Press F5 to Quicksave
Quicksave Regrets: Navigating Life's Undo Button
Lyrics
I'm on my own
I am currently alone.
In the parking lot of my old high school
I am situated in the parking lot of my former high school.
Pounding Sierras
Drinking Sierras, possibly referring to a beverage.
And wishing I could just get over this
I wish I could overcome a certain situation or emotion.
I could go
I have the option to go back.
Right back home
I could return home.
Fall asleep
I might fall asleep.
But the lights on the keyboard keep me up and night
The lights on the keyboard are preventing me from sleeping.
And I wish I could quicksave
I wish I could save my current state, as in a video game.
In real life ('cause I)
This expresses a desire to quicksave in real life.
I would've hit F5
If life were a game, the singer would have saved before the current situation.
Before any of this happened
A regretful reflection on not taking a precautionary step.
I'll press F9
Expressing a desire to reset life, possibly to undo mistakes.
Reset my life
The singer wants to start over and pretend they have another chance.
Pretend that I
Imagining having another opportunity in life.
Have one more try
Continuing the theme of having another try or chance.
I'll press F9
Expressing a desire to reset life, similar to line 13.
Reset my life
Wanting to start anew and pretend for a second chance.
Pretend that I
Continuation of the theme of imagining another opportunity.
And I wish I could quicksave
Expressing a wish to save the current state in real life.
In real life ('cause I)
Expressing a desire to quicksave in real life, reiterating line 10.
I would've hit F5
Reflecting on the idea of saving before life events unfold.
Before any of this happened
A repetition of the regret for not saving before a situation occurred.
And I wish I could see me
Desiring to see oneself in the eyes of another person.
In your eyes (again)
Expressing a wish to see oneself reflected in someone else's eyes.
Yeah I should've hit F5
If the singer could go back, they would have saved before saying goodbye.
Before saying goodbye
Expressing a desire to quicksave in real life, reiterating line 10.
And I wish I could quicksave
Repetition of the regret for not saving before saying goodbye.
