Lyrics
Took too much medicine in Shanghai
Took excessive medication while in Shanghai
Slept through the capture of Saddam
Slept through the time when Saddam Hussein was captured
Dice and eyes dice by drunk candlelight
Playing dice and looking at eyes in the flickering light of a drunken state
Thriving on the other side of the dateline
Experiencing success or prosperity beyond the international date line
This will only be the once…
Indicates a unique or rare occurrence
This is where the moment gained the meaning
Signifying the point where a particular moment gained significance or importance
Doing the Paris thing with text messaging
Engaging in the lifestyle associated with Paris, using text messaging as a part of it
Henghan Lu may be my last move
Henghan Lu might be the final decision or action
Time zones briefly heal all wounds
Time differences temporarily alleviate pain or emotional wounds
I always feel first for the ground
Instinctively sensing the ground or reality first in situations
But these towers make another case
The presence of tall structures (towers) presents a different perspective or argument
And now I can't separate from this
Feeling unable to detach or disconnect from a situation or circumstance
I always feel first for the ground
Repeated sentiment about sensing the ground or reality first in situations
But these towers make another sound
Tall structures (towers) emit a different sound or message
And now I can't step away from this
Expressing difficulty in distancing oneself from a situation or circumstance
So many walks back home
Many journeys back to one's residence
All the crashing reflection
Intense contemplation or introspection about life's reflections and crashes
Life: relive a few high nights
Life involves revisiting a few memorable, euphoric nights
Goodbye from a few miles away
A farewell said from a distance
For the last time
Final parting or goodbye
“the last time of today”
Highlighting the finality of a moment within the day
Each year is more a murder
Each passing year feels increasingly like a betrayal or loss
But I'm not here alone
Despite everything, not being alone in the present circumstance
