Lyrics
I see the settling I have in my eyes
I observe the calmness and resolution in my gaze.
Imagine my surprise
Surprised by the situation or circumstances.
Heaven and earth have both fled way
Both heavenly and earthly elements have departed.
After the argument that was very little to say
After a disagreement, there was very little to communicate.
Uh uh uh oh yeah as the dust came down
Dust falls as a symbolic event or aftermath.
Uh uh uh uh
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm without specific meaning.
When I drown I drown
Expressing a sense of drowning, possibly in emotional turmoil.
Uh uh uh uh
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm without specific meaning.
Lining wood slab on a cold city street
Wooden slabs lining a cold urban street.
Soaking up the rain
Being exposed to and absorbing rain while standing on the street.
With the soles of my feet
Describing the act of walking barefoot with direct contact with the ground.
Now the city feels like a cold cruel place
Urban environment feeling harsh and unforgiving.
When you're down on your luck and it spits in your face
Life becomes challenging, and adversity is faced with disrespect.
Uh uh uh I walk barefoot now
Embracing a barefoot lifestyle metaphorically, symbolizing vulnerability.
Uh uh uh
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm without specific meaning.
Uh uh uh on the edge of the Nile
Walking barefoot on the edge of the Nile, possibly a metaphor for a challenging journey.
Uh uh uh
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm without specific meaning.
I tread lightly on no man's land
Moving cautiously in a risky or uncertain situation.
With my high wheels on I keep sinking in sand
Struggling in a challenging or difficult environment.
Now I'm buying coffee and I'm drinking some rum
Engaging in mundane activities like buying coffee and drinking rum.
If Mezcal wasn't so tight
Mention of Mezcal, possibly representing a constraint or limitation.
I'd run and run and run and run and run and run and run
An intense desire to escape, expressed through repetition.
Uh uh uh I walk barefoot now
Continuation of embracing a barefoot lifestyle, emphasizing vulnerability.
Uh uh uh
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm without specific meaning.
Uh uh uh on the edge of the Nile
Reiterating the experience of walking barefoot on the edge of the Nile.
Uh uh uh
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm without specific meaning.
Uh uh uh I walk barefoot now
Reaffirmation of the choice to walk barefoot, indicating a bold and vulnerable stance.
Uh uh uh
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm without specific meaning.
Uh uh uh on the edge of the Nile
Reiterating the experience of walking barefoot on the edge of the Nile.
Uh uh uh
Repetition for emphasis or rhythm without specific meaning.
