Another Year of Pants
Misled in City Lights
Lyrics
One hit and I'm done
Feeling the effects strongly after a single dose of something, likely a substance.
I guess they'll have to find another one
Acknowledging that if they've had their share, others will need to find their own.
Never seems to leave my little head
Thoughts or memories persistently stay in their mind.
Didn't think that I could be mislead
Didn't anticipate being deceived or misled.
She's part of the scene
Referring to someone as a crucial part of the social environment.
Growing up on run-down beauty queens
Growing up among people who were once attractive but are now worn down.
Everything is gone just for today
Everything has been lost or removed for the present moment.
Don't you think I'd know to stay away
Questioning why they haven't learned to avoid certain situations.
I don't wanna waste your time
Expressing a desire not to waste the other person's time.
Just tell me when I'm good to leave
Asking for a signal or permission to leave.
I don't wanna change your mind
Doesn't want to influence or alter the other person's viewpoint.
To something only I could see
Trying to avoid imposing their perspective on others.
Nothing but a burnt out string of lights
Metaphorically describing a series of failures or disappointments.
Trying to fit in with the city life
Attempting to assimilate into urban culture or lifestyle.
Tired eyes could only tell a lie
Suggesting that tired eyes can't convey the truth.
Can you tell me where you were last night?
Inquiring about someone's whereabouts from the previous night.
I could only think of something in my mind
Struggling to conceive something in their mind.
But it's just too much, you don't have to ask why
Feeling overwhelmed, suggesting no need to question the reason.
Perfect plans only make sense on the inside
Perfection in plans only evident from an internal perspective.
I could only see what I wanted
Seeing only what they desired to see.
I don't wanna change your mind
Reiterating the desire not to influence the other person's perspective.
It's something that you'll never see
Something that the other person won't ever comprehend or perceive.
I don't wanna waste your time
Declaring not to waste the other person's time when their own is being wasted.
When you'll just waste mine
Expressing frustration about someone else wasting their time.
