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
