Lyrics
Can you help me
Expressing a plea for assistance or support.
Is anyone out there
Seeking confirmation of someone's presence or willingness to help.
I feel it's been so long since I let anyone else in You can fantasize all you want, but that don't make it real
Reflecting on a prolonged period since allowing others into one's life. Emphasizing the distinction between fantasy and reality.
It's not yours, it never was no matter how you feel
Rejecting a sense of ownership or entitlement over a situation or relationship, irrespective of emotional attachment.
Pull it off, Anna Rose
Encouraging someone named Anna Rose to endure or overcome challenges.
You'll see there ain't any reason anymore to feign a smile the morning after
Asserting that there is no need to pretend happiness after a significant event.
I will only be in the way like a pillar at a play Sketchy as a back road on a two day bender
Comparing oneself to an obstructive presence, suggesting withdrawal or avoidance.
Turn around and walk home
Advising to retreat or go back, possibly from a difficult situation.
Keep this between you and me
Requesting confidentiality in communication.
Ante up and settle down or you'll pay dearly
Urging to take responsibility and settle into a stable life, warning of potential consequences otherwise.
The bottom rushes up to meet us like the sweating summer heat
Metaphorically describing a rapid descent or crisis, drawing parallels to the intensity of summer heat.
Who are you with eyes like that to ever look at me
Pondering the identity and intentions of someone with captivating eyes.
Pull it off, Anna Rose
Reiterating encouragement for Anna Rose to endure or overcome challenges.
You'll see there ain't any reason anymore to feign a smile the morning after
Repeating the idea that there's no need to fake happiness the morning after a significant event.
I will only be in the way like a pillar at a play
Emphasizing the speaker's perceived interference in situations, like a pillar disrupting a play.
Sketchy as a back road on a two day bender
Comparing communication to a dubious social construct and warning about losing empathy.
Communication's pseudo social
Highlighting the societal devaluation of compassion, considering it a flaw in the system.
We're losing our hearts so be careful
Advising to conform and avoid dissent in the face of challenges.
When they view compassion as a glitch within the system
Expressing disillusionment with societal norms and questioning their authenticity.
Keep your head down, shut your mouth and try to stay in line
Advocating for conformity to societal expectations.
Is anybody else here falling for this bullshit lie We could be so much more if we try
Questioning the legitimacy of a perceived falsehood and expressing a desire for greater potential if effort is invested.
