Lyrics
April 9, over 40°C
Describing a hot day on April 9th with a temperature exceeding 40°C.
The second time in as many weeks
Second occurrence of an exceptionally hot day within two weeks.
She says 'Hi, are you holding?'
A greeting suggesting a desire for drugs or a similar substance.
I reply 'Are you kidding me?'
Surprised response questioning the seriousness of the inquiry.
Pull out my phone, drop a number
Sharing contact information (number) using a phone.
Keep my cool while we're sweating beads
Maintaining composure in a hot environment.
There's a man on my corner
Reference to a mysterious person on the street corner providing something.
I never know what he's giving me
Uncertainty about the substances received from the mysterious person.
'Cause it's funny how it came around
Reflecting on a situation coming full circle.
We couldn't lift each other, now we're going down
A metaphorical decline after being unable to support each other.
Too late to be searching for the words to say
Realization that it's too late to find the right words.
We only find the rhythm and spells our fate
Emphasizing the importance of rhythm in shaping destiny.
Silver caps torn asunder
Symbolic imagery of broken silver caps.
Feel it rise like the mercury
Sensation of rising intensity like mercury, possibly metaphorical.
Water comes; sense of wonder
Awe at the arrival of water, suggesting a moment of revelation.
Off the ground in the global sea
Ascending from the ground into a global sea, possibly a metaphor for unity.
'Cause it's funny how it came around
Reiterating the cyclical nature of events.
We couldn't lift each other, now we're going down
Continued decline, unable to uplift each other.
Too late to be searching for the words to say
Realizing it's too late for meaningful communication.
We only find the rhythm and spells our fate
Emphasizing the role of rhythm in determining fate.
No
A simple rejection or denial.
Don't worry where it all went wrong
Advice not to dwell on the past mistakes or failures.
Don't think about it for too long
Warning against overthinking and prolonged reflection.
Two degrees beyond a second chance
Describing a situation just beyond the possibility of redemption.
The twilight of our dalliance
Referring to the end of a romantic or intimate connection.
It's too late for us to stop it now
Acceptance that it's too late to prevent a negative outcome.
We're only dancing while it all burns down
Engaging in activities despite impending chaos or destruction.
It's funny how it came around
Highlighting the ironic and cyclical nature of events.
'Cause it's funny how it came around
Repetition of the recognition of the cyclical nature of fate.
We couldn't lift each other, now we're going down
Continued descent, unable to support each other.
Too late to be searching for the words to say
Acknowledging the futility of searching for meaningful words.
We only find the rhythm and spells our fate
Reiterating the role of rhythm in determining destiny.
