Bored Together
Eternal Moments: Nostalgia and Togetherness in Boredom
Lyrics
I like being bored together
I enjoy the experience of being bored with someone
In simpler times on pavement lines
Reflecting on simpler times marked by pavement lines, suggesting stability or permanence
That were meant forever
Emphasizing the enduring nature of those pavement lines
The childish games that dreamt of airplanes
Recalling childhood games that involved dreaming of airplanes and staying together
We always stayed together
Highlighting the consistent togetherness during childhood
The lights turned on, the sun was gone
Describing a moment when lights come on, and the sun sets on streets
On streets wherever
Expressing a universal experience, regardless of location
It always turns into another
Acknowledging a recurring pattern or cycle
Nostalgic show off with my brother
Engaging in a nostalgic display with a sibling
With every memory that's faded
Noting memories that have faded over time
I'm never getting what was wasted
Regretting the loss or wastefulness of past experiences
The days when we faked it better
Referencing a time when pretending or faking things was done more skillfully
I had no fever but you'd be there
Recalling a time with no illness, but someone was there nonetheless
Watching films like never
Watching films in a unique or exceptional manner
Ending story on the floor
Ending a story on the floor, possibly a metaphor for unconventional storytelling
Beside the better
Next to someone considered better or superior
Office chair, your spiky hair
Describing a scene with an office chair and distinctive hair
I wont forget her
Committing to memory someone with spiky hair, possibly a significant person
It always turns into another
Reiterating a recurring pattern of nostalgia with a sibling
Nostalgic show off with my brother
Continuing the theme of nostalgia with a brother and faded memories
With every memory that's faded
Expressing a sense of loss or unfulfilled experiences tied to memories
I'm never getting what was wasted
Repeating the idea of not recovering what was wasted in the past
It always turns into another
Highlighting a recurring cycle of nostalgia with a sibling
Nostalgic show off with my brother
Engaging in a nostalgic display with a brother, echoing earlier lines
With every memory that's faded
Reiterating the theme of faded memories and their irretrievability
I'm never getting what was wasted
Expressing a sense of permanence in not recovering what was lost
Your house is open
Describing an open house but expressing hesitance to go there
But I'll never go there
Declining to visit despite the openness of the house
Cause you haven't told me
Highlighting a lack of invitation or clarity on whether a visit is welcome
If I could come over
Expressing a preference for the shared experience of being bored together
I like being bored together
Repeating the enjoyment of being bored together, reinforcing the theme
In simpler times on pavement lines
Reflecting again on simpler times marked by pavement lines
That were meant forever
Emphasizing the enduring nature of those pavement lines, repeating a sentiment
The childish games that dreamt of airplanes
Recalling childhood games that involved dreaming of airplanes and staying together
We always stayed together
Highlighting the consistent togetherness during childhood, repeating a theme
The lights turned on, the sun was gone
Describing a moment when lights come on, and the sun sets on streets
On streets wherever
Ending the lyrics with a repetition of the universal experience on streets
