Lyrics

Yesterdays were all the same

Reflecting on the monotony of past experiences

Independent, where were you

Questioning the absence or lack of support from someone independent

Nothing's changed, it's not a phase

Emphasizing the persistence of the current situation, not just a temporary phase

Or two

Suggesting that the situation is not a brief occurrence


Lakeside playing down on the docks, like a painting, skipping rocks

Depicting a peaceful scene by the lakeside, contrasting with the internal turmoil

Killing time, awaiting nothing to be found

Passing time with a sense of purposelessness, waiting for something meaningful

No one to see, no one to believe in me

Feeling isolated with no one to witness or believe in the speaker

Like a suspect walking free, anxiety is filling me I'm through

Expressing anxiety and a sense of being done or fed up

So where the fuck were you?

Raising a direct question about someone's absence or lack of involvement


You said you'd work to make things right

Recalling a promise to fix things and make them right

You said that I wont have to worry

Reiterating the assurance that the speaker won't have to worry

you said you'd stay with me, honestly

Recalling a commitment to stay together honestly


Now I know your words don't mean a thing

Realizing that the words spoken by the person hold no real meaning or sincerity

Killing time, awaiting, nothing to be found

Continuing to pass time without finding any purpose or meaning

Nowhere to be, nothing to instill in me

Feeling directionless with nothing substantial to believe in

That I'm a part of humanity, the irony is splitting me in 2

Expressing a disconnect from humanity and feeling torn by irony

It's not my fault, that it is here I stand

Asserting that the current situation is not the speaker's fault, but acknowledging its existence

It's not your fault, that it is here I stand

Acknowledging that the situation is not the other person's fault either
