Elevator
Unprepared Revelations: A Journey of Lost Connections
Lyrics
The way that I felt when I saw their face
The intense emotions I experienced upon seeing their face.
In the back of the L, the red line CTA
While on the red line CTA (Chicago Transit Authority) train.
I was like
Expressing surprise or realization.
Oh shit, cause I was wholly unprepared then
Realizing I was not prepared for what was about to happen.
To face the matter at hand
Facing the current situation or challenge.
And I’ll be in the back of the phonebook
Being metaphorically in an obscure or overlooked position.
You see, I’m a loser who can’t help
Acknowledging personal shortcomings as a loser.
But look your way, because today
Unable to resist looking at you today.
I’m a loose cannon at my end
Feeling unpredictable and potentially uncontrollable.
Into the crowd
Entering a crowd, possibly metaphorically disappearing.
I disappeared in space
Physically or emotionally vanishing into space.
And the doors closed off
Encountering closed doors and a racing heart.
my heart began to race, I was like
Expressing a state of heightened emotion.
I’ll bet that I was wholly unprepared then
Reiterating a lack of preparation for a situation.
To face the matter at hand
Facing a challenging circumstance.
And I’ll be in the back of the phonebook
Being metaphorically in an obscure or overlooked position (repeated).
You see, I’m a loser who can’t help
Acknowledging personal shortcomings as a loser (repeated).
But look your way, because today
Unable to resist looking at you today (repeated).
I’m a loose cannon at my end
Feeling unpredictable and potentially uncontrollable (repeated).
I know i’m surely wasted
Acknowledging a sense of being wasted or not utilized effectively.
These are my reservations
Expressing reservations or doubts.
Laid out on a page for all to see
Making personal reservations visible to others.
You caught the elevator
Taking an elevator as a metaphorical action.
I walked home to catch the neighbors
Choosing a different path than the one taken by others.
Still outside they wave hello to me.
Neighbors outside acknowledging or greeting despite differences.
And I’ll be in the back of the phonebook
Being metaphorically in an obscure or overlooked position (repeated).
You see, I’m a loser who can’t help
Acknowledging personal shortcomings as a loser (repeated).
But look your way, because today
Unable to resist looking at you today (repeated).
I’m a loose cannon at my end
Feeling unpredictable and potentially uncontrollable (repeated).
