Alcohol
Navigating Love's Disarray: Saturday Looks Good to Me - Alcohol
Lyrics
When they started counting down
Reflecting on the beginning of a countdown or a significant event.
I could not believe that you were fast asleep
Expressing surprise that someone is asleep during a crucial moment.
And I felt like those flashing lights
Feeling a sense of detachment, likening it to flashing lights on the ocean floor.
On the ocean floor, at the liquor store
Drawing a metaphorical connection between flashing lights and a liquor store.
It's not the type of secret that you want to keep too long
Acknowledging a secret that shouldn't be concealed for too long.
Look for me but I'll be gone
Indicating departure or disappearance when someone looks for the speaker.
Take your love and step it down
Suggesting a decision to reduce the intensity of love or emotions.
Spin around the room 'til you have to choose
Describing a chaotic situation where a choice needs to be made by spinning around.
Maybe I'll pick both of them
Considering the possibility of choosing both options presented.
Maybe neither one
Contemplating the option of choosing neither of the presented choices.
Maybe Emerson
Mentioning "Emerson" as a potential choice or reference, possibly to transcendentalism.
Every time the phone rings it sounds like a song
Associating the sound of the phone ringing with a musical quality.
Look for me and I'll be gone
Reiterating the theme of departure when someone tries to find the speaker.
You can't sing to save your life
Criticizing someone's singing ability, possibly in a metaphorical sense.
Through the alcohol
Linking the inability to sing well with the influence of alcohol.
Drinking champagne off the walls
Depicting a scene of indulgence, drinking champagne off the walls.
It looks like after all
Observing that people still talk about the speaker despite the passage of time.
They still talk about us like they've got nothing else to do
Highlighting the continued gossip about the speaker when others have nothing else to do.
It could have been lines
Suggesting an alternate path in life that could have been taken.
And after all this time
Reflecting on the enduring nature of the impact of the past.
They'll still talk about us like we're not even in the room
Emphasizing that others still discuss the speaker as if they are not present.
Outside the birds sing
Noting the loudness of birds outside in contrast to the phone ringing.
Louder than the phone rings
Comparing the loudness of birds to the phone ringing, possibly emphasizing nature's presence.
Every night you fall asleep with your headphones on
Describing a routine of falling asleep with headphones on every night.
Look for me and I'll be gone
Reiterating the theme of the speaker being absent when sought.
