Lyrics
Up scope
Preparation to look through the periscope
But I can almost see them
The speaker senses something but cannot clearly perceive it
Just out of focus
Something is just beyond clear vision or understanding
You're so far away
Emphasis on the distance or separation from the subject
Out of focus
Reiterating that the subject is unclear and distant
You're so far away
Re-emphasizing the remoteness of the subject
Down periscope
Lowering the periscope, possibly moving away from attempting to see clearly
We all need
A general need or necessity
All need some rope
Symbolic reference to needing help or assistance
But I can almost see them
Continued sense of perceiving something, though unclear
Just out of focus
Reiteration of something being just beyond clear perception
You're so far away
Reinforcing the idea of great distance or disconnect
Twist the barrel
Adjusting or turning the barrel, possibly to focus or aim
Not so far away
Contrasting the previous distant perception, indicating a closer proximity
We all need some rope every now and then
A common need for assistance or support periodically
We all need some rope every now and then
Reiteration of the commonality of needing help occasionally
But I can almost see them
Reiterating the sense of perceiving something that's just out of clear view
