Lyrics
Mostly we repeat "We're tired"
Expressing exhaustion or weariness
Back and forth
Describing movement back and forth
As we come home in the dark
Returning home during nighttime
And e-mail, sorry for the late reply
Apologizing for delayed responses via email
Back and forth
Continuing the cycle of back-and-forth movement
My brain keeps getting away from me
Struggling to control thoughts or focus
To the point where when I close my eyes I see
Experiencing intrusive thoughts or imagery
The million, million plastic particles
Highlighting the immense pollution affecting the ocean
Covering the ocean floor
Visualizing the widespread presence of plastic waste
Floating back and forth
Emphasizing the repetitive motion of floating
Back and forth
Reiterating the cycle of back-and-forth movement
This is not the fall I was expecting
Expressing surprise or disappointment at the current situation not aligning with expectations
Warm winds
Contrasting the unexpected situation with warm weather
This is not the fall I was expecting
Reiterating surprise or disappointment at the current state of affairs
Warm winds
Reemphasizing the contrast between expectations and warm weather
It's too warm for October
Repetition of the line "It's too warm for October" to stress the unusual warmth during that month
It's too warm for October
-I agonize
Experiencing distress or anxiety
But I don't agonize enough
Feeling insufficient concern or distress despite facing issues
Keep seeing my grandchildren die
Experiencing emotional distress or trauma
But I can't seem to turn the lights off
Struggling to disconnect from distressing thoughts or situations
As I leave the room
Leaving a situation or environment, despite emotional difficulty
And I leave the room
-Believe me, baby, I leave the room
-This is not the fall I was expecting
Repetition of the previous theme of unexpectedness in the fall season
Warm winds
-This is not the fall I was expecting
-Warm winds
-It's too warm for October
Reiteration of the line "It's too warm for October" to emphasize the abnormal warmth
It's too warm for October
-It's too warm for October
-It's too warm for October
-It's not politics, it's sink or swim
Stating that the situation is not about politics but about survival (sink or swim metaphor)
It's not politics, it's sink or swim
-It's keeping our head above water
-It's not politics, it's sink or swim
Reiteration of the sink or swim metaphor and the importance of staying afloat or surviving
It's not politics, it's sink or swim
-It's keeping our head above
-Keeping our head above
-Keeping our head above water
-It's not politics, it's sink or swim
Continued emphasis on the need to survive or stay afloat in difficult circumstances
It's not politics, it's sink or swim
-It's keeping our head above
-Keeping our head above
-Keeping our head above water
