185 Drop
Brick Mortar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And how serene your friends and fiends
We flew and strolled as two, illuminated gently
Why don't you close your eyes and reinvent me?
You knew you got that heart made of stone
You shoulda let me know
You coulda let me know
We'll go 'till morning comes
And traffic grows
And windows hum
Spending all week with your friends
Give me evenings and weekends
Evenings and weekends
I could be yours
We can unwind
All these half floors
All these half floors
You'd agree it's a typical high
You fly as you watch your name go by
And once a name goes by
Not thicker than water nor thicker than mud
And the eight k thuds it does
Sunset so thickly
Let's make it quiet and quickly
Don't frown
Tastes better on the way back down
I could be yours
We can unwind
All these half floors
All these half floors
All these half floors
Will lead to mine
We are all curious
We can unwind
All these half floors
All these half floors
Will lead to mine
Will see to
All these half floors
All these half floors
Will see to
All these half floors
Will lead to mine
We can unwind all half floors
The lyrics of Brick Mortar's song "185 Drop" can be interpreted as the singer expressing their curiosity and interest in someone they have met in crowded scenes. There is a sense of longing and desire to be closer to this person, reflected in the lyrics "Why don't you close your eyes and reinvent me?" The singer is drawn to the serene nature of this person's friends and intimates that they have spent time together in the past, describing their experience as "flew and strolled as two, illuminated gently."
However, there seems to be a sense of frustration with this person's heart made of stone, and the singer wishes that they had let them know. The lyrics "We'll go 'till morning comes, and traffic grows, and windows hum" suggest a desire to escape from the bustle of everyday life and spend time alone with this person. The singer wants to spend evenings and weekends with them but it appears as though they are too busy spending time with their friends.
The latter half of the song describes a typical high where the singer and this person fly as they watch their name go by. The lyrics "Sunset so thickly, let's make it quiet and quickly" suggest a desire to slow down and take things more slowly. Overall, the song conveys a sense of longing, frustration, and desire for a deeper connection with someone.
