Lyrics

Got bored of the show

Feeling disinterested in the current situation or entertainment.

So I went home to look at the walls

Choosing to leave and seek solace at home by contemplating one's surroundings.

And catch my thoughts but they're all multiplying

Attempting to reflect on thoughts, but finding them overwhelming and rapidly increasing.

Like dust kicked off from the floor

Thoughts are dispersing like dust lifted from the floor, becoming scattered.

They spiral out and under the door

Thoughts extending beyond one's control, seeping out under the door.

Then float up and start to stick to the ceiling

Thoughts rising and adhering to the ceiling, possibly indicating a sense of entanglement.


But I'm okay if you're okay

Expressing a state of emotional well-being, contingent on the well-being of someone else.

I'm too lazy to say I'm not

Choosing not to express negative feelings, possibly due to inertia or reluctance.

Even if I wanted to explain

Even if there is a desire to communicate, the effort required seems daunting.

It would probably take too long

The explanation, if attempted, would be time-consuming.


Can't go back

A recognition that one cannot reverse or undo past events.

But I keep track of all of your words

Keeping a record of someone else's words, perhaps indicating a sense of attachment.

Spread them thin and dig too deep for a meaning

Engaging deeply with words, possibly to find meaning, even if it feels like a challenging task.

It's murder but it's a game

Suggesting a struggle or difficulty, described metaphorically as "murder" in the context of a game.

You like to watch me try to get away

Acknowledging an audience or observer enjoying the struggle to escape.

Who knew dying could be so fucking embarrassing?

Reflecting on the irony or awkwardness of death, possibly in a metaphorical sense.


But I'm okay if you're okay

Reiterating emotional well-being, suggesting mutual dependence on someone else's state.

We both know it's a longshot

Acknowledging the unlikelihood of success or positive outcome.

Even if I wanted you to stay

If there's a desire for someone to stay, recognizing the inevitability of a stalemate or deadlock.

We'd get caught in a deadlock

Anticipating complications and obstacles if the desire for the other person to stay is expressed.


I'll just leave it for today

Deciding to postpone or avoid dealing with a situation for the time being.

Couldn't bring myself to tell you to stop

Unable to bring oneself to instruct someone to stop a particular action.

Only ever wanted you to stay

Expressing a persistent desire for someone to stay, despite potential difficulties.

But we'd get caught in a deadlock

Anticipating a deadlock or impasse if the desire for the other person to stay is pursued.
