Lyrics
The doors are seldom open
The entrance is rarely accessible.
The air tastes like a bag of shrouds
The atmosphere is unpleasant, reminiscent of a bundle of burial cloths.
Underfoot adhesive
The ground is sticky.
Four days free of sleep, unbowed
Having gone without sleep for four days but still undefeated.
The throb is on
An intense sensation or beat begins.
and the fear is gone
Fear dissipates.
the band is playing your song
A musical band is performing the listener's preferred song.
The greyhair throng
An older crowd, possibly reflecting experience, is present.
they sing along
They join in singing.
Stand where the wall can hold you
Stay close to the protective wall.
Can't come home from the Hypnodrome
Leaving the place called the Hypnodrome is challenging.
Nostalgia guy, swingin' high
A person characterized by nostalgia, swinging high.
Stands alone at the Hypnodrome
Stands isolated at the Hypnodrome.
Hides in cadaver disguise
Concealed in an outfit resembling a corpse.
The bar's refusing service
The bar declines to serve.
so lie down on that brace of chairs
Lie down on a pair of chairs.
The throb goes on
The intense sensation continues.
but the guilt's too strong
Feelings of guilt are overwhelming despite the ongoing beat.
denied and shunned
Rejected and avoided due to one's actions.
cos of what you've done
Consequences of past deeds.
The living's freeform from now on
Life becomes unrestricted and unstructured.
The band keeps playing your song
The band persistently plays the listener's song.
Brace of chairs collapsing
A pair of chairs collapses.
Perfect evening comes up short
An anticipated enjoyable moment falls short.
Won't come home from the Hypnodrome
Returning from the Hypnodrome is not an option.
Nostalgia guy, tell them goodbye
The nostalgic individual bids farewell.
Fade alone in the Hypnodrome
Fades away in solitude within the Hypnodrome.
Up there where the mills used to grind
In a place reminiscent of where industrial mills used to operate.
Fade alone in the Hypnodrome
Fades away alone within the Hypnodrome.
where the punk rock oldies unwind
Where the punk rock classics are enjoyed by the older crowd.
