Lyrics
I fear I’m out of time
The speaker feels like they're running out of time.
Poured out like sour wine
They feel drained or emptied out, like spoiled or ineffective wine.
I’m in a cold light
The speaker feels exposed or vulnerable in a harsh, stark reality.
I fear I’m out of line
The speaker feels like they've crossed a boundary or rule.
Worked up on too much wine
They're agitated or overly excited due to excessive wine consumption.
Let’s call it a night
They suggest ending the current situation or event.
You don’t come around for me
The person the speaker desires doesn't visit them often.
But we never really part
Although physically apart, there's no clear separation emotionally.
You said you’d wait around and see
The person promised to wait and observe but hasn't truly done so.
But you never really are
Despite the promise, the person isn't present as expected.
And I won’t stop coming
The speaker asserts their determination to persist despite obstacles.
And I won’t stop coming
Reiteration of the resolve to persist regardless of challenges.
And I won’t stop ‘til it’s dark
The determination to continue until darkness or the end.
Some things are not anymore
Some things may no longer exist but still have an impact.
But they’re never really gone.
Even if they're gone, they still influence the present.
Fantastic
A sarcastic or ironic remark suggesting something extraordinary.
Eyes like plastic
Comparing eyes to artificial or fake material.
Keep your mouth shut
Advice to keep quiet unless explicitly asked to speak.
Unless I ask it
Asserting a sense of control or dominance over a situation.
Feeling on top
Feeling triumphant or successful.
Hoppin’ on pop
Playing around or having fun in a carefree manner.
If it keeps him hot
Actions taken to maintain someone's interest or excitement.
Then all’s not lost
Despite challenges, not everything is irretrievably lost.
Seek and find, son
Encouragement to actively search or explore.
Seek and find, child
A repetition of the encouragement to explore, emphasizing youth.
You’re playing with sticks and stones
A metaphorical comparison between different levels of impact or harm.
When only bottles and cans can break my bones
Warning against underestimating the potential for harm.
You’re playing with flesh and blood
Highlighting the mismatch between the severity of actions and consequences.
When only sticks and tricks can bring me low
Emphasizing vulnerability to less obvious threats or deceptions.
But if you seek, you’ll find son
Reinforcing the idea that seeking will lead to finding.
And if you seek, you’ll be fine child
Encouraging persistence in seeking, especially for the young.
