Muscle Memory
Dananananaykroyd Lyrics

Not for the first time
This experience has happened multiple times in the past.

Blood on the gym floor
There is a visible stain of blood on the floor of the gym.

Arcs like a rainbow round
The shape of the blood splatter takes the form of an arc similar to that of a rainbow.

Not so appalling
This experience may seem shocking, but it's not as bad as it could be.

To wring my own neck
To put pressure on oneself and push oneself to the limit.

Names on the gauze; absent
There are names written on the gauze, but the individuals associated with those names are not present.

Play along
To go through with the activity or task at hand.

'Cause I know the chords, muscle memory
I am able to do this confidently and without hesitation due to prior experience or repetition.

Wisdom
The ability to think and act using knowledge, experience, understanding, common sense, and insight.

Is clumsy
The process of acquiring wisdom can be awkward and difficult.

Enlightened
To reach a state of being fully aware and informed about a particular subject or situation.

By stereo evangelists listen
In this case, the source of enlightenment comes from listening to music.

To decode
To try and understand the hidden meanings behind the lyrics.

So badly
This process of deciphering the lyrics is not an easy one.

The meanings in allegory
The lyrics of the song are written in allegory, making it difficult to understand their true meaning.

Take what seems to get you down
Take what appears to be negative or depressing and use it to grow and become stronger.

And follow misinterpretations
To follow a flawed understanding or interpretation of something.

Gracious
Characterized by kindness, politeness, and respect.

But casual
To be friendly and relaxed in social situations.

Hang on
To pay close attention to what is being said or played.

To every word transmitted from playlists
To pay attention to every song on a playlist or album.

And albums
To pay attention to every song on an album.

Just knowing
To have the knowledge or understanding of something.

The fawning is just secondary
The compliments or adoration received from others are not as important as the music itself.

Left inhibitions at the door
To come into the situation without any restraints or fears.

Regrets are met with open arms
To be able to accept and move past one's regrets and mistakes with ease.

You'd like me better if I liked you less
If I weren't as interested in you, you might find me more attractive.

Clumsy
Awkward or uncoordinated in movement or action.

And awkward
Uncomfortable or embarrassed in social situations.

In public
In front of others.

You spill around in stationary motion
You are fidgety and nervous, but not actually going anywhere or doing anything.

Seasick
Feeling nauseous or dizzy as if on a boat in choppy waters.

From speaking
From expressing oneself verbally.

The morals of your influence
The principles or lessons that one's actions and words impart onto others.

Limbs cast fondly to the sea
To be romantically attached to or have an emotional connection to the sea or water in general.

Remember who you used to be?
A rhetorical question asking if the person has changed significantly from who they were in the past.
