Lyrics
The glowing and the moaning
The beauty and the pain
The flowing serotonin
The release of happiness-inducing chemicals in the brain
The birds are vermin and the bees
Nature's creatures, often seen negatively, contribute to spreading illness
Spread disease
They contribute to the spread of disease
And it catches
It spreads quickly
Like matches kissing the street
Similar to how fire ignites when touching the street
Anywhere you strike ignites
The impact of actions can have widespread consequences
Anyone you'd like I want to be
Desire to be anyone that the person you like desires
I guess I just get carried away...
A tendency to get overly involved or excited
(Hey, play pretend
Engage in make-believe scenarios
Stay a superficial friend)
Stay at a surface level in friendships
Because the benefits abound and it's a big town
Advantages are plenty in this big city, might not stay visible
Might not see me around
May not be easily found or seen
(Hey, play the fool
Pretend to act foolishly
Maybe should've stayed in school)
Regret not pursuing education further
It's just the lesson I've ingested on the street scarred
Lessons learned from experiences marked by hardships
My sweet heart
Affectionate term for a loved one affected by difficult experiences
The memories are in my arteries
Past experiences are deeply ingrained within
In a kodak
Metaphorical reference to captured moments, reminiscent of Kodak photos
Saw an eye shift
Observing a change in perception
Such a throwback
A nostalgic reminder
To the big whiff
Recalling a time when understanding was elusive
When I couldn't catch the drift
Struggling to comprehend
It's a message I receive, no code to crack
Receiving a message without the need for decryption
Yet the last thing i'd believe, in an almanac
Unlikely to believe in predictions or forecasts
Still on a mission? Are you missing?
Questioning if someone is still pursuing their goals
Will you swim, shipwreck?
Metaphorically asking if someone is sinking due to their choices
Are you listening to wishes i've thrown back?
Listening to unfulfilled desires that were discarded
It's an ulcer I received slugging away some agony
Received a painful experience from working tirelessly
Like the pulse under the sleeve chugging away at such a speed
Heartbeat metaphorically racing due to stress
Learned a lesson I refuse to impress upon the youth
Refusing to impart negative lessons onto younger generations
No confession, don't accuse
Avoiding confessing or blaming others
It's useless to guess who
Unable to identify who is at fault
Still on a mission. Are you missing?
Questioning if someone is still focused on their ambitions
Will you swim, capsized?
Metaphorically drowning or struggling due to circumstances
I saw it glisten in the ocean of your eyes
Seeing a sparkle or shine in someone's eyes
