Graffiti
Unlocking Urban Wisdom: Silver Lake Waves' Graffiti Revelations
Lyrics
If you wanna get down
If you want to have a good time or enjoy yourself
If you wanna get hurt
If you're willing to experience pain or emotional distress
If you wanna get by for another night
If you want to get through just for another night
If you wanna breathe
If you want to live or exist
You forgot how to read
You've lost the ability to understand or comprehend
You’re going too slow slow, graffiti oh
You're progressing too slowly, symbolized by graffiti
Do you need proof that you’re still here?
Are you searching for evidence that you still exist or matter?
I know I do, that’s why I’m singing this
The singer acknowledges the need for confirmation of existence, expressed through the song
If you wanna make sense
If you want to make logical sense
Break apart common sense
Challenge and break away from conventional wisdom or rationality
If you wanna express, get out of here
If you want to express yourself, leave this place
Go write on the walls
Express yourself creatively by writing on the walls
You forgot how to spell
You've forgotten the basics, perhaps indicating a loss of simplicity or fundamentals
You’re going too slow slow, graffiti oh
You're progressing too slowly, symbolized by graffiti (repeated from line 6)
Do you need proof that you’re still here?
Questioning the need for evidence of existence (repeated from line 7)
I know I do, that’s why I’m singing this
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of the need for confirmation of existence (repeated from line 8)
I’ve lost my intellect
Expression of having lost one's intellectual capacity
Can you help me find it?
A plea for assistance in finding lost intellectual capacity
I have looked right down uncanny valley
Reflecting on a deep, unsettling, and strange experience
Between buildings and concrete alleys
Describing the unsettling space between urban structures
Behind the day to day it takes my breath away
A profound experience that leaves the singer breathless, hidden behind the routine of daily life
You and I are together hand in hand
Symbolizing unity and connection with another person
And I have seen strange forms take shape in the
Observing unusual or abstract shapes taking form
Abstract outpourings of being
Expressing abstract emotions or thoughts
If you wanna get down
If you want to have a good time or enjoy yourself (repeated from line 1)
If you wanna get hurt
If you're willing to experience pain or emotional distress (repeated from line 2)
If you wanna get by for another night
If you want to get through just for another night (repeated from line 3)
If you wanna breathe
If you want to live or exist (repeated from line 4)
You forgot how to read
You've lost the ability to understand or comprehend (repeated from line 5)
You’re going too slow slow, graffiti oh
You're progressing too slowly, symbolized by graffiti (repeated from line 6)
Do you need proof that you’re still here?
Questioning the need for evidence of existence (repeated from line 7)
I know I do, that’s why I’m singing this
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of the need for confirmation of existence (repeated from line 8)
