Cup Of Tea Lyrics

I'm visiting
The ground's a little weathered where I
Stood right field in my neighborhood
I was mostly last
Always least dig it
At graduation everyone
Will throw their hats into sun
Then they'll drop like flies to the sea
This is not my cup of tea

And valerie
The winter won't be keeping her around
I'm naining leaves to the ground
But it feels like sand underneath
Dig it

She's never letting me forget
I've always been an idiot
And at times like this I agree
This is not my cup of tea

Crash
In a wrinkle of steel we are gone
Will my last breath be a yawn
Watching then sorting febris
This is not my cup of tea

I think this song is about someone who was in a near death or fatal car accident, and as they're lying there in the wreckage, they look back on their life.

To me, it's about not wanting to go down the same path as everyone else. Everyone he will graduate high school with will drop off like flies in the sea. They will become irrelevant, like everyone else in this so-called life.

The second verse is basically saying that he doesn't want to go out and get a normal job, like everyone else because he will be viewed as being dumb, accomplishing nothing and wasting his time.

The last verse is him fearing that he could die in a car wreck, like anyone else, and he would regret not having accomplished anything in his life.

A normal life isn't what he wants. He wants to go do something and be remembered instead of rotting away where he is currently.
