City Bus
Navigating the Shadows: The Intriguing Depths of 'City Bus'
Lyrics
Have you ever been addicted to sleep
Reflects on being excessively drawn to sleep.
Less an addiction, but an infatuation
Describes the attraction to sleep more as a fascination than a true addiction.
An escape, a blanket
Sleep is portrayed as a means of escape or comfort.
Stop the bleeding, a tourniquet
Using sleep metaphorically as a way to stop emotional pain or distress.
Why be sober, Why be awake
Rhetorical questioning the purpose of staying sober or awake.
It's so much easier To pass than fake
Implies pretending or going through the motions is simpler than dealing with reality.
Passively suicidal is still suicidal
Suggests a mindset where one is indirectly or subconsciously self-destructive.
But in most eyes You're still alive
Despite inner struggles, outward appearance may not indicate distress.
So in most eyes, everything is fine
Highlights the facade of normalcy despite internal turmoil.
Yeah everything is
Reiterates the facade of everything being fine.
Fine
Emphasizes the word "Fine" as a lingering question or doubt.
Have you ever thought that it might be fun
Asks if one has ever considered the thrill in contemplating a drastic, dangerous action.
To step in front of a city bus
The notion of stepping in front of a city bus is presented as an extreme, risky thought.
But of course It's just a fantasy
Acknowledges that such thoughts remain in the realm of imagination and not reality.
It would never happen, happen to me
Expresses disbelief or detachment from the possibility of such an event happening personally.
Passively suicidal is still suicidal
Repeats the idea of indirect self-destructive tendencies.
Cause in most eyes You're still alive
Reiterates the contrast between inner struggles and external appearances.
So in most eyes Everything is fine
Restates the theme of concealing turmoil beneath a seemingly normal exterior.
Yeah everything is
Reaffirms the facade of everything being fine despite underlying issues.
