about

The origin and exact meaning of this song are secret, but at the very least you can tell that it's about blaming oneself for every last thing that goes wrong. Things aren't looking too good for the protagonist of the story right now.

lyrics

Walking around in these crowded streets
It's a little less lonely than my room
There's smoke pouring out of these gaping mouths, they glare at me as I pass by
They're fire-breathing and I don't even know why
Maybe it's because there's no hope for me

I think they're living their lives to the fullest extent, they're dying at 40, when it's all supposed to end

All this fresh air is so bad for my lungs, that's what I've heard, so it must be true
I think I'll cut the phone lines and wrap them around below my head

If you know you can't take me
On your own, properly
I'll give you time, never leave
Until you throw and can't retrieve

You let me see my own blueprints
It turns out I'm alone by design
My mind's on fire, I don't even know why
Hose me down, end the drought

If you know you can't take me
On your own, properly
I'll give you time, never leave
Until you throw and can't retrieve
I wanna go home, don't you take it from me
As I fade alone on these dim-lit streets
Is it a twist-tie or is it chain?
Please remove it or watch it drain

They're fire-breathing and I don't even know why
Maybe it's because there's no hope for me
