False Start Lyrics
On a point in time-present undefined
And it's getting cold outside
Situation statistical for reasons you don't know
Just short of indecision
And it's getting cold outside
And it's getting cold outside
For your own trepidation
Refer to new perspexion
See yourself as others see you
In reverse red can appear blue
Wanna go outside
Don't you wanna go outside
Been stuck inside your room
So stranded-like and full of doom all year
Time out for good behavior
Adds up to what you want it to
What you wanna, what you
Wanna do
What informs a motivation
Casual or obligation-ficticious circumstance
Suspending all your future plans
Wait for you outside
If this false started motion
Believes its own propulsion
Transcending space and time
Then I'll wait for you outside
Then I'll wait for you outside
Been so long since I've seen you
So much has changed, you sound the same
We're meeting at this place, I wanna see you,
See you race again
We're all waiting, we're all waiting here
And it's getting cold outside
Situation statistical for reasons you don't know
Just short of indecision
And it's getting cold outside
And it's getting cold outside
Refer to new perspexion
See yourself as others see you
In reverse red can appear blue
Wanna go outside
Don't you wanna go outside
So stranded-like and full of doom all year
Time out for good behavior
Adds up to what you want it to
What you wanna, what you
Wanna do
Casual or obligation-ficticious circumstance
Suspending all your future plans
Wait for you outside
If this false started motion
Believes its own propulsion
Transcending space and time
Then I'll wait for you outside
Then I'll wait for you outside
So much has changed, you sound the same
We're meeting at this place, I wanna see you,
See you race again
We're all waiting, we're all waiting here

I think this song is about seeing an old friend again and getting second chances. And alice in wonderland is wrong: Bikini Kill is spelled as TWO words. Duh.
This song is, if you are familiar with (BK’s drummer) Tobi Vail’s band, The Frumpies, a kind of sister song to Deliberate Indifference. While the Frumpies song is about an old friend who you feel nostalgic about but they are like a different person now and their new friends are the reason, this song is also nostalgic about an old friend who has changed. However, it isn’t an outside influence but their own mind that keeps this person from going out of the house, seizing the moment. (Incidentally, I am almost positive that it’s not “situation statistical” but “situation statical” which makes a lot more sense. She’s saying “see yourself as others see you.” As someone who they want to be around (“I’ll wait for you outside”). I could write 2000 more words but this is incredibly difficult on an iphone. I guess if you want to hear more or want me to dissect another song (i have an M.A. in English Lit and this is literally all I did for 6 years: dissection of words strung together) let me know.
This song is great!! Its not in the same style as they'r other song but still great!!
Bikinikill is written in one word NOT Bikini Kill
It's a song written for somebody who has been imprisoned, duh.
