Loneliness Unveiled: Breather's Midnight Confessions
Lyrics
The ciggy squad confessed
The group of people who smoke cigarettes (ciggy squad) confessed.
They're stepping out again
They are going out once again.
They swear they're shootin' shit
They claim to be engaging in intense activities (shootin' shit).
But I know they're talkin' it
The speaker doubts their claim and believes they are just talking.
If I make it home
If the speaker makes it home, they may choose not to go outside again.
I might not step foot outside again
The speaker feels a sense of isolation and reluctance to venture outdoors.
I'm always alone
The speaker is frequently alone.
Stalled by the puzzles in my head, my head
The speaker's thoughts are preoccupied with mental challenges or puzzles.
My friends are fast asleep
The speaker's friends are currently asleep.
Or so I hope, at least
The speaker hopes their friends are asleep, suggesting a desire for company.
They all stop texting me
The speaker's friends have stopped texting them.
Back earlier every night, every night
The friends are returning home earlier every night.
Never ever, no matter what, admit it
A general principle: Never admit something, no matter what.
When I catch you dozing off
The speaker notices when someone is falling asleep.
I can tell within the next five minutes
The speaker can predict within the next five minutes if someone is dozing off.
This night is lonely enough
The night is already lonely, emphasizing the speaker's solitude.
Never ever, no matter what, admit it
Reiteration of the principle: Never admit something, no matter what.
When I catch you dozing off
Repetition of noticing when someone is falling asleep.
I can tell within the next five minutes
Repetition of predicting within the next five minutes if someone is dozing off.
This night is lonely enough
Emphasis on the loneliness of the night.
