Lyrics
I wish that we had met when I was alive
The desire to have met the person during a livelier period in the speaker's life.
I could have introduced you to my insignificant jive
The speaker's wish to share their less significant but characteristic behavior.
My ineffectual, sidewinding rhetoric, mind games and elephants
Reference to ineffective communication, complicated thoughts, and hidden issues.
Cleverly hidden throughout my residence
Metaphorical references to issues or problems concealed within the speaker's life.
Look, there goes one now, oh we're in luck, yeah
Spotting an issue or problem metaphorically represented as an elephant.
It's got 4 legs and a trunk and it's ugly as fuck
Realization that the issue is actually part of the speaker, represented as an ugly creature.
Oh wait that's me, I guess it's been a while since I've seen
The speaker recognizes their own unpleasant characteristics.
A nasty sack of crap and worms that's acting like a pachyderm
Comparing oneself to an unpleasant entity, indicating self-deprecation.
It's obscene the way I pretend I don't forget
The speaker acknowledges their tendency to pretend they don't forget things.
But I can't even make it home without using the GPS
Dependence on technology, specifically GPS, to navigate familiar places.
I'm obsessed with finding the best way to getting stressed out
Obsession with finding ways to induce stress or tension.
And so off to bed I go
Transition to bedtime.
And I don't want any dreams unless
The desire for dreams devoid of meaning or significance.
They don't mean anything, and I embrace entropy
Embracing disorder or chaos.
I bet you'll never guess the reason I wake
Waking up due to excessive perspiration and engaging in intimacy until exhaustion.
Soaked in perspiration, spooning fools 'til they break
Struggling to articulate emotions or experiences.
It's a pain in the ass the way I choose to unpack these fucking feelings
Difficulty in expressing emotions while waiting for sleep.
While I'm sitting here just waiting for the lights to go off
Anticipating sleep but struggling with intrusive thoughts.
Oh they're in love, yeah I suspect, with my compulsive overeating
Belief that others are infatuated with the speaker's overeating habits.
And the way I project my thoughts inside of their heads
Projection of thoughts onto others and causing distress because of it.
Now it's causing distress
Recognizing the distress caused by projecting thoughts onto others.
Oh my god, it's the best
Paradoxical enjoyment of distress.
So off to bed we go
Transition to bedtime.
And we don't want any dreams Unless
The desire for dreams devoid of meaning or significance (repeated).
They don't mean anything, and the truth's our enemy
Embracing truthlessness as a defense mechanism.
I came here to poke an angel in the eye, the eye
A figurative desire to disrupt something pure or heavenly.
I'll be out before I know the reason why, oh why
Expectation of leaving before understanding the consequences of actions.
Not a lot of passion left inside my heart my heart
Sense of diminished passion or enthusiasm in life.
Find me on my knees now, groping in the dark the dark
Feeling lost and desperate, symbolized by being on one's knees in darkness.
I was once a strain to my big fucking brain, my brain
Transition from intellectual strain to mental fatigue.
It now turns to mush like donuts in the rain, the rain
Metaphor comparing mental deterioration to mushy donuts in the rain.
Seriously though, I don't think I woke up, woke up
Doubt about the reality or awakening from a past event.
From the little nap I took in ninety one
Suggesting a lack of consciousness or awareness since 1991.
