Lyrics

I’m walking down the street

I am walking along the street.

Looking for some memories

I am searching for memories.

Of the spark I lost between of what it was and what it is

I'm seeking recollections of a lost spark between what something used to be and what it has become.

They say tomorrow’s a new day

People say that tomorrow brings a new day.

So why does nothing seem to change?

Despite this belief, nothing appears to change.

Fake promises remain of bringing back the golden age

False assurances persist about restoring a glorious past.

It’s like they…

It feels as if...


It’s like they’re watching every step that I take

It seems like someone is closely observing every action I take.

And you’re their zombie pets

And you (possibly referring to others) are like mindless followers under their control.

Pawns in their game

People are being used as mere pawns in someone else's scheme or plan.

You can’t control me

There's a declaration of resistance against being controlled by external forces.

No, you can’t read my mind

A statement asserting that others cannot comprehend one's thoughts.

Since I’m a different breed

Asserting belonging to a distinct or unconventional group.

Since I am a different kind

Reiteration of being part of a different and unique category.


I’m bleeding on my own in the bus stop

I'm bleeding emotionally or suffering alone at a bus stop.

Nervous staring at the clock

Feeling anxious while staring at the clock.

I know they’re watching

There's a belief that someone is observing.

I know they’re watching

Repetition of the feeling of being watched.

It’s getting late,

Time is passing, and there's a need to leave.

I have to go

Urging someone not to abandon or leave.

Baby, please, don’t leave me on my own

A plea not to be left alone.


It’s like they’re watching every step that I take

Similar to line 9, the sense of constant surveillance is reiterated.

And you’re their zombie pets

Continued reference to people being controlled and manipulated.

Pawns in their game

Repetition of the concept of individuals being used as pawns.

You can’t control me

Reassertion of resistance against external control.

No, you can’t read my mind

Emphasizing the privacy of one's thoughts.

Since I’m a different breed

Reiteration of being part of an unconventional group.

Since I am a different kind

Stressing being different from the norm.


I wish that you could seem me

A wish for someone to notice one's presence, possibly feeling invisible or ignored.

I’m right in front of you

Expressing a desire for acknowledgment while being physically present.

Asking for your mercy

Pleading for compassion or leniency from someone.

Hiding in your room

Seeking refuge or concealment in a private space.


It’s like they’re watching every step that I take

Reiteration of the feeling of constant surveillance.

And you’re their zombie pets

Continued reference to people being controlled and manipulated.

Pawns in their game

Repetition of the concept of individuals being used as pawns.

You can’t control me

Reassertion of resistance against external control.

No, you can’t read my mind

Emphasizing the privacy of one's thoughts.

Since I’m a different breed

Reiteration of being part of an unconventional group.

Since I am a different kind

Stressing being different from the norm.
