Stairwolf
Stairwolf Revelry: Escaping Boston's Grasp
Lyrics
See you coming down the stairs again
Observing someone descending the stairs
Your head on fire, hands pinned up against the wall
Describing the person with intense emotions, possibly distressed
Your body's taking off, and it starts to roam
Expressing a sense of liberation and movement in the person's body
Say to me, you don't wanna stay here
The person communicates a desire to leave the current place
Don't wanna stay home
Reiterating the desire not to stay at home
Cut the room in half with your laugh just like you always do
Describing the person's laughter dividing the room
And I'm always new, arms in the air
Feeling constantly refreshed or renewed
Ready to ride and catch the Greyhound baby
Expressing readiness for adventure and travel
Burn off the tread right down to the sole
Metaphorically burning through life's experiences
Don't wanna stay home
Reiteration of not wanting to stay at home
Wanna climb out the window, rock n roll
Expressing a desire for excitement and rebellion
And everywhere I go they're following me
Feeling pursued or observed everywhere
Let 'em loose, wild, running free
Advocating for freedom and living unrestrained
Pack my baggage, take it all to the coast
Packing up belongings for a journey
Outwit the enemy, outrun the ghost
Metaphorically overcoming challenges and fears
Me and you, up until two
Sharing experiences with a companion until late at night
We got each other but we don't know what to do
Uncertainty about what to do despite having each other
Hunted, hounded, and haunted
Feeling pursued, pressured, and troubled
Hey you, what you think you're gonna do?
A rhetorical question questioning the person's intentions
Floating around, making sounds on the shoreline
Engaging in activities by the water's edge
Playing games at the downtown boulevard
Describing activities in the city center
Hanging on you at the side of the stage
Being close to someone during a performance
Jaime said he saw something
Reference to someone named Jaime and a sense of urgency
Gotta get the fuck out of Boston now, go away
Expressing a strong desire to leave a location
Don't wanna go home
Reiteration of not wanting to go home
Wanna shout from the window, rock n roll
Expressing a desire to shout and embrace a rebellious spirit
And roll my body over to you
Desiring physical closeness and connection
Let me loose, let loose, won't stop until I reach you
Expressing a determination to reach a destination
And you roll your body over to me
Reciprocal desire for physical closeness
Let me loose, let loose, 'til we slide into the deep blue
Desiring liberation until reaching a profound state
You and me, up until three
Sharing experiences until late at night
That was the dream, to kick down every door
Desiring to break down barriers and achieve conquest
And to conquer
Reflecting on a past ambition
And now you run run run
Running relentlessly until exhaustion
Until you can't run anywhere anymore
Expressing a sense of being trapped or having nowhere else to go
Don't wanna go home
Repetition of the desire not to go home, emphasizing the sentiment
Don't wanna go home
-Don't wanna go home
-Don't wanna go home
-Don't wanna go home
-Don't wanna go home
-Don't wanna go home
-Don't wanna go home
