Knockout
Nostalgic Echoes: Self Doubt's 'Knockout' Unveiled
Lyrics
It's just another movie night up in my room
Setting the scene of a movie night in the narrator's room.
And you're welcome to stay here
Inviting someone to stay in the narrator's room.
All that I ask is that you keep me awake
Requesting the person's company to keep the narrator awake.
Cause I don't know what happened
Expressing confusion or uncertainty about recent events.
Stand me upright you're still by my side
Highlighting the person's continued presence and support.
And I don't understand it
Expressing confusion about the person's loyalty or actions.
Cause I lived through the days that you'd keep me awake
Recalling past days when the person kept the narrator awake.
And your eyes start to wander up my sleeve
Noticing the person's gaze wandering, possibly indicating distraction or disinterest.
Now it's mid-september and I can hardly still remember what it's like for you and I to say Goodnight
Reflecting on the fading memories of a previous time with the person.
Blink it's mid-october and I feel I'm getting older
Sensing the passage of time and the feeling of aging.
Take me back to the first week of July
Longing for the past, specifically the first week of July.
I held you
Recalling a moment of intimacy with the person.
Indigo in my breath-in
Describing a deep connection or emotional state during the intimate moment.
I held you
Repeating the sentiment of holding the person.
Now I'm tangled up inside of these wretched drawn on lines upon your skin
Feeling entangled or trapped within emotional complexities.
Now they're only felt by someone else
Noting that the emotional lines on the person's skin are now felt by someone else.
But they'll stick to your lips when they're the first thing that you kiss
Emphasizing the lasting impact of a first kiss on the lips.
And that's the best thing that I've done with my whole life
Considering the first kiss as the best thing done in life.
Now it's mid-september and I can hardly still remember what it's like for you
Repeating the reflection on fading memories and the difficulty of saying goodnight.
And I to say goodnight
Reiterating the sense of time passing and the narrator getting older.
Blink it's mid-october and I feel I'm getting older
Blank line, possibly indicating a pause or reflection.
Take me back to the first week of July
Yearning to return to the nostalgic first week of July.
