Navigating Love's Labyrinth: Status, Looks, and Revolution
Lyrics
He was drawn-out in the dark up in Penetration Park
He was lingering in the dark at Penetration Park.
He says he's got your medication
He claims to have the drugs you need.
She was sitting on the edges of his vision trying to start a revolution
She was on the periphery of his attention, attempting to initiate a rebellion.
But he's done with all the parties, he's covered in contusions
He's done with partying, marked by injuries.
Your life leaves life lines, your rug leaves bright bruises
Life experiences leave traces, and his rug shows signs of struggle.
She said she was cruising
She claimed to be casually strolling.
But she came back all proud and out of focus with a cool car
She returned proud and blurry after a drive in a stylish car, intoxicated and destructive.
Drank and broke us
Intoxicated, she drank and caused trouble.
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
Guys are attracted by physical appearance, while girls are drawn to social status.
There are so many nights when this is just how it happens
Many nights unfold in this predictable pattern.
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
Physical looks attract guys, while girls are interested in social standing.
He was dreadlocked in the dorms in the Colorado corn
He had dreadlocks in the dorms amidst Colorado's cornfields.
He says he's got your vegetation
He claims to have your plant life.
She was sitting on the edge of the bed smoking trying to reach emancipation
She sat on the bed smoking, aspiring for freedom.
And he's done with DVDs, he's fully entertained
He's done with DVDs, fully engrossed, cleaning up the aftermath.
He's bleaching out the blood stains, he's got diamonds in the drain
He's removing bloodstains and has valuable possessions in the drain.
She said that she was coming but she mostly made hard, fast noises
She claimed she was coming but mostly made intense, rapid sounds.
It kinda sounded like The Locust
The sounds resembled The Locust, a band known for chaotic music.
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
Physical appearance attracts guys, while girls are drawn to social status.
There are so many nights where this is just how it happens
This pattern repeats on many nights.
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
Guys are attracted by looks, girls by social status.
It was song number three on John's last CD
A reference to a song on John's CD, expressing determination to survive the year.
"Gonna make it through this year, if it kills me"
A quote from the song, emphasizing the struggle to make it through the year.
And it almost killed me
Reflecting on the difficulty faced, almost leading to defeat.
And song number four on that first D4
A reference to another song, expressing a desire for scars without the actual warfare.
You want the scars but you don't want the war
Wanting the marks of battle without experiencing the hardships, a hardcore sentiment.
That's just hardcore
Hardcore attitude is described.
These kids are clever to the core
The youth mentioned are exceptionally intelligent.
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
Guys are attracted by physical appearance, while girls are drawn to social status.
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
Reiteration of the theme that repeats throughout.
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
Reiteration of the pattern of attraction.
