III
Banana Roadkill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Time is something we don't have
Fights we do lose to ourselves
Stuck in my head
Stop spending so much time in my head
Stuck with myself but how you left is what stays
Try to tell myself that it was ok
Can't get rid of
Try to remember
That time is something we don't have
The fights we do lose to ourselves
Stuck in my head
Like a stain i can't wash out
I'm marked for them all
It was easy to choose but hard to take a stand
When the side you're on questions everything
I didn't understand it took me years to
Still not sure I really do
Can't get rid of
Try to remember
That time is something we don't have
The fights we do lose to ourselves
Stuck in my head
Like a stain i can't get rid of
I'm trying to remember
Time is something we don't have
Like a stain i can't get rid of
I'm marked for them all
The lyrics to Banana Roadkill's song "III" seem to describe a struggle with the past and a desire to move forward. The singer acknowledges that time is precious and that they often get stuck in their own thoughts and conflicts. They seem to be haunted by the memory of someone who has left their life and are struggling to come to terms with it.
The lines "Stop spending so much time in my head, stuck with myself but how you left is what stays" indicate a sense of regret or maybe even resentment towards the person who left. The singer is trying to convince themselves that it's okay to hold onto these thoughts and feelings, but they can't seem to shake them. The repeated refrain of "can't get rid of" reinforces this feeling of being unable to move on.
There also seems to be a struggle with identity and taking a stance. The line "it was easy to choose but hard to take a stand when the side you're on questions everything" hints at a conflict over personal beliefs and values. The singer is uncertain and has struggled with this for years, which suggests a deep internal conflict.
Overall, the song feels like a raw and honest expression of the difficulties of letting go of the past and moving forward with conviction.
