Lyrics

Was that a blue canary

Questioning if something seemingly unusual or out of place, like a blue canary, was observed

Behind your hands cuffed over the two by two

Speculating about a hidden or obscured action or situation (represented by hands cuffed over a two by two)

A little friendly fire

Referring to accidental harm caused within a friendly or close environment

He's just a boy who had your back, covering you

Describing someone, possibly young, who supported or defended another person


If you could mail some takeaway would you?

Questioning the possibility of sending some food for later consumption

And if you did would time begin to slow?

Wondering if sending something would affect the perception of time

Way down, way, way down

Expressing a descent or a deep dive into a situation or feeling

To bring the noise of your life right back to year zero

Reflecting on a desire to reset or erase past experiences and start anew

I guess we'll never know

Uncertainty about the possibility of understanding or achieving the desired outcome


Where is the road we travel?

Questioning the path or direction of one's journey

Can we surround ourselves

Asking if it's possible to be surrounded by genuine and supportive individuals

With a heartfelt crew?

Keeping a collection of comforting or reliable experiences or memories

We keep a loaded cabinet

Metaphorically referencing having a stash of religious or moral teachings

With episodes of the Lord to tried and true

Continuing the reference to a repository of moral guidance or certainty


But if the time begins to shift out of you

Addressing the potential loss of oneself or one's essence

We'll hide the signs that says there's no follow through

Committing to hiding any evidence that might reveal lack of follow-through or commitment

Down, down, way, way down

Emphasizing a profound dive into oneself or a situation, seeking a reset

To bring the noise of your life right back to year zero

Desiring to reset or restart one's life, echoing a return to an initial starting point

We'll never ever know

Expressing doubt or uncertainty about fully comprehending or achieving this reset


I need a dog's inspection

Expressing a need for a thorough inspection or assessment, likened to a dog's inspection

We got rows upon rows of other sides we knew

Referring to a collection of different perspectives or viewpoints that were once familiar

In the photography section

Referencing a section that captures frozen moments or memories, possibly in photos

The stopped paths will fix from a developer's view

Describing a process where halted or stagnant paths can be fixed or resolved


And once we saw the end is coming through

Upon realizing the impending end, discovering there's still a lot left to accomplish or address

It was revealed there is still much to do

Realizing there's much to be done regarding the intricacies of existence

About the ins and outs

Contemplating the details and complexities of one's visible life

Of the life you live on the surface

Not being accountable or responsible to anyone for the way one lives

You answer for nobody

Emphasizing the freedom from having to justify oneself to others

No, nobody

Reiterating the lack of accountability or need to answer to anyone
