Sheet Forts
Unraveling Realities: Sheet Forts' Echoing Melancholy
Lyrics
I'm chainsmoking under sheet forts
The speaker is smoking multiple cigarettes rapidly while under makeshift forts constructed from sheets.
That we built
Refers to the collaborative effort between the speaker and someone else to create these sheet forts.
My lungs are hardened concrete
The speaker's lungs feel tough and inflexible, possibly due to the impact of smoking.
Question my will
There's a challenge or doubt about the determination or strength of the speaker's resolve or intentions.
I thought you'd be more discreet
The speaker expected the other person to keep things more private or hidden.
Thought you'd have guilt
The speaker thought the other person would feel remorseful or regretful about something.
I'm back to the question if anything's real
The speaker is questioning the reality or genuineness of everything around them.
And I can't undo what's been done
The speaker feels unable to reverse or change what has already happened.
No, I can't see through glass that's broken
It's impossible for the speaker to have clear insight or understanding due to significant damage or distortion.
And when I leave the shards
Even after the speaker departs or moves away, remnants of their presence will remain.
Still won't be gone
The impact or consequences of actions won't vanish completely.
I know the moon never guaranteed the sun
Recognition that certain outcomes or promises aren't guaranteed despite hopes or expectations.
I can't undo what's done
Reiteration of the inability to reverse past actions or events.
I guess that I was wrong
Admission of a mistake or misjudgment.
I guess I'm meant to run i guess (I guess)
Feeling destined or compelled to flee or escape.
Again, let me ask you when will you realize
Asking when someone else will recognize a particular truth or reality.
Real lies can't be seen by these real eyes
A play on words suggesting that genuine lies cannot be perceived by one's ordinary vision or understanding.
How easily it would seem, I read your mind
It was easy for the speaker to understand or predict the thoughts of the other person.
When there's nothing in sight
When there's nothing visible or apparent on the surface.
'cause there's nothing inside
Emptiness or a lack of substance or depth within the other person.
I've got no time to live
The speaker feels pressed for time to live their life.
Spend my time til I die
Planning to spend all available time until death arrives.
I'm losing my mind, and I do not know why
The speaker is experiencing a mental decline or confusion without understanding the reason.
When will you realize
A repetition of the earlier question regarding recognition of a particular truth or reality.
Can't be seen by these real eyes
Reiterating the idea that certain truths cannot be perceived by ordinary sight or understanding.
