Tunnel Vision
Navigating Shadows: Tokyo Police Club's Tunnel Vision
Lyrics
Going to the sweet store tell me what you want
Expressing a willingness to fulfill a desire or craving by going to a store.
I'll pick us up some liquor and a pack of Parliaments alright
Planning to buy alcohol and cigarettes, indicating a casual and carefree attitude.
Twenty-four seven and the lights stay on
Highlighting a constant state of activity or availability, suggesting a bustling lifestyle.
You like a lot of people and I'll make a good drunk alright
Acknowledging the person's enjoyment of socializing while under the influence.
But I got the tunnel vision, can't see the light
Describing a focused mindset that excludes peripheral distractions, possibly related to personal goals.
I just want to make it through one more night, tonight
Expressing a desire to endure challenges and obstacles until the morning.
I just want to make it through one more night, tonight
Reiterating the wish to survive and make it through the current difficulties.
Even on the week nights all my friends say
Friends reassuring that being in one's twenties and earning money is acceptable.
You're still in your twenties and you're still getting paid, it's fine
Acceptance of the passing of time and the inevitability of losing certain opportunities.
Nothing is enough and gonna slip away
Expressing the feeling that nothing is sufficient, and there is a fear of losing what one has.
I might be dead tomorrow but tomorrow's not today
A recognition of the uncertainty of life but emphasizing the immediacy of the present moment.
I got the tunnel vision, can't see the light
Reiterating a focused and limited perspective, unable to see beyond immediate challenges.
I just want to make it through one more night, tonight
Expressing the desire to survive and endure the current hardships until the next day.
I just want to make it through one more night, tonight
Reiterating the wish to make it through the challenges of the night.
I can barely move a muscle and there's still no end in sight
Describing physical exhaustion and a seemingly unending struggle or difficulty.
And I just want to make it through one more night
Repeating the desire to survive and make it through the night.
So walk me home so walk me home so walk me home
Asking for support and companionship in facing the challenges and uncertainties.
Cause I got the tunnel vision, can't see the light
Reiterating the focused mindset, unable to see beyond immediate challenges.
I just want to make it through one more night, tonight
Expressing the desire to endure and make it through the challenges until the next day.
I just want to make it through one more night
Reiterating the wish to survive and make it through one more night.
