Ever felt like you're stuck in a never-ending loop of confusion and chaos? This song captures that feeling perfectly. It paints a vivid picture of disillusionment with society's expectations and the constant search for meaning. The reference to Dylan Thomas, who famously drank himself to death, hints at the destructive allure of escapism. The lyrics explore themes of isolation, deception, and the struggle to maintain authenticity in a world full of pretense. With lines about being "greedy with this private hell" and "taking a shower at the Bates Motel," it’s clear that navigating life's complexities can feel both surreal and solitary. Ultimately, it's a raw reflection on trying to find one's way amid the noise and confusion.
Dylan Thomas
Lyrics
It was quite early one morning
Hit me without warning
I went to hear the general speak
I was standing for the anthem
Banners all around him
Confetti made it hard to see
Put my footsteps on the pavement
Starved for entertainment
Four seasons of revolving doors
So sick of being honest
I'll die like Dylan Thomas
A seizure on the barroom floor
I'm getting greedy with this private hell
I'll go it alone, but that's just as well
These cats are scared and feral
The flag pins on their lapels
The truth is anybody's guess
These talking heads are saying
"The king is only playing a game of four dimensional chess"
There's flowers in the rubble
The weeds are gonna tumble
I'm lucid but I still can't think
I'm strapped into a corset
Climbed into your corvette
I'm thirsty for another drink
If it's advertised, we'll try it
And buy some peace and quiet
And shut up at the silent retreat
They say you've gotta fake it
At least until you make it
That ghost is just a kid in a sheet
I'm getting used to these dizzy spells
I'm taking a shower at the Bates Motel
I'm getting greedy with this private hell
I'll go it alone, but that's just as well
