Divorce
Bob & Tom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

World is changing fast
While you try and fill your glass
Some adapt for monsters
That are only trying to dash
You won't forget it
If you learn it
Hard to shake habit
Once you have it
Go push the limits for what your
Body and mind can take

Blocking out everyone that I trust the mo-ost
Gotta pour a hot bath, make myself toast
I have a meeting with some
Thoughts that have been fleeting
Been so electric, feel my conscious keep receding
Putting up with less each year
Boxing up emotions here
Till the other side could be disproven
Who are you fooling
I know where I will be
I am not moving
I know where I will stay
I am not changing
I remain the same
You die calling it a phase

Don't stay spinning just for bright tomorrow
Careful who, careful who, careful who you follow
World is changing fast while you try and fill your glass
Some adapt for monsters that are only trying to dash
You won't forget it
If you learn it
Hard to shake habit
Once you have it
Go push the limits for what your
Body and mind can take

Blocking out everyone that I trust the most
Gotta pour a hot bath, make myself toast
I have a meeting with some
Thoughts that have been fleeting
Been too electric, feel my conscious keep receding
Putting up with less each year
Boxing up emotions here
Till the other side could be disproven
Who are you fooling

I know where I will stay
I am not moving




I remain the same
You die calling it a phase

Overall Meaning

The first verse of the song depicts the fast-changing world and how people are trying to cope with it - some by adapting to the monsters in their lives, while others prefer to fill up their glasses and forget their worries. The lyrics seem to suggest that it's essential to keep learning and keep pushing oneself to maximize their potential, even though it might be challenging to break old habits.


The second verse seems to depict someone struggling with their emotions and feeling all over the place. The lines "Putting up with less each year, boxing up emotions here" displays a person who is slowly breaking down emotionally and trying to hold in their feelings. However, they know where they want to be and who they are, and they are not willing to change or let anyone dictate their lives.


Overall, the song seems to be a message of hope, urging listeners not to get weighed down by life's challenges but to keep pushing forward and striving to be their best selves.

My tattoo is because I was a volunteer firefighter it's the firefighter cross with fire on top rescue on the bottom

Jeff Davis

I think it's adorable when volunteer firefighters think they are just as cool as full time firefighters. And only volunteer firefighters put lights on their personal vehicle and get fire tattoos. Couldn't get hired in full time so took a volunteer job and talks about it more than full time firefighters do.
