Lyrics
Adolescence is a hell of a drug
Adolescence is a powerful and challenging phase of life.
It comes and goes
The impact of adolescence is transient.
Now you're left to your mourning
Now dealing with the aftermath or consequences.
When you came back that morning
Recalling a specific morning when someone returned.
I was in the loft
The speaker was in a detached state (the loft) during that time.
A lifeless shell constructed by
Describing a lifeless state created by substance abuse.
The powdered dust
Referring to the aftermath of drug use, possibly cocaine.
I want you up
Expressing a desire for the person to rise or improve.
I need you gone
Contradictory feeling, needing the person to leave.
I want you out
Strongly expressing the desire for the person to go away.
You would have said
Implies a potential conversation that didn't happen.
Instead we packed and left stains again
Leaving stains, possibly metaphorical marks of the past.
Because I want you
Repeated desire for the person, emphasizing the want.
Want you
-Want you
-Want you
-Do you want me?
Pose a question about reciprocity in feelings.
Do you love me?
Questioning if there is love from the other person.
Guess I'll never get that closure
Acceptance of not getting closure in the relationship.
Because I want you
Reiteration of the strong desire for the person.
Want you
-Want you
-Want you
-Do you love me?
Questioning the love from the other person again.
As Above

Yet
Transition to another perspective or dimension.
So below
Connecting the higher and lower perspectives with "So Below."
Hello again
Greeting a familiar situation again.
I sort of knew we'd stay just friends
Anticipating remaining friends despite feelings.
Even though I got the feeling you'd
Expecting a familial connection despite reservations.
Raise my kin
Having a premonition that the connection will continue.
I slipped again
Admitting to a repeated mistake or relapse.
Relapsed so hard I caused
Causing concern to friends due to the severity of the relapse.
My friends to question every move I'd make To raise alarm I sin
The consequences of the speaker's actions raising alarms.
Rewinding time
Reflecting on past actions and decisions.
Insert film Nine skip to line Ten
Metaphorically referencing a film reel, wanting to skip ahead.
Close the door
Shutting out someone, possibly to avoid the truth.
I lied to you
Confessing to deception or dishonesty.
Now I'm drunk again
Indulging in alcohol as a coping mechanism.
Because I want you
Repeating the intense desire for the person despite flaws.
Want you
-Want you
-Want you
-Do you want me
Repeating the question about reciprocated feelings.
Do you love me?
Reiterating the uncertainty about the other person's love.
Guess I'll never get that closure
Reaffirming the lack of closure in the relationship.
Because I want you
