Lyrics

I'm trying to walk up the stairs

Expressing the effort to progress or improve in life.

My hands are snatching at the slivers of light

Describing a struggle to grasp opportunities or positivity.

I'm sticking to the steps

Sticking to a path or commitment despite challenges.

Each one a release from the place below

Each step provides relief from a difficult situation below.

I'm on a mission

Driven by a purpose or goal.

On the hunt for clean, clear vapour skies

Seeking clarity and purity in one's surroundings.

'Cause I'm choking on my own, I need some air

Feeling suffocated, yearning for freedom or fresh air.


The door slams behind me

Leaving behind a noisy or artificial environment.

Begging you to scrape off your disco paint

Asking someone to reveal their true self, removing pretense.

It's open to the night

Opportunity or escape is available.

And I'm as sick as a hospital and empty factories

Feeling physically and emotionally drained, surrounded by emptiness.

You look so tiny, so very unimportant

Observing someone as insignificant or small.

I'm nearly there, and everything feels fine

Approaching a positive outcome or destination.


Don't wanna look behind me

Avoiding reflection on the past.

Don't wanna look beneath me

Avoiding consideration of what's beneath or below.

Every movement, every vibration

Every action and energy in life is significant.

Every movement, every vibration

Reiterating the importance of actions and energies.


High above piss city

Being above a negative or undesirable situation.

Watch the pigs-ear people, all dead in their droves

Observing people suffering or failing in large numbers.

Some shuffle in silence

Some endure hardship quietly.

Some gorge sucking on silicone

Some indulge in superficial or artificial pleasures.

I've got the urge to jump

Feeling the temptation to escape or take a risk.

Watch my life whizz by, fast forward flash

Life passing by quickly, like a fast-forwarded film.

But hold on boy, I feel alive

Despite challenges, feeling a sense of vitality or being alive.


Don't wanna look behind me

Avoiding dwelling on past experiences.

Don't wanna look beneath me

Avoiding contemplating what lies beneath or below.

Every movement, every vibration

Highlighting the importance of every action and vibration in life.

Every movement, every vibration

Emphasizing the significance of every movement and energy.


Don't wanna look behind me

Continuing to avoid looking back or down.

Don't wanna look beneath me

Persisting in avoiding contemplation of what's beneath.

Every movement, every vibration

Reiterating the importance of every action and vibration in life.

Every movement, every vibration

Affirming the significance of every movement and energy.


Don't wanna look behind me

Maintaining the avoidance of looking back or down.

Don't wanna look beneath me

Continuing to avoid contemplating what lies beneath.

Every movement, every vibration

Stressing the importance of every action and vibration in life.

Every movement, every vibration

Emphasizing the significance of every movement and energy.
