Lyrics
One tiny step for us
Expressing a small progress for "us" collectively.
A milestone for mankind
Highlighting the significance of the progress for humanity as a whole.
Call me tomorrow
Request to be contacted in the future.
I am sure that I will find
Confident in finding a solution or explanation.
A way to tell you one more lie of how it all went wrong
Intending to fabricate another false explanation for a situation gone wrong.
And there's nothing there for you to sing along
Acknowledging that there's no reason for the listener to be involved or empathize.
Last time I spoke to Pete we mutually agreed
Recalling a conversation with Pete about a limited available time.
There's only one more vacant weekend that we need
Mutual agreement on the necessity of a specific weekend.
Go ahead and call the cops, I've been killing too much time
Defiantly acknowledging the misuse of time, inviting consequences.
I give up, now let the sanction fit the crime
Accepting the consequences fitting the actions.
And the planet keeps on spinning while we sleep away the years
Reflection on the continuity of life despite personal inactivity.
One last careful look at the mirror
A final gaze at oneself, observing physical and emotional scars.
These broken bones and fractured hearts, these empty cans of beer
Listing tangible remnants of a challenging life – broken bones, fractured hearts, empty beer cans.
Are just side effects of a bigger idea
Attributing the mentioned hardships as mere consequences of a larger concept or plan.
I found the answer to your song and made a plan
Claiming to have found a solution to the listener's song with a specific plan.
It's round the corner in the backseat of a van
Locating the solution in an unconventional place – the backseat of a van.
So meet me at the bar, bring a marker for the wall
Arranging to meet at a bar, emphasizing the simplicity of initiating the plan.
Just one first line and these dominos will fall
Stressing the significance of starting with a single action to set things in motion.
Last night I dreamt you got your masterpiece all done
Describing a dream where the listener completes a significant achievement.
You were wrong, it never was the same set of rules for everyone
Challenging the idea that everyone follows the same rules.
A note on moving on with an exclamation mark
Reference to a note about moving on, marked with an exclamation.
I woke up after weeks and it went dark
Waking up to darkness after a prolonged period of unconsciousness.
And the planet keeps on spinning while we sleep away the years
Reiteration of the Earth's continuous rotation during human inactivity.
One last careful look at the mirror
Final self-reflection, observing the consequences of a life lived.
These broken bones and fractured hearts, these empty cans of beer
Reiteration of physical and emotional scars as side effects of a larger plan or concept.
Are just side effects of a bigger idea
Blank line for visual separation.
So I guess I found the most amazing lines for you to sing
Expressing the discovery of remarkable lines for the listener to sing.
Somewhere near the unified theory of everything
Locating these lines near the unified theory of everything, suggesting their significance.
These broken arms and fractured hearts, these notebooks full of fear
Repeating the motif of broken limbs and hearts, and fear-filled notebooks as consequences.
They're just side effects of a bigger Idea
Reiterating that these consequences are side effects of a larger, overarching idea.
