Lyrics

Seen the girl with the smile on her face

Observing a girl with a smiling face

Telling me to count my blessings like I count my age

She advises to appreciate blessings like counting age

She'd help herself, said she got nothing to lose

She claims to have nothing to lose and is self-sufficient

She fed me the line and I delivered the news

She provided a statement, and the speaker shared the news


Though when I went home I could see nothing was new

Returning home reveals nothing has changed

Yellow grass around a white trim house like a zoo

Describing a suburban scene with yellow grass and a white-trimmed house

And every day, I'd put a hole in the cage

Every day, the speaker damages the metaphorical cage

She fed me the line and put me back in my place

She repeats the statement, reasserting control


Been having dreams where the girls line up side to side

Experiencing dreams where girls affirm positivity

Wearing signs saying "Everything Will Be Alright"

Girls display signs proclaiming "Everything Will Be Alright"

And I don't believe everything that I read

The speaker is skeptical about everything they read

But free advice never looked so good to me

Despite skepticism, free advice seems appealing


Yeah I been having twisted visions of a thing divine

Having unusual visions of a divine nature

Trapped inside another person waiting for a sign

Feeling trapped in another person, awaiting a sign

A windowpane into a different machine

Reference to a windowpane into a different existence

With the clean clean glass far as you can see

Describing a clear view through a clean glass


I'm thinking about the goddess in the suburbs

Contemplating a goddess figure in the suburbs

And all the things she's gonna say

Anticipating the things she might say

When she comes knocking at my door

Expecting her arrival at the speaker's door


Now, back in Boston, I was known as the Trusted Kid

In Boston, the speaker was known as the Trusted Kid

Though no one ever seemed to know exactly what I did

Despite the reputation, people were unsure about the speaker's actions

Now I return to see a hole in the cage

Returning to find a metaphorical cage with a hole

She fed me the line and put me back in my place

She repeats the statement, reaffirming control


I been practicin' all different types of alchemy

Engaging in various forms of alchemy as a practice

Hoping one day to make one that might look just like me

Hoping to create something resembling the speaker

Yeah, and the girl I see she's smilin still

Observing a smiling girl in visions

She feeds me the line 'cause I'm the one who will

She repeats the statement, emphasizing the speaker's role


I been drinkin all the...crystal cola

Consuming crystal cola, possibly as a metaphor for experiences

All the things I couldn't say

Expressing things previously unsaid

When I came knocking at her door

Recalling a past interaction at her door
