Lyrics
What's your story send it over to me
Expressing a desire to hear the person's life story
I'll take a look and see what there is to see
Willingness to examine and understand the story
At least jot a few things down
Encouraging the person to jot down some details
Anything to let me know I'm in your head
Seeking any sign that the person is thinking about them
And not on the ground
Desire to be in the person's thoughts, not ignored
With the cigarette butts
Reference to discarded cigarette butts, possibly indicating past relationships
From the mouths of all those little sluts that want me
Mentions others who desire the speaker
I'm lying here with the negative thoughts running my brain
Admits to negative thoughts affecting the mind
Over again, look where I've been, feel me try, feel the sky
Reflecting on past experiences, expressing a sense of repetition
Feel that your able
Encouragement to feel empowered
To do what it is you need to when
Belief in the person's ability to do what is necessary
This city life is dragging
Expressing the burdensome nature of city life
This city life is dragging us down
Reiterating the negative impact of city life
Don't push me
Repeatedly expressing a desire not to be pushed
Don't push me
-Don't push me
-Anyway, well I can barely face the day
Difficulty facing the day and a sense of heaviness
Is it already a quarter to ten?
Noting the time and a reluctance to start the day
How can I drag my body from this bed again
Struggling to get out of bed due to emotional weight
When I feel so heavy
Feeling burdened and weighed down
From the weight of nothing
Attributing the heaviness to an intangible 'nothing'
It's not about you as I said
Clarifying that the emotional burden is not about the person
Now it's a quarter to two, another night run through
Noting the time again, suggesting the passage of time
Without connecting
Reference to a night without emotional connection
To anything
Feeling disconnected from everything
This city life is dragging us down
Reiteration of the negative impact of city life
I'm already so far away from where I need to be
Expressing a sense of being far from where one needs to be
I'm already so far away
-We move a mile a minute
Commenting on the fast-paced nature of life to stay afloat
Just to keep ourselves in it.
-Now I think we've come to far not to win it
Belief that they have come too far to give up
What is it?
Pondering the nature of their struggles
If I wasn't here all of this shit would just go on anyways
Acknowledging that life continues even without the speaker
If you weren't here
Speculating on the continuation of life without the person
Everything would just go on anyway
Highlighting the inevitability of life's persistence
That's what you learn
Reflecting on the lesson of enduring despite challenges
Why do you stay
Pondering the reasons for staying despite the hardships
When this city life is dragging us down
Reiterating the negative impact of city life
