Lyrics
When it rains outside the bus
Expressing a desire to find shelter from the rain while on a bus
I'm gonna cover up the little bumps
Intending to protect oneself from minor obstacles or challenges
When it rains outside the bus
Reiteration of seeking refuge from rain while on the bus
I'm gonna fall back down, then get back up
Anticipating a fall but resolving to rise again
Outside when the windows down
Describing the atmosphere outside with open windows, stars, and moon
And the stars are in and the moon is out
Setting the scene of a dark internal feeling despite external brightness
It feels so dark inside
Expressing a sense of darkness within oneself
And I don't just think
Reflecting on the internal struggle and acknowledging its presence
It's in my mind
Suggesting that the darkness is not merely imagined but exists in reality
I'm gonna fall straight up
Using metaphorical language to describe a paradoxical situation of falling up
And sit back down
Committing to sitting back down after the unconventional fall
I think I could be dead
Contemplating the possibility of being emotionally or spiritually dead
I think I could be dead
Repeating the contemplation of personal mortality
It's all inside my head
Suggesting that the perceived death is a mental construct
It's all inside my head
Reiterating that the internal struggles are within the realm of the mind
I think I must be dead
Considering the possibility of actual physical death
I think I must be dead
Repeating the contemplation of physical mortality
It's not inside my head
Asserting that the perceived death is not a mental construct
It's not inside my head
Stating that the sense of death is external to the mind
It's not inside my head (It's not inside my head)
Emphasizing the external nature of the perceived death
It's not inside my head
Repeating the assertion that the sense of death is not internal
Woah
Expressing a strong emotional reaction, possibly surprise or realization
