Lyrics
While you were on the outside
You were excluded or kept outside of something
The outside looking in
You were observing from the exterior without being part of it
They received all the pleasure in the world
Others experienced immense pleasure or joy
None of which you will ever see
You won't have the chance to experience those pleasures
Oh well
An expression of resignation or acceptance
I'm sure you'll raise some hell
Belief that you'll cause trouble or rebellion in response
Some other time some other being
Referencing a different situation or person
Who has your name but not your feelings
Someone else with your identity but different emotions
I hope they're happy spending time
Wishing them happiness in their pursuits
Living your dream life
Living the life you aspired to
Everybody's happy
Observation that everyone seems content
I know you've seen it too
Acknowledgment that you've noticed the same
They've got everything you need
Others possess everything necessary
All you've got are your two sheets
You only have limited possessions
And a glimmer of a dream but it's been fading
Your dreams are diminishing
It's too much I can't take it anymore
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to continue
Devour me swallow till you burst
Metaphorically wanting to be consumed or overwhelmed
Remain
Desire to retain control over a personal space or identity
My digital domain
Referencing a personal online space or identity
Some other time some other being
Recurrence of the idea of a different entity with your identity
Who has your name but not your feelings
Similar to line 9, emphasizing the emotional disconnect
I hope they're happy spending time
Wishing the alternate version happiness in their life
Living your dream life
Reiteration of others living the life you desired
Well it's been a couple hours now you almost forgot
An acknowledgment of passing time
That you will never be never be anyone
Realization that you won't become someone else
It's killing me each second that I spend here
The situation is emotionally distressing
But I can't look away
Unable to divert attention despite distress
Everyone is taken so let's dance the night away
Suggesting engaging in activities despite the circumstances
Feel my fingers cross your face and lover take me with your ways
Desire for intimacy or connection
Show me all things that we were never meant to see
Seeking to explore forbidden or hidden aspects of life
The truth is right behind the screen but I just can't look away
Knowing the truth but unable to turn away from it
Sedate me along with the rest of them
Wishing to be sedated or numbed like others
I'm with the rest of them
Identification with others in a sedated state
We're more connected but I see you less than ever
Feeling more connected digitally but less personally connected
I don't want to know what's real or make my brain work
Not wanting to confront reality or exert mental effort
You're a tool to pass a law and make some more divide
Perception of being used as a means to create division
This machine is a distraction sucking us dry
Viewing technology as draining and distracting
The time is coming now to look each other in the eyes
Emphasizing the need for genuine human interaction
Wake up put the vice down and realize
Encouragement to wake up and recognize commonality
We are all the same
Recognition of shared humanity and equality
You and I
Highlighting the similarity between individuals
