The Closest Hole in Space
Escaping the Mundane: The Closest Hole in Space
Lyrics
Well I walk out the front door and I feel sick
The speaker feels physically unwell when stepping outside.
Everybody is so full of shit and even the postman is a dick
Expresses disdain for people, including the postman, feeling they're insincere.
I try to hide away from them and the world they've made
The speaker wants to avoid the constructed societal norms and its problems.
But it's so hard these days when it keeps pulling me in
Despite the desire to escape, societal pressures make it challenging.
So I sit at home and read about time travel
Escaping mentally by reading about time travel as a way out.
Cause there's got to be some way out of here
Expresses a longing for escape from the current situation.
Fuck this place I'm getting out, walking to the edge of town
Expresses frustration and determination to leave the town.
Drop me at the closest hole in space
Desires to be taken to a distant, unknown place.
And I'll look out the back window as we drive
Reflects on leaving the city life behind, saying goodbye.
And say my last goodbyes to the horrible city life
Expresses boredom and disdain for the mundane aspects of life.
To the boring people, their boring world, their boring shit
Disparages the ordinary nature of people and their lives.
I'd love to help
Wishes to assist but feels it's too late to change humanity's fate.
But it's just too late for the human race
Expresses a pessimistic view of the future of humanity.
So I lie in bed and dream about Sigourney Weaver
Escaping reality by dreaming about a heroic figure (Sigourney Weaver).
And our alien killing planet hopping escapade
Imagines a fantastical scenario involving adventurous escapades.
Her and I we fuck shit up, get ice cream when the day is done
Envisions a thrilling and rebellious partnership.
I wish I could stay asleep for days
Desires prolonged unconsciousness to avoid reality.
Well I wish I could stay asleep for days
Reiterates the desire for extended periods of sleep to escape.
Things are better when I'm not awake
Believes life is more tolerable when not conscious.
This world it wasn't meant for me
Feels incompatible with the existing world and its norms.
Can you pass me more amphetamines
Requests drugs to numb the experience of reality.
And drop me at the closest hole in space
Repeats the desire to be taken away to an unknown place, emphasizing escapism.
