Lyrics
Once inside the door I check my face in the mirror,
Reflecting on appearance upon entering, a moment of self-assessment.
As I look past this lonely minute
Contemplating a challenging period, looking beyond a lonely moment.
Was this the ride worth waiting for
Questioning the value of the journey taken, wondering if it was worthwhile.
I'm scared to death that now I've missed it
Expressing fear of missing out, a sense of anxiety about potential opportunities lost.
But she was not the only stone, skipped across this gravel road
Acknowledging that there were other experiences and relationships along the way.
Leading down the path of loneliness
Describing a path marked by loneliness and solitude.
So I'll fly from this hate, pray my soul the lord will take me
Expressing a desire to escape from negativity and seeking spiritual solace.
To a place through time and indifference
Hoping for a journey through time and apathy to a better place.
I want to know how do you feel
Seeking to understand the emotions of another person.
I want to know if this was real
Inquiring about the authenticity of a shared experience.
Then tell me what would you say
Prompting the other person to articulate their thoughts.
If you can make this pain go away
Expressing a desire for relief from emotional pain.
She plans her future looking bright ahead
Describing someone making optimistic plans for the future.
Leaves me in the past.
Feeling left behind as the other person moves forward.
I can't stand to hang out with my codependent friends
Expressing discomfort with dependent relationships.
My patience fading fast
Impatience with codependent friends and a growing sense of frustration.
But every sign and every song is telling me I don't belong,
Noticing societal cues indicating a sense of not fitting in.
But it's O.K. to feel scared
Accepting fear as a valid emotion in the face of challenges.
Cause one day soon I'll find myself and realize that no one else
Anticipating self-discovery and independence, recognizing personal worth.
Will make me feel stupid!
Acknowledging that self-worth isn't dependent on others' opinions.
There's this old man down in Fell's Point,
Introducing an old man character in Fell's Point.
Always hanging around
Describing the persistent presence of the old man.
Telling me, "Son, the pendulum swings both ways
Quoting the old man's advice on life's ups and downs.
But for you, It'll always swing down!"
Suggesting a pessimistic outlook for the listener, with a consistent downward swing.
