Lyrics
You're staring up there again
You are once again lost in thought or distracted by something above.
Headlight
A source of light, possibly representing clarity or direction.
Keep your eyes on the road, babe
Focus on driving, avoid distractions; a plea to stay on course.
It's not the time to be staring away
Now is not the time to be inattentive or lost in contemplation.
Old habits are now your friends
Behaviors from the past have become familiar and comforting.
You've begun to notice change
A realization that change is happening, possibly in the person's life.
You keep yourself in these chains
Self-imposed limitations or struggles, possibly emotional or psychological.
Like it doesn't even matter
Behaving as if consequences don't matter or are insignificant.
Headlight
Reiteration of a source of light, maintaining the theme of clarity.
Streetlamp
Another source of light, possibly representing guidance in life.
Lose track
Getting distracted, losing focus, or deviating from the path.
Of time
Losing awareness of the passage of time.
It's the lack of empathy
The absence of understanding and compassion in the situation.
I don't know what you see in me
Uncertainty about one's own worth or the reasons for being valued.
Every light you burn out
Every positive aspect or opportunity is being extinguished.
Every sip that you take
Each drink contributes to a sense of uncertainty or confusion.
I don't know what to make
Difficulty in understanding or making sense of the situation.
Out of this
A sense of confusion or ambiguity about the circumstances.
What are we
Questioning the nature of the relationship or situation.
Some kind of excuse
Perceiving the situation as a mere excuse or justification.
You don't see the truth engrained in your bottle
A call to recognize the truth, possibly hidden within a substance (bottle).
Take your hand off the throttle
Advising to release control, possibly from addictive behaviors.
The throttle
Emphasizing the need to let go, possibly from harmful habits.
Headlight
Reiteration of a source of light, maintaining the theme of clarity.
Streetlamp
Another source of light, possibly representing guidance in life.
Lose track
Getting distracted, losing focus, or deviating from the path.
Of time
Losing awareness of the passage of time.
