Lyrics
I was turning the end of my key
I was reaching the end of my journey or situation
to a room at the end of the street
Entering a distant room located at the end of a street
and when I entered I dropped to the floor
Upon entering, experiencing a profound emotional reaction, possibly related to thoughts of someone
and thought of you some more
Continuing to contemplate and think about the mentioned person
When I opened my eyes it was day
Awakening to a new day after the intense emotional experience
I was worried I'd too fade away
Concerns about fading away or losing oneself
I got ready for nothin at all
Getting prepared for an uncertain outcome or event
and walked through the wall
Metaphorically passing through obstacles or challenges
In the middle of 20th street
In a specific location (20th street), letting one's shadow or darker side take control
I let my shadow take over the lead
Allowing the shadow to lead the way
and I followed him down the Ice Blocks
Following the shadow down a path referred to as "Ice Blocks"
like a parrot that talks
Using the metaphor of a talking parrot to describe the journey
Solo, wherever I go
Expressing a sense of solitude and loneliness
I feel so low
Feeling emotionally down and isolated
I know that it shows
Awareness that the emotional state is visible to others
its a prison that I can't escape
Describing a situation as a prison from which escape seems impossible
won't you just look away
Pleading for someone to ignore or disregard the struggles
There's a universe under my feet
Sensing a vast and unexplored world beneath one's feet
I can feel it screamin from beneath
Feeling a powerful, expressive energy emerging from below
I was learning the words to a song
Learning the lyrics to a song, possibly signifying personal growth
it didn't take very long
Quickly acquiring knowledge or skills
There are people way stronger than me
Acknowledging the existence of individuals who are stronger or more resilient
and it's from them that i'm learning to be
Gaining strength and resilience through observation and learning from others
throw a penny heads up off a cliff
Symbolic act of overcoming challenges, represented by throwing a penny off a cliff
when the gravity shifts
Dealing with the unpredictable shifts and challenges of life
Take a memory out of the shade
Bringing a memory into the light, possibly for reflection or acceptance
and put it there in the sun to decay
Allowing a memory to undergo a natural process of decay or fading
I remember the curse from the lips
Recalling a negative experience or influence from an adversary
of my enemy's kiss
Referencing a curse received through a metaphorical kiss
Solo, wherever I go
Reiterating the theme of solitude and emotional lowliness
I feel so low
Expressing the persistent feeling of emotional isolation
I know that it shows
Recognition that this emotional state is noticeable to others
its a prison that I can't escape
Describing a situation as a imprisoning emotional state with no apparent escape
won't you just look away
Pleading for someone to turn a blind eye to the struggles
