Lyrics
Oh my friend
Expressing acknowledgment or address to a friend
We have spent
Reflecting on the amount of time spent
So much time looking for someone to blame
Searching for someone to blame, possibly in a relationship
'Cause were the same
Highlighting similarities between individuals
The jealous games
Referring to negative dynamics in relationships
Take up time we could spend on other things
Suggesting that jealousy consumes time that could be better used elsewhere
Oh my friend
Continuation of addressing a friend
If it ends
Contemplating the potential end of a relationship
Let us go and then not look back again
Advocating for moving on without dwelling on the past
We can't be
Recognizing the limitations of the relationship between "you and me"
You and me
Emphasizing not taking oneself too seriously
Taken' ourselves much too seriously
Acknowledging self-reflection and not being overly self-absorbed
But out in space
Introducing a metaphorical setting "out in space"
A million miners work upon
Describing miners working in the vastness of space
The night's cold face
Portraying the challenges faced in the vastness of space
But all I see is black
Feeling surrounded by darkness or negativity
And all the stars look back
Noticing a lack of positive outcomes
At me
Feeling observed or judged by external forces
Oh my friend
Continuation of addressing a friend
What a friend
Expressing surprise or disappointment in a friend's actions
I'd have thought you'd have stayed here till the end
Expecting loyalty or support until the end
I take a bow
Taking a bow, possibly indicating acceptance or closure
Draw the crowd
Attracting attention from others, possibly in a performative way
We're just words in the sand at high tide
Comparing relationships to fleeting words in the sand
But out in space
Reiteration of the metaphor of miners working in space
A million miners work upon
Emphasizing the challenges faced in the vastness of space
The night's cold face
Continuation of portraying the difficulties of space
But all I see is black
Repetition of feeling surrounded by darkness or negativity
And all the stars look back
Repetition of noticing a lack of positive outcomes
And I'm leaving
Expressing the decision to leave or move on
Oh my friend
Continuation of addressing a friend
We should spend
Suggesting the need for a different perspective or outlook
Some more time looking from the other end
Encouraging more contemplation from a different angle
'Cause we would see
Emphasizing clarity that comes with a different viewpoint
So clearly
Acknowledging shared responsibility in problems
We'd blame ourselves as much as we'd blame weed
Repetition of shared blame, possibly involving substances like weed
We'd blame ourselves as much as we'd blame weed
-We'd blame ourselves
Repetition of acknowledging shared blame
