Lyrics
You've got me looking in the rear-view mirror
You're making me look back, reflecting on the past
Cause I still get the feeling that you might be here
I still have a sense or hope that you might return
Start to panic and I drive too fast
Feeling anxious and driving recklessly
And you can watch me flying off the overpass
An image of me crashing off a bridge
You and me against the world she said
A sense of unity against challenges, as expressed by someone else
You and me we may as well be dead
Our relationship feels lifeless or devoid of meaning
Maybe I can change
Expressing a desire to change
Maybe I could say Maybe I'm the bedrock in your way
Suggesting willingness to compromise or improve
I'm just food for your garden
Feeling like a disposable or insignificant part of someone's life
Buried under weight
Feeling burdened or overwhelmed, hidden or ignored
In the light of day
Being exposed to scrutiny or judgment
Watch me decay
Experiencing deterioration or decline
I'm just food for your garden
Reiteration of feeling insignificant or disposable
I'll occupy the same space they do
Being in the same place as forgotten or discarded things
With old family pets helping flowers bloom
Symbolic connection between deceased pets and nourishing flowers
A safety coffin with sufficient room
Metaphorical reference to a coffin designed to ensure survival underground
I quite like it down here, so I'll never move
Expressing comfort or acceptance of a stagnant situation
Maybe I can change
Expressing a desire to change
Maybe I could say Maybe I'm the bedrock in your way
Suggesting willingness to compromise or improve
I'm just food for your garden
Feeling like a disposable or insignificant part of someone's life
Buried under weight
Feeling burdened or overwhelmed, hidden or ignored
In the light of day
Being exposed to scrutiny or judgment
Watch me decay
Experiencing deterioration or decline
I'm just food for your garden
Reiteration of feeling insignificant or disposable
And down here we all sing
Community in a shared predicament
I'll retire my human form
Transitioning from human form to a natural state
And seep into the soil for the roots to gorge
Becoming a source of nourishment for growth
I'm as useful as I'll ever be
Acceptance of one's role or purpose in life
Picking off the petals to remember me
Leaving behind a mark or memory
When I'm gone will you remember me?
Questioning if one will be remembered after departing
Maybe I can change
Expressing a desire to change
Maybe I could say Maybe I'm the bedrock in your way
Suggesting willingness to compromise or improve
I'm just food for your garden
Feeling like a disposable or insignificant part of someone's life
Buried under weight
Feeling burdened or overwhelmed, hidden or ignored
In the light of day
Being exposed to scrutiny or judgment
Watch me decay
Experiencing deterioration or decline
I'm just food for your garden
Reiteration of feeling insignificant or disposable
