Coattails
BROODS Lyrics

I can't remember and I can't concentrate
My mind is not functioning properly, as I am unable to focus and recall things.

But I can take a note to permeate
Despite my forgetfulness, I can make a mental note of important things that can last beyond the present moment.

A hit between the eyes
There are moments when something impacts you strongly and deeply, often coming unexpectedly.

And if souls are meant to be sold
If one believes that their soul can be bought or compromised in exchange for something else, then they may pursue that course of action.

And if hands are only to hold
If we believe that our primary purpose or function is to hold or grasp onto things, then we may miss out on other possibilities.

That I can't do what I'm told
I may have difficulty obeying authority, conforming to societal expectations, or following strict rules.

So we'll ride the coattails to the finish line
We'll take advantage of opportunities, influences, or relationships that can facilitate or accelerate our progress towards a goal.

I don't hear those church bells chime anymore
There are things that used to appeal to me or matter to me, but they no longer have the same significance or impact.

'Cause I'm in love with this
I'm deeply enamored, passionate, or committed to something else that gives me greater satisfaction, fulfillment, or purpose.

For a moment I feel I'm losing it
There are times when I feel like I'm losing my grip or control, and things might fall apart or unravel.

Throw my temper down and bury it
I suppress, hide, or repress my emotions, especially anger or frustration, in order to avoid causing conflict or harm.

The earth will reach the sky
There are seemingly impossible or contradictory things that can happen, indicating that anything is possible, or that the boundaries we perceive are artificial.

If you talk me out of my needs
If someone tries to convince me to give up, forget, or ignore my true desires or requirements, it can be detrimental or limiting.

And stitch me up at the seams
If someone helps me heal my emotional or psychological wounds or insecurities, it may improve my wellbeing, but it is not a permanent solution.

Then I could live in my dreams
If I were to ignore or escape from reality, and focus solely on my fantasies or aspirations, I might find some temporary happiness or satisfaction.

In love, in love, in love
This repeated phrase emphasizes the intense and all-encompassing feeling of being in love or deeply passionate about something.
