Lyrics
I been talkin’ too much
I have been talking excessively
I should probably come clean
I should confess or reveal the truth
I need something sweet but
I crave something sweet
but nothing’s strong enough
Nothing satisfies or fulfills my desires
so I chase old my highs
I pursue my past highs
find some new lows
Discovering new lows or negative experiences
when the wind blows
Metaphorical reference to challenges, difficulties
I’m Chicago
Identification with the city of Chicago
I should really learn
I need to acquire the skill
learn to let go
I should release my attachments
learn to let go
Repetition for emphasis on letting go
I hate to say it but my heart is on vacation
Expressing regret, emotional detachment
I’ll see you later when my head’s on straight
Reconnection when emotions are in order
I heard it bumpin’
Auditory perception of a rhythm or sound
At the bottom of the ocean
Metaphor for being deep in problems or emotions
Need more than sugar in my lemonade
Desire for more substance in life, not just sweetness
Squeeze
Symbolic action of extracting vitality
The life right out of me
Draining life energy from oneself
Before I use it up
Before exhausting it
And spend it on someone that I can’t love enough
Spending energy on someone without sufficient love
I hate to say it but my heart is on vacation
Reiteration of heart's absence
I’ll see you later when my head’s on straight
Reconnection after emotional recovery
I heard it bumpin’
Recurrence of the rhythmic sound
At the bottom of the ocean
Reiteration of being deep in problems or emotions
Need more than sugar in my lemonade
Desire for more than superficial sweetness
so I
Continuation of personal actions
chase my old highs
Continuing the pursuit of past highs
find some new lows
Finding new negative experiences
left my halo
Symbolic abandonment of purity or goodness
on the west coast
Geographical reference to a location
I should really learn
Reiteration of the need to acquire a skill
learn to let go
Reiteration of the need to release attachments
learn to let go
Repetition for emphasis on letting go
