Lyrics
There's no more searching for answers
Expressing a sense of finality, no more seeking solutions or answers.
Better leave it anyway
Suggesting it's preferable to abandon or end something regardless.
You wonder how it'll feel like
Pondering the experience of aging and imagining how it feels at an older age.
When he gets to be your age
Reflecting on the future, wondering about the emotions and challenges at an advanced age.
And now I'm cutting off the corners
Metaphorically referring to making decisive changes, eliminating unnecessary aspects.
Circling the drain, I'm washing out
Describing a state of decline or deterioration, possibly related to personal struggles.
I'm always looking for the answers
Continuing the theme of seeking answers, a recurring aspect in the narrator's life.
You're always begging me to let you out
Highlighting the pressure from someone else to allow freedom or release.
When the apartment is empty
Describing an empty living space, potentially a metaphor for emotional emptiness.
And the well has run dry
Indicating a lack of resources or inspiration, reaching a point of depletion.
When it takes all the strength in your body
Emphasizing the immense effort required to sustain something important.
Just to keep it alive
Addressing the struggle to maintain vitality and keep something meaningful alive.
I still see you everywhere I go
Expressing a persistent presence of someone or something despite physical absence.
Before you shaved your hair
Referring to a specific moment before a drastic change in appearance (shaved hair).
It was you in the back seat
Recalling a person's presence in the past, possibly in a reflective or nostalgic tone.
It was you in the back of the crowd, I swear
Asserting the person's presence even in a large crowd, emphasizing significance.
And now I'm cutting off the corners
Reiterating the theme of decisive actions, cutting off unnecessary elements.
I'm circling the drain, I'm washing out
Maintaining a sense of decline or purification, washing away unwanted aspects.
I'm always looking for the answers
Continuing the quest for answers amid the ongoing struggles.
You're always begging me to let you out
Highlighting the persistent request from someone to be set free or allowed out.
And now I'm cutting off the corners
Repeating the idea of eliminating unnecessary elements in a more assertive manner.
I'm circling the drain, I'm washing out
Re-emphasizing the state of decline or purification, possibly intensifying.
I'm always looking for the answers
Persistently searching for answers, indicating an ongoing internal quest.
You're always begging me to let you out
Recurring plea or demand from someone to be released or set free.
And now I'm clawing at your back door
Introducing a new action, symbolically attempting to enter or reconnect.
I'm crawling up the stairs where I saw you again
Describing a specific location where a significant encounter or observation occurred.
And I was sleeping on your front porch
Recalling a vulnerable or desperate moment, seeking admission or acceptance.
Yeah, I was begging you to let me in
Reiterating the plea or request to be allowed in, possibly expressing vulnerability.
