"time & all you took
only my freedom to fuck the whole world
promising not to look
promising light on the sidewalk girls"
kimber, this is my take on the "sidewalk girls" stanza. the speaker is angry because he can't seem to get over this girl, and imagines all the things he is missing out on. the "sidewalk girls" represent all the girls he sees, and thinks are attractive, but cannot approach because of all the emotional baggage he's still carrying from the previous relationship.
"promising not to look" means that he feels guilty for checking out girls, because on some level he still feels like he should be faithful to the girl he has lost, even though she is gone; he still feels like he belongs to her.
