Complete Lyrics

Taxi!
Request for a taxi service

746 Whitfords Ave
Address given for the destination

Sweet
An expression of gratitude or contentment

Hey mate, how's your night been, busy as hell?
A friendly conversation starter, acknowledging the driver's hard work

I guess it's always pretty busy in the city at 12
An observation about the usual busy nature of the city at midnight

My friend was meant to get me in a shitty Excel
Explanation for needing a taxi due to friend's unreliability

But that idiot fell asleep ′cause he was pissy as well
Further elaboration on friend's state causing inconvenience

Well, anyway, what time did you start your shift?
A shift of topic to inquire about the driver's working hours

Do you charge a bit more when you're driving it after 6?
A request for information on pricing during certain hours

I'm just happy for finding a faster lift
An expression of gratitude for taxi's convenience compared to previous plans

I'm off to see my sister, she's finding it hard to live
Explanation for the destination and situation of the passenger's sister

A while back, she was drunk at a mates event
Details of the sister's previous events that led to her current state

Just having a good time with a bunch of her greatest friends
Further description of sister's prior gathering

She later went to leave and was slumped on a stranger then
Explanation of how the sister met her attacker

He must have just raped her
A grim realization of the attacker's actions

She was flung to the gray cement
Description of the violent nature of the attack

And I could see she was covered in grazes
Physical evidence of the sister's struggle

When she walked in the door naked
Further description of the sister's state upon returning home

Her stutters not making sense
Observation of the sister's disoriented state due to trauma

She tried to wash off all the blood but her face was drenched
Attempt made by the sister to clean herself up but to no avail

Whoever the fuck did that is a disgrace to men, aye
An expression of anger towards the attacker

But anyway, I know that I'm oversharing
Acknowledgment of the personal and heavy nature of the conversation

Can I wind the window down to hopefully blow some air in?
A request to adjust the window for comfort

Thanks mate, this weather is fucking shit
An expression of frustration with the current weather conditions

The sweating can suck a dick, oh don't you condone the swearing
A comment on sweating caused by the weather, with a self-aware note on cursing

Sorry man, my brain's in a strange state
Apology for passenger's emotional state affecting the conversation

I'm just picturing my sister in pain in that lane way
An explanation for the passenger's current mental state

That lane way where she fainted and stayed laid down
Further details of the location of the attack

Till her mates found her and came to her aid, great
A positive note on how the sister was ultimately saved

Now I'm crying and I'm looking like a grumpy bastard
The passenger is emotional and recognizes how he may appear to others

My heart sunk when they took her to my mum's apartment
A sad moment when the sister was taken to the passenger's mother's home

At first, I mistook her for a drunken harlot
A mistake made due to the sister's disheveled appearance

I wanna know who even put her with the cunt to start with
A frustrated inquiry about how the sister ended up in that situation

Ah shit, we're getting close to the destination
A reminder of nearing the end of the ride

Sorry for rambling, I bet you're hoping for extra payment
An apology for going on about personal matters and acknowledging the possibility of a larger fare

The next left is the exit bro and the rest is straight then
Direction given to the driver for the destination

Yeah this road, go extra slow, I respect your patience
A request to drive slowly out of respect for the location

It's hard to spot it 'cause the area's dim, wait
A difficulty in finding the right location due to poor lighting

There it is on the left, a little scary and grim
An observation and description of the cemetery where the sister was buried

But just park up here, this is where she has been
Direction to the driver to stop at the correct location

This is the cemetery that we buried her in
Confirmation of the location being the sister's burial site

Where to begin? Well she died like a month ago
A difficult beginning to explain the circumstances surrounding the sister's death

All those bad memories in her mind while she hung the rope
Insight into the sister's state of mind leading up to her death

And right beside where she was tied, lied her fucking phone
Discovery of the sister's phone near where she took her own life

I went through it just to try find some comfort, bro
An attempt to find some solace by looking through the sister's phone

Just to know any messages she sent, any comments, any notes or efforts from sweet friends
A hope to find communication with loved ones that could bring comfort

The camera had an incredibly clean lens
An observation on the phone's camera quality

So I looked at all her photos and then I just seemed tense
The emotional tension felt by the passenger while viewing his sister's photos

I'll leave when I've told you this, what I'm trying to say
A promise to leave soon, and a transition into important information

Is on the night this guy had raped her and tried to drive away
Revelation of the attacker's actions and escape

As he left, she got a photo of his license plate
The sister captured evidence of the attacker

That's why you're gonna die today! MOTHERFUCKER!
A sudden threat and intense expression of anger towards the attacker
