Poetic Reflections on Time and Change by The Small Intestines
Lyrics
Hey, I just saw
Observation of a change in the person addressed.
You got so shy, you got so tall
Noticing the person's increased height and reserved demeanor.
And so poetic
Commenting on the perceived eloquence or artistic expression of the individual.
Jotting down the lines
Noting the act of writing, possibly poetry or thoughts.
Throw them on the fire
Suggesting a disregard for the written words by burning them.
And then forgetting
Describing the act of forgetting after creating.
Hey, I got told
Receiving information about the person becoming wiser but aging.
You got wise but you got old
Highlighting a sense of disappointment or pity in the person's current state.
And so pathetic
Expressing a negative judgment on the current situation or choices.
Now you're living straight
Observing a shift to a more conventional or mainstream lifestyle.
Eating from a plate
Indicating a settled life with regular meals.
And saving pennies
Noting frugality or an emphasis on saving money.
Hey, I just saw
Repetition of the initial observation, reinforcing the changes noticed.
You got so shy, you got so tall
Reiteration of increased shyness and height in the person.
And so poetic
Restating the perceived poetic nature of the person.
Jotting down the lines
Repeating the act of jotting down lines, emphasizing the creative aspect.
Throw them on the fire
Emphasizing the ephemeral nature of creation by burning it.
And then forgetting
Reiterating the tendency to forget after creating.
Hey, I got told
Receiving confirmation of the person's increased wisdom and aging.
You got wise but you got old
Reaffirming a sense of disappointment or pity in the person's current state.
And so pathetic
Reiterating a negative judgment on the current situation or choices.
Now you're living straight
Repeating the observation of a shift to a more conventional lifestyle.
Eating from a plate
Reiterating a settled life with regular meals.
And saving pennies
Reiterating frugality or an emphasis on saving money.
Now you're living straight
Reiterating the description of a settled life with regular meals.
Eating from a plate
Reiterating the act of eating from a plate.
And saving pennies
Reiterating the emphasis on saving pennies, reinforcing the theme of frugality.
