Lyrics
With my companion on my left arm
Feeling accompanied by someone on the left side
A stranger on my right
Being next to a stranger on the right side
Never wanting to inflict harm
Intention to avoid causing harm
Somebody guide me to the light
Seeking guidance or direction towards positivity
When we walked out on the ocean
Recalling a past experience of walking on the ocean
You told me it would be alright
Reassurance from the companion about things being okay
You had two months of sobriety
Reference to the companion having maintained two months of sobriety
A checkered token good for one
A token or symbol, possibly indicating sobriety, linked to Bud Light
Bud Light
Mention of the brand Bud Light, possibly associated with the companion's sobriety
When you go
Request or expression when the companion leaves
Please don't take me with you
Desire not to be taken along when the companion departs
I'm not your boy
Clarification that the speaker is not the companion's possession
I'm not your friend
Distinction between the speaker's roles as not a boy or a friend but a companion
I'm your companion
Identification of the speaker's role as the companion
When you lit your sun on fire
Metaphorical reference to a significant action or event causing chaos or change
Like shifting faces on full moon
Comparison between actions and the changing phases of the moon
A fainting fleeting feeling
Describing a fleeting and dizzying sensation
A compulsion
An uncontrollable urge or drive to stay in the companion's space
To stay here in your room
Desire to remain in the companion's vicinity
In the
Reference to a state of absence of light
Darkness
Mention of being in darkness
You reach out to me
The companion reaching out in the darkness
We walk it off in silence
Walking together without speaking
Too shy to take care of ourselves
Being too timid or hesitant to take care of themselves
The world is spinning faster
Perception of the world moving faster as a symbolic cast suffers
As this cast of alabaster burns in hell
Suggesting internal turmoil or pain
When you go
Reiteration of the request not to be taken when the companion leaves
Please don't take me with you
Emphasizing the separation between the speaker's identity and the companion
You're not my voice
Disassociation of the companion from being the speaker's voice
You're not my smile
Clarification that the companion is not the source of the speaker's happiness
You're my companion
Reiteration of the speaker's role as the companion
