Lyrics
I've done myself an impossible crime
I've committed a seemingly impossible act or mistake.
Had to paint myself a hole
I had to create a metaphorical opening or escape for myself.
And fall inside
I willingly fell into this self-created situation.
If it's far enough in sight and rhyme
If the situation is clear and follows a pattern, I gain certain privileges.
I get to wear another dress
I can adopt different roles or personas and experience time passing.
And count in time
Counting time, possibly reflecting on the consequences of actions.
Oh, won't you do me the favor, man
Asking for a favor from someone with a generous and open-minded attitude.
Of a giving mind
Requesting a mindset of giving or generosity.
A polymorphing opinion here
Mentioning the fluidity of opinions and perspectives.
And your vague outline
Referring to a vague or unclear identity.
Find myself another burning gate
Discovering another challenging situation or obstacle.
A pretty face, a vague idea I can't relate
Encountering an attractive but undefined concept that is hard to understand.
And this is get what you get for pulling pins
Expressing consequences for removing support or stability.
Out of the hole
Inside the created problem, removing elements that were holding it together.
Inside the hole you're in
Describing the challenging environment one is stuck in.
It's like I'm perched on the handle bars
Feeling precarious, like being on a blind journey without clear guidance.
Of a blind man's bike
Using a metaphor of a blind man's bike to emphasize the lack of direction.
No straws to grab, just the rushing wind
No easy solutions, just the intense experience of uncertainty.
On the rolling mind
The thoughts are in constant motion, like a rolling mind.
They want you to decide
The pressure to make a decision in a difficult situation.
Eventually, it happens
Eventually, a decision or change will occur.
Some gather on one side
People align themselves with different perspectives or sides.
With all their pearly snapping
Describing a collective action with a distinctive sound.
They close the basement door
Shutting out something significant, possibly hiding truths.
It sets our teeth to chatter
Creating tension and unease, represented by chattering teeth.
You never saw it before
An event or revelation that was previously unnoticed.
But now that hardly matters
Previous ignorance is no longer relevant or important.
You're old enough, boy
Addressing someone who has reached a certain age and experience.
Too many summers you've enjoyed
Reflecting on the accumulation of past experiences.
So spin the wheel
Taking a chance or making a bold move.
We'll set you up with some odd convictions
Developing unique and unconventional beliefs or convictions.
Because you're finally golden, boy
Acknowledging maturity or a state of being esteemed.
It's like I'm perched on the handle bars
Reiterating the feeling of being on an uncertain journey.
Of a blind man's bike
Reinforcing the lack of clear solutions or guidance.
No straws to grab, just the rushing wind
Emphasizing the unpredictable and chaotic nature of thoughts.
On the rolling mind
Continuing the metaphor of a mind in constant motion.
