Lyrics
And can you give me a second
Asking for a brief moment of attention
Just while you powder your nose
Reference to drug use (powdering nose)
Tell me how you are wiser
Questioning wisdom and experience
How the grass it grows
Metaphor for life and its growth
In your favour
Success or advantage in life
You savour all those things that you own
Enjoying possessions and achievements
And you can't help looking backwards
Nostalgia for the past
'Cause it keeps you warm
Reflection providing comfort
In the night and you fight
Struggling in the night, battling emotions
Are you still fighting the feeling?
Questioning if the fight persists
Of all those teenage scars
Remnants of emotional scars from youth
That show no signs of healing
Not recovering from past wounds
And I'm warning, you're falling, babe
Warning of personal decline
Apart at the core
Falling apart at the fundamental level
All the songs that you were singing
Loss of joy in previously enjoyed activities
You're not singing no more
Losing connection with one's passions
All the things that you were trying
Attempting things, but repeating failed attempts
But you've tried them before
Repeating past mistakes despite awareness
And you'll try them, try them
Continued efforts despite previous failures
And you'll try them some more
Persistent repetition of actions
And is there enough hands on the top deck
Questioning if there is enough support
To spare your worried mind from heartbreak?
Asking if support can prevent heartbreak
Is there enough hands on the clock just to stay with me, me?
Wondering if time is sufficient to stay together
Is there enough lines on the table
Questioning if there are enough resources
Ah, just to say that you are able?
Asking if one is capable and willing
Is there is enough songs on the song-sheet to sing with me?
Considering if there are enough shared experiences
And can you give me a second
Requesting attention again
Just while I reap what I smoke?
While dealing with consequences of actions
While I break through the barricades
Breaking through obstacles to achieve happiness
Of these dopamine hopes
Pursuing pleasure from dopamine-related experiences
And all them tired old souls
Reference to people who want material success
Who want you rich but still broke
Desire for wealth despite personal struggles
Let's smoke dope in the morning
Engaging in recreational drug use in the morning
By the old school road
By a familiar location with memories
Right out by the old school road
Reiteration of the familiar location
Right out by the old school road
(No specific line)
And my mind on the money
Mind focused on financial success
But my heart stays here at home
But emotional connection remains at home
Is there enough hands on the top deck
Repetition of the question about support
To spare your worried mind from heartbreak?
Asking if support can prevent heartbreak
Is there enough hands on the clock just to stay with me, me?
Time as a factor in maintaining a relationship
Is there enough lines on the table
Ensuring the ability to face challenges
To say that you are able?
Asking if there are enough resources for success
Is there is enough songs on the song-sheet
Ensuring enough shared experiences for connection
Is there is enough songs on the song-sheet
Repetition for emphasis on shared experiences
Is there is enough songs on the song-sheet to sing with me?
(No specific line)
