Lyrics
Didn't mean much to me
Expressing that something had little significance or importance to the speaker.
Went out on the porch again
The speaker went outside on the porch.
And lit another cigarette
The speaker lit another cigarette, possibly as a coping mechanism or routine.
But it meant that much to me
Contradicting the initial statement, now suggesting that the mentioned thing holds importance to the speaker.
Packed up and I went to bed
The speaker decided to go to bed and leave the situation behind.
It didn't feel right took the floor instead
Expressing discomfort or unease, opting for an alternative action.
But I didn't manage any sleep
The speaker couldn't find peace and didn't sleep.
Looked outside and just saw red
Seeing a troubling or anger-inducing situation outside.
The sky is falling just do what you do best
Suggesting a chaotic or crisis situation, advising to stick to one's strengths.
And promise to remember me
A request or plea to be remembered by others.
When I'm finally laid to rest
Reflecting on mortality and anticipating one's death.
I don't have the answers oh but I could take a guess
Acknowledging a lack of certainty but expressing a willingness to make educated guesses.
Forget my face
An instruction to forget the speaker's physical appearance.
Just know my name
Encouraging others to remember the speaker by name.
Cause this one's mine
Claiming ownership or uniqueness of a particular aspect or quality.
Can't be replaced
Stating the irreplaceable nature of something belonging to the speaker.
Oh you're out in the open
Describing a feeling of being exposed or vulnerable.
I'm just empty space
Portraying a sense of emptiness or insignificance.
No ones praying for me
Expressing a belief that no one is praying or hoping for the speaker.
At the pearly gates
Referencing a potential afterlife scenario at the gates of heaven.
But when I get there
Expressing confidence and lack of fear about the afterlife.
I know I won't be scared
Anticipating a positive experience upon reaching the afterlife.
No babe I'll just
Rejecting fear in favor of a positive attitude.
Smile wide and welcome the sunset
Imagining a peaceful and contented acceptance of the end of the day or life.
Its felt like forever but we really just first met
Contrasting the perceived duration of an experience with the reality of its recent occurrence.
