Dull Boy
Escape the Concrete: The Growlers' Dull Boy Unveiled
Lyrics
Lost in the valley of malls
Feeling lost in the consumer-driven culture represented by malls.
The kids are all eating themselves
Observing a self-destructive behavior among the younger generation.
Living on capsules and balls
Depicting a society dependent on pills and drugs for escape or pleasure.
Thinking that there's nowhere else at all
Believing there's no alternative or escape from the current state.
Flicking a match in the sky
Metaphorically igniting a small rebellion or change.
Turning my back on my own
Turning away from personal issues or problems.
Finally the bottle's bone dry
Having exhausted all resources, especially referring to alcohol.
With a message inside
Finding a message within oneself, possibly indicating departure.
That says that I'm gone
Expressing the decision to leave or move on.
I am a dull boy with a dead dream
Describing oneself as uninteresting with unfulfilled dreams.
Searching for a pulse in any given scene
Seeking meaning or purpose in various experiences.
This city's shrinking down
Feeling confined as the city becomes smaller, possibly suffocating.
I think it's time to leave this town
Deciding it's time to leave the current environment.
Pulling out while there's still time
Choosing to depart before it's too late.
Littered all my memories behind
Leaving a trail of one's past experiences and memories.
The statues win so let them have it
Suggesting acceptance of societal norms even if they are flawed.
Let them keep their squeaky clean
Allowing those who conform to maintain their sanitized image.
Whatever was now is in ashes
Acknowledging the destruction of the past, making room for conformity.
There isn't anymore room here for me
Expressing a lack of space or acceptance in the current societal structure.
Cause I'm a dull boy with a dead dream
Reiterating a sense of monotony with unfulfilled aspirations.
Searching for a pulse in any given scene
Continuing the search for purpose in different environments.
This city's shrinking down
Repeating the feeling of confinement as the city contracts.
I think it's time to leave this town
Affirming the decision to leave the current place of residence.
Pulling out while there's still time
Emphasizing the need to depart before it's too late.
Littered all my memories behind
Leaving memories and experiences behind as one moves forward.
This city's shrinking down
Reiterating the sense of the city shrinking, urging departure.
I think it's time to leave this town
Affirming the decision to leave the current place of residence.
Pulling out while there's still time
Emphasizing the need to depart before it's too late.
Littered all my memories behind
Leaving memories and experiences behind as one moves forward.
