In Limbo
Journey Through Unspoken Emotions: In Limbo by Zack Elliott
Lyrics
I've got a letter and it's addressed to the coils of my bed
I have received a letter directed to the coils of my bed.
They creak and they groan
The coils of the bed make creaking and groaning sounds.
Can't get off the phone
I'm unable to end a phone call, feeling trapped on the phone.
They bounce me and leave me for dead
The bed's movements affect me negatively, leaving me feeling abandoned.
So when I go
When I depart or die.
Well I'm taking my pittance
Leaving with a small amount, perhaps indicating a modest existence.
And my shoes
Taking essential belongings - shoes, coat, hat - emphasizing simplicity.
And my coat
-And my hat
-Shuffling down the street
Walking down the street, possibly reflecting on life's journey.
Starin' at my feet
Engaged in self-reflection, looking down and contemplating.
I've got a picture and it's a picture of me and of you
Possessing a faded picture of oneself and another person.
It's faded, discoloured
The picture is aged and discolored, hinting at the passage of time.
Eyes look like your mother's
Noting similarities in the eyes with someone's mother, connecting generations.
We're dying and enjoying the view
Despite the inevitability of death, finding enjoyment in the present moment.
So when I go
Similar to line 5, referring to departing or passing away.
Well I'm taking my likeness
Taking one's resemblance, tools, cigarettes, and dreams when departing.
And my tools
-And my smokes
-And my dreams
-Standing on the corner
Standing alone on a street corner without receiving acknowledgment.
No one waves to me
Feeling unnoticed or ignored by others.
I've got a memory and she's a windless and troubled misgiven
Recalling a memory described as windless, troubled, and misgiven.
All bite and no bark
The memory is characterized by aggression without substance.
Earthquakes in the dark
Experiencing difficulties or upheavals in the dark or challenging times.
Unfasten and go on forgiven
Releasing and forgiving, letting go of past grievances.
