Lyrics
You're stretching yourself so thin
You are overextending yourself.
Fitting to slip through the pin-holes
Trying to escape through small openings.
In those window screens
Referencing obstacles represented by window screens.
But you stuck around like cement
Despite difficulties, you remain firmly in place.
So I sound this lament
Expressing sorrow or mourning.
To vent our season of seething
Sharing feelings of intense anger or resentment.
Here's to the walls
Toasting to barriers preventing progress.
Holding you back
Acknowledging the hindrance caused by walls.
Ear to the wall
Listening closely to obstacles.
With your fingers all plugging every crack
Actively trying to block any potential issues.
Let's let this flood come carry away
Advocating for a flood to wash away pain.
All of the pain, circle the drain
Desiring a release from emotional distress.
Dissolve the obligation
Wishing to dissolve responsibilities.
Blood sweat tears and motivation!
Expressing dedication through hardship.
Get out fast don't fret to cast a net to catch a breath
Urging to escape quickly without worrying.
To hold it in
Enduring difficulties silently.
Til me and you are starting to turn blue
Suggesting a point of extreme difficulty.
To comply til we die and fucking waste it on a sigh or a new excuse
Conforming to societal expectations until exhaustion.
Here's to the walls
Again, toasting to the collapse of barriers.
Crumbling to the rhythm of the downfall of capitalism
Linking wall collapse to the downfall of capitalism.
Ear to the wall
Listening to the consequences of societal decline.
Can you hear the water
Awareness of impending danger or crisis.
Dog, this dam's like lamb to slaughter
Comparing a dam to a situation doomed to failure.
So let this flood come carry away
Advocating once more for a flood to cleanse pain.
All of the pain, circle the drain
Reiterating the desire to escape emotional distress.
Dissolve the obligation
Expressing a wish to remove obligations.
To some rich kids on vacation
Addressing the privileged who are unaffected.
While at your station it's caffeine like gasoline
Contrasting a comfortable lifestyle with struggle.
As the time escapes us we degrade into machine
Describing the impact of time on human behavior.
So spend all the extra hours picking pretty flowers to give to your queen
Suggesting futile efforts to please someone important.
