Lyrics
The color of my hair is changing, my skin is soft
The speaker notices physical changes, aging, and vulnerability.
Too soft for a man my age, and I am never alone
Despite feeling vulnerable, the speaker is never truly alone.
Where is time taking me
The speaker reflects on the passage of time and its impact on their life.
Nothin' is real, this is how I feel
The speaker questions the authenticity of their reality, expressing a sense of detachment.
And nothing is wrong but everything takes too long
Things seem fine but are frustratingly slow, leading to a sense of dissatisfaction.
How did this end up me against you
The speaker feels in opposition or conflict with someone else.
With everything that I say, and everything you do
There's a struggle between words and actions, possibly in a relationship.
Your smile is changing yea, where is time taking you
Observing changes in someone else, wondering about their journey through time.
'Cause nothing is real, this is how I feel
Reiterating a feeling of detachment from reality.
And nothing is good, but I don't mind being blind
The speaker is resigned to not seeing or acknowledging problems ('being blind') but is willing to endure ('doing time').
If you don't mind doing time
Suggesting a willingness to endure consequences for ignorance or overlooking issues.
Nothing is wrong but everything takes too long
Similar to line 5, expressing frustration at the slow pace of things despite no apparent problems.
Hey by the way, when I fell to your
A casual introduction to a reflection on the impact of the speaker's actions on someone else.
Waste side, did I crash or just slide
Reflecting on whether the speaker's actions caused harm or simply had a minor effect.
Hey by the way, when I pulled myself up
Continuing to reflect on actions taken in relation to someone else.
To your waste side did I hurt you or just slide in
Asking if actions taken had a negative impact or were simply incidental.
So this is how it feels to get a little older
Expressing the experience of aging and gaining wisdom, albeit with uncertainty.
And some would say wiser
Recognizing the conventional association of aging with wisdom.
But we know what that means, maybe not
Questioning the certainty of understanding what aging and wisdom truly entail.
When maybe that's what that means, maybe not
Reflecting further on the uncertainty of the meaning behind conventional ideas.
'Cause nothing is real, this is how I feel
Reiterating the feeling of detachment from reality and authenticity.
And nothing is good, but I don't mind being blind
Repeated acceptance of ignoring problems ('being blind') while enduring the consequences ('doing time').
If you don't mind doing time
Reiterating a willingness to face consequences for ignoring issues.
Nothing is wrong but everything takes too long
Similar frustration at the slow pace of things without apparent problems.
Hey by the way, when I fell to your
Reflecting on past actions and their potential impact on someone else.
Waste side, did I crash or just slide
Continued reflection on whether actions caused harm or were inconsequential.
Hey by the way, when I pulled myself up
Continuing to reflect on past actions taken in relation to someone else.
To your waste side did I hurt you or just slide in
Questioning the impact of actions taken on someone else.
