Layin' on the Basement Floor: Numbing Pain and Wasted Patience
Lyrics
I don't wanna feel the pain anymore
I want to avoid experiencing pain.
Think I might go back to numbing it
Considering going back to numbing the pain.
They always said less is more
The advice of "less is more" doesn't apply to money.
Guess not when it comes to money
Contrasting the idea that less is more when it comes to money.
What am I waiting for
Questioning what is worth waiting for.
They told me stay patient but I feel wasted
Advised to be patient, but feeling wasted and impatient.
Layin' on the basement floor
Lying on the basement floor, possibly in a state of distress.
Strung along
Describing a scene in a cold city, expressing a need to cope and feel alive tomorrow.

-Through an open door on a derelict

-In this fucking town when it's three degrees
-Gimme back what I need

-Layin' on the basement floor
-I gotta
Describing physical actions like a rubber jaw, bouncing back, somersaults, and coping mechanisms to fend off negative thoughts.
Rubber jaw, rubber jaw
-cpparently
-I can bounce back
-Backwards, ordinarily
-Somersaults, on repeat
-Every week, staving off thoughts
-Guts turn like the other cheek
-Run around, head smacked, fall down, set back
-More than you'd ever believe
-Now all the lights may flicker but I come to quicker
-cnd I know how tomorrow will be, it'll be that
-I don't wanna feel the pain anymore
Reiterating the desire to avoid pain, questioning advice about less being more in the context of money, and expressing impatience.
