Periodically Double or Triple
Navigating Life's Maze: Yo La Tengo's Reflection on Time and Perception
Lyrics
Never read Proust
Choosing not to read Proust, possibly finding his work too lengthy or complex.
Seems a little too long
Expressing the perception that Proust's works are overly long.
Never used the hammer
Never using a hammer without making a mistake, implying a tendency to misuse tools.
Without somehow using it wrong
Reflecting on a habit of using a hammer incorrectly.
Ive got time on my hands
Having free time that cannot be easily erased or forgotten.
That I cant wash off
A sense of regret or discomfort about past actions that cannot be undone.
I'm cruising
Driving or moving forward, possibly in life.
I cant shake this car
Feeling unable to escape from a situation or commitment.
Walls are closing in
Experiencing a sense of confinement or pressure in one's surroundings.
They often do
Acknowledging the common occurrence of feeling trapped or confined.
I'm seeing double and triple
Experiencing visual distortions, possibly due to stress or disorientation.
Does this ever happen to you?
Asking if others also experience seeing double or triple images.
I don't have to make it rain
Expressing a lack of desire or need to be extravagant or wasteful.
But I never argue a proven review
Not challenging a well-established and accepted opinion.
Never wear a helmet
Avoiding safety measures when engaging in risky activities.
when I'm riding a bike
Not remembering faces easily, suggesting a difficulty in recognizing people.
Never recall a face
Describing a mental gap where intended thoughts or words are missing.
to me they all look alike
Living in the past, possibly dwelling on previous experiences.
Ive got a hole in my brain
Returning or rejecting gifts from the past.
where what I meant to say lives
Feeling confined or pressured mentally, akin to physical walls closing in.
I'm live in the past
Reiterating the common feeling of being trapped or confined.
And give back gifts and gifts
Experiencing distorted vision, potentially due to stress or disorientation.

Sometimes in the future tense
Expressing a hope for a safer future, possibly involving barriers or protection.
I hope that you were safer
Suggesting the installation of an electric fence for increased safety.
Put up an electric fence
Highlighting the importance of safety measures for harmonious coexistence.
Then only then
Emphasizing the potential for unity if safety measures are in place.
We can all get along
Encouraging the documentation of agreements or commitments.
Get it down in writing
Seeking validation or judgment for one's actions from an authoritative figure.
