This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
we are the high street service trays / coming to take you away / pasadena 1968 / with speed on your breakfast plate / aunt cancer calls them happy pills / they keep her calm and cool until he leaves / the moccasin skin obsession leather thigh / white tennis skirt so high / the eyes of mine are new and kind / but the hair's not grey, it's white / and grandfather's an ascot noose / can't tie the tassels on his shoes / leave me / these are the red-eyed politics / the cocktail revisionists / war room rules: no wives or kids / here men sing the boy in them / the hedge casts heroes late across our lawn / the valley hunt militiamen, all gone / thought we had the lock in '54 / now the maid owns the house next door / and what's more / swims in the pool she used to clean / our new king looks like a queen / leave me / oh god stop tearing off the roof / of my experimental bathroom / it's the only thing that's halfway mine / and not for your prying and lying eyes / the empire's melting like ice cream / on the altar of the sun / this skin we've stretched for centuries / it's faded, it's fraying, it's meaningless to me

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
