Scottie
Adhesive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A prisoner in a domestic jail. The same things happen every day.
I'm not going to live my life that way.
The more I see, the more I ask myself. Am I going to live my life that way?
Asocialized in a domestic jail, where no joy would enter my world.
I'm not going to live my life that way.
WHERE THE OUTSIDE WORLD IS BUT A DREAM?
NEVER A SIGHT OF ANY OTHER LIFEFORM,
SO SCOTTIE, PLEASE BEAM ME AWAY.
A prisoner in a domestic jail. The same things happen every day.
I'm not going to live my life that way.
IS MY WHOLE BEING...
The lyrics of Adhesive's song Scottie seem to be about feeling trapped in a monotonous and unfulfilling daily routine. The singer realizes that they do not want to continue living this way and they do not want to become a prisoner in their own home. They question whether their entire existence is based on isolation and wonder if they will ever experience anything different. The reference to "Scottie" is likely a nod to the Star Trek character Scotty, who was responsible for operating the transporter that could beam people from one place to another. The singer longs for this escape and begs Scotty to beam them away to a world where they can be free from their domestic jail.
The lyrics touch on themes of isolation, monotony, and the desire for change. The singer is aware that they do not want to be trapped in the same routine every day and they question the purpose of their existence. The reference to Scotty and the transporter also brings up themes of escapism and the desire to be transported to a better life. The overall message is one of hope for a better future and a willingness to break free from the chains of domesticity and routine.
