What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Falling from the top floor your lungs
2
Fill like parachutes
3
Windows go rushing by.
4
People inside,
5
Dressed for the funeral in black and white.
6
These ties strangle our necks, hanging in the closet,
7
Found in the cubicle;
8
Without a name, just numbers, on the resume stored in the mainframe, marked for delete.
9
Please take these hands
10
Throw them in the river,
11
Wash away the things they never held
12
Please take these hands,
13
Throw me in the river,
14
Don't let me drown before the workday ends.
15
9 to 5! 9 to 5!
16
And we're up to our necks,
17
Drowning in the seconds,
18
Ingesting the morning commute
19
Lost in a dead subway sleep
20
Now we lie wide awake in our parents beds,
21
Tossing and turning.
22
Tomorrow we'll get up
23
Drive to work,
24
Single file
25
With everyday
26
It's like the last.
27
Waiting for the life to start, is it always just always ahead of the curve?
28
Please take these hands
29
Throw them in the river,
30
Wash away the things they never held
31
Please take these hands,
32
Throw me in the river,
33
Don't let me drown before the workday ends.
34
Just keep making copies
35
Of copies
36
Of copies
37
When will it end?
38
It'll never end,
39
'til it gets so bad
40
That the ink fills in our fingerprints
41
And the silhouette of your own face becomes the black cloud of war
42
And even in our dreams we're so afraid the weight will offset who we are
43
All those breaths that you took have now been canceled in your lungs.
44
Last night my teeth fell out like ivory typewriter keys
45
And all the monuments and skyscrapers burned down and filled the sea.
46
Save our ship
47
The anchor is part of the desk
48
We can't cut free,
49
The water is flooding the decks
50
The memo's sent through the currents
51
Computers spark like flares
52
I can see them.
53
They don't touch me,
54
Touch me.
55
Please someone,
56
Teach me how to swim.
57
Please, don't let me drown,
58
Please, don't let me drown.
