Lyrics
On and on, on and on we’re climbing
Continuously progressing, moving forward
Closer to the picture
Making progress towards understanding or clarity

I don’t feel bad about it
Not feeling guilty or regretful about a situation
So eloquently undecided
Being uncertain or indecisive in a graceful manner
Should I feel bad about it?
Questioning whether one should feel guilty or remorseful
Weight off my back, no strings attached, I just collapse
Feeling relieved from a burden or responsibility without any obligations, leading to a collapse or breakdown
Like me hiding in the bleachers
Comparing oneself to someone hiding or avoiding attention
How will I ever learn to drown it out?
Wondering how to ignore or overcome something troubling
Heartbeat, head between the speakers
Feeling overwhelmed by loud noises or emotions, heart racing
When did it ever get to be so loud?
Reflecting on when things became so chaotic or intense
Closer to the picture
Continuing the journey towards understanding or clarity
Punch with a fist, high five to a friend
Describing playful interactions, possibly involving humor
Classic cheap humour
Reference to humor that is conventional or predictable

Man I just left in a hurry
Leaving quickly, possibly avoiding a situation or people
Caught some old friends on the stairs
