Lyrics
The host of the show comes down
The main presenter of the show descends.
To collapse on the ground
He collapses onto the ground.
And the crime scene revisits me
The scene of a crime replays in the speaker's mind.
This body shut down in Bordeaux
A person's body shuts down in Bordeaux.
And the shores of gold coast on the balcony
On the balcony overlooking the gold coast, the speaker contemplates.
I search for sleep
The speaker searches for sleep.
The future has fallen short
The future falls short of expectations.
When the sun sets north
Disappointment arises when the sun sets in the north.
And the clouds fall from the mirrored walls
Clouds descend from mirrored walls, symbolizing disillusionment.
Words speak and choose
Words are spoken, choices made, making sense or leading to loss.
Make sense and lose
The challenge to make sense of the narrative is constant.
Capsize the tall tale, but always fail
The attempt to overturn a fabricated story fails consistently.
Words speak and choose, make sense and lose
Continued struggle with words and their consequences.
Forfeit the tall tale, I always will
The surrender to a fabricated story is inevitable.
The host had his mouth sewn shut
The presenter's mouth is sewn shut in the name of trust.
All in the name of trust
A sacrifice made for trust, implying silence.
When the blood goes thin, he's given in
As the blood thins, surrender becomes evident.
You can spare us the formal toast
A plea to skip formalities, as they hold no significance.
The drunken anecdotes
Drunken stories and anecdotes become repetitive.
From this day on, goes on and on,
The monotonous cycle of anecdotes persists endlessly.
You know when he falls apart
The moment of breakdown is recognized.
He listens in the dark to records turn
In moments of despair, he listens to records in the dark, refusing to learn.
I'll never learn
The speaker acknowledges a lack of personal growth.
To set it down
A call to relinquish the burden, but the struggle to do so remains.
You'll set it down
A repetition emphasizing the difficulty of letting go.
You'll set it down
The challenge to release persists.
