Scratchcard Lanyard Lyrics

Many years have passed but you're still charming
Rose falling and exploding
And you can't save the world on your own
I guess

Don't send me it
You keep it
You keep it

You keep it

Weak arms, can't open the door
Kung fu council
It'll be okay, I just need to be weird and hide for a bit
And eat an old sandwich from my bag

I've come here to make a ceramic shoe
And I've come to smash what you made
I've come to learn how to mingle
I've come to learn how to dance
I've come to join your knitting circle
I've come to hand-weave my own bunkbed ladder
In a few short sessions

It's a Tokyo bouncy ball
It's an Oslo bouncy ball
It's a Rio de Janeiro bouncy ball
Filter, I love these mighty oaks, don't you?
Do everything and feel nothing
Wristband, theme park, scratch card, lanyard
Do everything and feel nothing
Do everything and feel nothing

Pat dad on the head
Alright you big loudmouth
And thanks very much for the Twix

I think of myself as a hardy banana
With that waxy surface
And small delicate flowers
A woman in aviators firing a bazooka
A woman in aviators firing a bazooka

I've come here to make a ceramic shoe
And I've come to smash what you made
I've come to learn how to mingle
I've come to learn how to dance
I've come to join the knitting circle

That's just child chat
Why don't you want oven chips now?

It's a Tokyo bouncy ball
It's an Oslo bouncy ball
It's a Rio de Janeiro bouncy ball
Filter, I love these mighty oaks, don't you?
Do everything and feel nothing
Wristband, theme park, scratch card, lanyard
Do everything and feel nothing
Do everything and feel nothing

You seem really together
You've got a new coat
New hair
Well, I'll tell you one thing
You've got it coming
One day, you're gonna get it
Ha

What is the Meaning of Scratchcard Lanyard?

Picture a quirky art student who's just discovered the existential crisis aisle at their local grocery store. That’s the vibe here. Our charismatic narrator muses on life’s charming absurdities, leaping from ceramics to bouncy balls with the grace of a gazelle—and possibly the same attention span. With lyrics like “do everything and feel nothing,” it’s a sardonic take on modern life's emptiness amid endless activities. The song offers a buffet of whimsical imagery, from knitting circles to aviator-bespectacled rebels, each serving a side of bemused detachment. It's like if existential dread got tangled up with avant-garde art and decided to have a Twix break. Dry Cleaning delivers a monologue that’s part stream-of-consciousness comedy, part deadpan diary entry, and wholly an anthem for anyone who's ever felt out of sync in a world obsessed with doing it all.
