Alien USA
Lost in Love's Chemical Maze: Alien Musings by Ryan Adams
Lyrics
All I had is gone
All possessions I once had are no longer with me.
The truth these days
In the present times, honesty is difficult to find or express.
I've been cheering gum
Engaging in trivial or meaningless activities, possibly as a distraction.
Finding new places to wait
Exploring different places while anticipating something.
And I wait
Expressing a state of anticipation.
And I wait
Reiterating the feeling of waiting.
And I wait
Continuing to wait for an unknown event or outcome.
Hey somebody tell me what
Asking for a definition or explanation of love.
What is love?
Questioning the nature or essence of love.
Is it a chemical
Considering if love is a product of chemicals or biology.
If you could bottle it
Imagining the possibility of capturing love like a substance.
Take it into the road
Transporting this hypothetical bottled love into the world.
And roll it over with a tank
Using extreme force or power to confront or crush obstacles.
Cats born with laser eyes
Imagery depicting fantastical or impossible creatures.
And dragons tails
Continuation of surreal and mythical elements.
Your dogs can't hypnotize
Expressing the limitations of one's pets.
They are not there.
Asserting the absence or non-existence of certain things.
They're gone
Confirming the departure or absence of something.
Up to the Tuna Store in the sun
Describing an unrealistic or nonsensical location.
What I had to say to you
Reflecting on past attempts to communicate, possibly feeling foolish about it.
Was dumb
Admitting inadequacy in expressing oneself.
I'm always drawing blanks
Consistently experiencing mental blocks or lack of inspiration.
Spatulas for pencils
Using unconventional tools to create or communicate.
Filling in what I would say
Substituting meaningful words with uncertainty or forgetfulness.
With I don't know I forget
Expressing uncertainty or forgetfulness in communication.
OK
Accepting the situation or giving up on the attempt to articulate.
Alien USA
Mentioning a place or situation that feels unfamiliar or alien.
Alien USA
Repetition of the notion of feeling alienated or out of place.
