Inch Ahead of Your Time
Inch Ahead of Time: Unveiling the Poetic Rebellion
Lyrics
When they start shooting will you be there
Asking if you'll be present in times of conflict or trouble.
When they start marching will you clap them
Questioning if you'll support or applaud actions taken during conflicts.
It's like everything I've ever wanted, turns to rust time plays its part
Expressing disappointment that desires often fade with time's influence.
Your diary's a broken record
Your personal records or thoughts are repetitive and unchanging.
Full of love, loss and pain
The diary holds emotions of love, sorrow, and pain.
You write everything you've ever wanted, down before you lose again
Writing desires down before losing hope or facing defeat again.
Can you hear the sounds of the suburbs maybe
Noticing sounds or signals from suburban surroundings.
We could find a place where the ocean's breaking
Suggesting finding a serene place by the ocean's shore.
Will you answer questions when they beat you
Querying if you'll respond when faced with aggression or violence.
Or will you stand and stare into space
Questioning whether you'll act or remain passive in difficult situations.
You're an inch ahead of your time you're an accident waiting to happen
Describing someone as innovative but prone to mishaps or failure.
And you can't go home again, no you can't come back
Expressing that returning to a previous state or comfort is impossible.
Ask your father for a ride before he loses
Asking for a favor from your father before he loses an opportunity.
The keys to the sedan you know let's go cruising
Proposing going for a drive in a sedan for leisure.
And ask your mother for some cash we both could use it
Suggesting seeking financial help from your mother when needed.
This could be the only day, so don't come back
Implying that today might be the only chance, so make it count.
Don't come back
Warning against returning to a previous situation or place.
