I want to leave this fucking town
Smoking til my lungs are brown
Watch the time just melt away
Watch the colors fade away

Line by Line Meaning
Do you want to waste away
Are you willing to let yourself deteriorate and become insignificant
You never want to feel the same
You constantly seek new experiences and want to avoid monotony
I want to leave this fucking town
I desire to escape from this suffocating and undesirable place
Smoking til my lungs are brown
Engaging in excessive smoking until my lungs become damaged and unhealthy
Watch the time just melt away
Observing how time passes quickly and effortlessly
Watch the colors fade away
Witnessing the gradual disappearance of vibrancy and vitality
