Below The Ceiling
Unveiling Life's Maze: Below The Ceiling by vincent's last summer
Lyrics
You hit me over the head
You physically or metaphorically struck me unexpectedly.
I thought you were dead
I believed you were no longer alive.
I've got a sore throat from swimming at the shallow end
I have a sore throat, possibly from being in a challenging or uncomfortable situation.
I know this place and the carpet is amazing
I am familiar with this place, and the carpet is impressive.
They've got this quiz team and they win every evening
There is a quiz team here that consistently wins every evening.
Had I not known what I was in for then
If I had known the situation in advance.
I probably wouldn't be striving to get more than what I bargained for
I might not have aspired to achieve more than what was initially agreed upon.
There's a watch on your wrist
You have a watch on your wrist.
You're not wearing a jacket
You are not wearing a jacket.
It'll only be okay if you're sure that you can hack it
Things will only be acceptable if you are confident in handling them.
I thought I'd only be missing out on the flowers
I expected to miss out only on positive experiences.
But apparently it seems that we've been here for hours
However, it appears that a significant amount of time has passed.
I've seen the size of you, I know how you tower
I am aware of your stature and dominance.
So why not stay for one more beverage?
Why not stay for another drink?
You think that I'm okay with not knowing
You believe I am fine with not having all the information.
Well I think you should watch where you're going
I suggest you be cautious about your direction.
Another time, another delicacy
Another instance, another apology.
Another written apology letter
A written apology letter for a different occasion.
Oh I wonder how that might be
Curious about how that might turn out.
I've spent all year on my own
I've spent the entire year in solitude.
I get the feeling you're unsure
You seem uncertain about something.
How could you settle for such unsatisfaction?
Why are you settling for dissatisfaction?
I've spent all year on my own
I've spent the entire year alone.
And this house is not your home
This house is not your home.
How could you settle?
Why are you settling?
How could you?
Why are you?
Your time is precious
Your time is valuable.
We haven't made it to the best part
We haven't reached the most enjoyable part yet.
Below the ceiling
Below the ceiling, a critical moment almost shattered your heart.
It nearly broke your heart
A dart board is broken, possibly symbolizing a disruption.
My dart board is broken now
You've led me astray, and my trust is broken.
And you seem to have lead me astray
An unlocked door inside the country club is where I've chosen to stay.
There's this unlocked door inside the country club
The 'theme-o-matic' is broken, and magic doesn't exist.
And that is where it seems I've gone to stay
No magic, only a sense of tragedy.
Broken 'theme-o-matic'
Expressing the lack of magic as utterly tragic.
And there's no such thing as magic
Emphasizing the absence of magic.
And don't you find (don't you find it) it just so utterly, utterly tragic?
Stating the tragic nature of the absence of magic.
(No such thing as magic, it is utterly utterly tragic
(Repetition of the idea that there's no magic and it's utterly tragic.)
No such, no such thing
(Repetition of the idea that there's no such thing as magic.)
No such thing as, there's no such thing as)
(Repetition emphasizing the non-existence of magic.)
Your time is precious
Your time is valuable.
We haven't made it to the best part
We still haven't reached the most enjoyable part.
Below the ceiling
Below the ceiling, a critical moment almost shattered your heart.
It nearly broke your heart
Expressing the belief that I am fine with not having all the information.
You think that I'm okay with not knowing
I suggest you be cautious about your direction.
Well I think you should watch where you're going
(Repetition of the cautionary statement about being aware of your direction.)
