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”
i'm sick of it and i'm i'm ready no doubt
i'm gonna get over this, over and done
gonna go mess me up, until that i'm gone
it's not far until it's over and done
yet i am the lucky one holding cop beside my mind
but it's hard to get shreaded so fast i'm falling behind
now they are announcing me married to my guilt
and they're right, i could never find one better - i've tried
could you do it for me, somebody to notice,
could you do it for me, somebody to notice,
do you really need somebody to notice?
could you do it for me?
could you do me instead?
cop's dead
on the other hand, no way and no how
i'm gonna get over myself, over and done
it tasted bitter for me, so how is it for you?
can you swallow it whole or is it too much too soon?
i'm talking 'bout the bitch in me, the cop in you
the things i feel that i need to prove
and that judgement that must come later on
yes i'm talking 'bout my fading looks, my ugly skin,
and the way she pushes that needle in
and that i'll never be the way i once was
can't you do it for me, somebody to notice
could you do it for me, i'm somebody to notice
do you really need, somebody to notice?
could you do it for me?
could you do me instead?
cop's dead
cop's dead
the bitch in me, the cop in you
the things i feel that i need to prove
and that judgement that must come later on
cop's dead
i'm gonna get over this, over and done
gonna go mess me up, until that i'm gone
it's not far until it's over and done
yet i am the lucky one holding cop beside my mind
but it's hard to get shreaded so fast i'm falling behind
now they are announcing me married to my guilt
and they're right, i could never find one better - i've tried
could you do it for me, somebody to notice,
could you do it for me, somebody to notice,
do you really need somebody to notice?
could you do it for me?
could you do me instead?
cop's dead
on the other hand, no way and no how
i'm gonna get over myself, over and done
it tasted bitter for me, so how is it for you?
can you swallow it whole or is it too much too soon?
i'm talking 'bout the bitch in me, the cop in you
the things i feel that i need to prove
and that judgement that must come later on
yes i'm talking 'bout my fading looks, my ugly skin,
and the way she pushes that needle in
and that i'll never be the way i once was
can't you do it for me, somebody to notice
could you do it for me, i'm somebody to notice
do you really need, somebody to notice?
could you do it for me?
could you do me instead?
cop's dead
cop's dead
the bitch in me, the cop in you
the things i feel that i need to prove
and that judgement that must come later on
cop's dead
