Lyrics
Picking up the tires from the side of the road
Picking up discarded tires from the side of the road
Gonna push back the coming tide
Planning to resist or confront an approaching challenge
Lay them in the harbour in symmetrical rows
Arranging the tires neatly in the harbor
Disappear when the water is high
Disappearing when faced with adversity, possibly metaphorical
Sitting and regretting now my sneakers are soaked
Reflecting on regrets while shoes are wet
So they're drying in the sun outside
Drying soaked sneakers in the sun
It's not what I intended when I woke up the house
Unintentionally causing a disturbance when waking up
I was screaming, "We're all gonna die"
Expressing fear or anxiety, possibly exaggerated
And now we're all in late trains
People collectively taking late trains
Racing the motorway
Racing on the motorway, urgency implied
Getting rhyme over reason
Choosing rhymes over reason, possibly embracing chaos
It's a sinister silly season
Describing a period of unsettling and absurd events
But maybe we can end up meaning a real thing
Suggesting the possibility of finding genuine meaning in chaos
Picking up the tires from the side of the road
Repeating the action of picking up discarded tires
Gonna push back the coming tide
Reiterating the intent to resist the impending challenge
Laying down beside them like I'm in on the joke
Lying down beside the tires, perhaps embracing the challenge
Wake me up when the world is fried
Waiting for a significant event or change
And you're sorry, I see it when you open your mouth
Observing remorse or apology when someone speaks
You've got one hand over your heart while you're holding me down
Perceiving a contradiction in actions, a mix of sincerity and restraint
Oh I, I want to hope but if that's not allowed
Expressing a desire for hope, but uncertain if it's allowed
I guess I'll go out instead
Considering alternative actions due to restrictions on hope
Now we're all in relay
Everyone participating in a relay, a shared experience
We all admit it's strange
Acknowledging and accepting the strangeness of the situation
Getting rhyme over reason
Choosing rhymes over reason again
It's a sinister silly season
Reiterating the sinister and absurd nature of the season
But maybe we can end up meaning a real thing
Expressing optimism about finding genuine meaning amidst chaos
Getting rhyme over reason
Continuing the theme of prioritizing rhymes over reason
It's a sinister silly season
Emphasizing the sinister and absurd nature of the season
But maybe we can end up meaning
Repeating the hope for discovering genuine meaning
End up meaning
Repeating the idea of ending up with genuine meaning
End up meaning a real thing
Reiterating the hope for discovering a real thing
Picking up the tires from the side of the road
Repeating the action of picking up discarded tires
Gonna push back the coming tide
Reiterating the intent to resist the impending challenge
Picking up the tires from the side of the road
Repeating the action of picking up discarded tires
Gonna push back the coming tide
Reiterating the intent to resist the impending challenge
