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”
Talk about the weather
Will you miss me ever
Lately I'm obsessed and I need the rest
I hope that you're impressed but she's so pretty
I'm jealous
And she's lost like Alice in a painted past
In a looking glass
I see me looking back
I'll take another, "Drink me," baby
Slowly I'll disappear and wear my life like a barbed wire necklace
So let's play truth or dare
So you're a fan of Coltrane
Well I wanna be Kurt Cobain
When the truth gets scary I'll take my gin and sherry
And some, "Drink Me,"
There'll be Plath and Joplin with verse
Writing suiciders
Kennedy and Monroe come to see my rock show
I'll be there in the front row
I'll take another, "Drink me," baby
Slowly I'll disappear and wear my life like a barbed wire necklace
So let's play truth or dare
I won't be around to play your games
There will come a day when you won't know my name
I'll get smarterwWith every swallow
You'll wake tomorrow and things won't be the same
Talk about the weather
Will you miss me ever
Lately I'm obsessed and I need the rest
I hope that you're impressed because I need the rest
And my head's a mess
I need the rest
I need the rest
I need the rest
Will you miss me ever
Lately I'm obsessed and I need the rest
I hope that you're impressed but she's so pretty
I'm jealous
And she's lost like Alice in a painted past
In a looking glass
I see me looking back
I'll take another, "Drink me," baby
Slowly I'll disappear and wear my life like a barbed wire necklace
So let's play truth or dare
So you're a fan of Coltrane
Well I wanna be Kurt Cobain
When the truth gets scary I'll take my gin and sherry
And some, "Drink Me,"
There'll be Plath and Joplin with verse
Writing suiciders
Kennedy and Monroe come to see my rock show
I'll be there in the front row
I'll take another, "Drink me," baby
Slowly I'll disappear and wear my life like a barbed wire necklace
So let's play truth or dare
I won't be around to play your games
There will come a day when you won't know my name
I'll get smarterwWith every swallow
You'll wake tomorrow and things won't be the same
Talk about the weather
Will you miss me ever
Lately I'm obsessed and I need the rest
I hope that you're impressed because I need the rest
And my head's a mess
I need the rest
I need the rest
I need the rest
