Over The Wall
Beyond the Wall: A Tale of Social Struggle and Lost Innocence
Lyrics
Underneath the bridge
Under a bridge, immersed in a dark, drug-influenced atmosphere
In the heroin gloom
A setting with the oppressive mood of heroin use
A once loved body
A body that was once cherished or loved
Gets plenty of room
The body now has ample space around it, indicating abandonment or neglect
In a town that begs forgiveness
In a town where forgiveness is sought or needed
Hairdressers offer no consolation
Even hairdressers cannot provide comfort or solace
Everything is not going to be okay
A pessimistic view that things will not improve
Real-life jobs are getting in the way
Real-world responsibilities are hindering progress
Parties of the rich over the wall
Wealthy people are enjoying parties behind a barrier
The world won't give me back my ball
A feeling of being deprived or excluded from the world's enjoyment
Parties of the rich over the wall
Reiteration of the exclusion from affluent gatherings
The world won't give me back my ball
Reiteration of the feeling of loss or exclusion
Alarm bells ringing
A metaphorical alarm indicating warning or danger
To the tresspassers conga
A playful comparison to intruders dancing while trespassing
Over at their house
At the wealthy individuals' residence
The smell is getting stronger
An indication of an increasingly potent or unpleasant smell
Creamy dreamy things
Luxurious or indulgent items displayed outside
Spread out on the lawn
Expressing a desire to escape existence
Wishing for escape
A plea for simple gestures of friendship or connection
Like they've never been born
A reference to seeking basic forms of human interaction
Give me handshakes
Repetition of the exclusion from opulent parties
Give me hugs
Repetition of the feeling of loss or exclusion
Give me punchlines
Rich individuals' lack of empathy or care
You pleasure-seeking thugs
Reiteration of the feeling of loss or exclusion
Parties of the rich over the wall
Reiteration of the exclusion from affluent gatherings
The world won't give me back my ball
Reiteration of the feeling of loss or exclusion
Parties of the rich over the wall
The sting of wealth from unsympathetic sources
The world won't give me back my ball
A commentary on contradictory political stances
Unsympathetic wealth is stinging
An image of people pressing against barriers
Despite Rock 'n' Roll right-wingers are singing
Summer attire enticingly displayed with limited availability
Bloody noses pressed against shattered glass
A depiction of a cleanup conducted by untrustworthy authorities
Summer outfits tease whilst offers last
Empty promises or illusions won't affect these individuals
The clear up by a shifty council
Reiteration of exclusion from affluent gatherings
With party tricks up their sleeves
Reiteration of the feeling of loss or exclusion
A fistful of fantasies
Wealthy individuals unimpressed by superficial displays
Won't impress these thieves
Reiteration of the feeling of loss or exclusion
Parties of the rich over the wall
Reiteration of the exclusion from opulent parties
The world won't give me back my ball
Reiteration of the feeling of loss or exclusion
Parties of the rich over the wall
Reiteration of the exclusion from affluent gatherings
The world won't give me back my ball
Reiteration of the feeling of loss or exclusion
