Lyrics
There's no one here for miles
Isolation, solitude, no one around for miles.
It's just me in the burning sun
The speaker is alone under the intense sun.
It's just me, myself, and my gun
The speaker relies on themselves and their inner strength (symbolized by the gun).
Remembering the times
Reflecting on past memories.
Oh, grapes of my vines
Referring to cherished aspects of the speaker's life.
But with family I
Despite having family, the speaker feels disconnected or distant.
I don't have the time
Lack of time for family due to other priorities.
Time to be questioning life
Avoiding deep existential questioning due to lack of time.
(You just gotta be there)
Encouragement to simply be present in the moment.
A mother needs a sons, oh she needs them near
A mother's need for her sons to be close.
We don't need to talk, I just need you here
Emphasizing the importance of silent companionship.
But if you go away, please don't disappear
Request to stay connected even if physically apart.
The heat is making light of a heavy year
The challenging year is lightened by the warmth of the sun.
I really hope there's rainfall
Expressing a desire for rain as a metaphor for relief or renewal.
My hands together, looking at the stars
Observing the stars, possibly seeking guidance or solace.
I really hope there's angels
Hope for divine intervention or protection.
Because the world is turning, turning way too fast
Perception of the world spinning too fast, a sense of chaos.
She says she can't turn tables
A response to someone claiming inability to change their circumstances.
Well I say, "You don't know how well you are
Encouraging the person to recognize their own strength.
Or just how strong you are
Reiterating the unrecognized strength of the person.
You don't know how strong you are"
Emphasizing the person's unknown resilience.
A pillow on your face soaking up those tears
Symbolic imagery of a pillow absorbing tears, possibly indicating emotional pain.
Who's anyone to say you should have no fear?
Challenging the notion that one should be fearless.
A mouth full of smoke really made things clear (yeah)
Clarity gained through difficult experiences, represented by smoke.
You've been with me since the cradle
Acknowledgment of a constant presence or support since birth.
You've been with me, you're my angel
Identifying the constant presence as an angelic figure.
Please don't you disappear
Plea to the constant presence not to vanish.
It's just me in the burning sun
Reiteration of the speaker's solitary state under the sun.
It's just me, myself, and my gun
Reaffirmation of self-reliance, emphasizing the gun as a symbol of strength.
