Warehouse
Dave and Tim Lyrics

So I'm leaving...
I want to leave this warehouse that makes me feel scared and restless all the time.

Has me tied up in knots,
This place emotionally overwhelms me and traps me in fear and anxiety.

Can't rest for a moment.
I can't find peace or calmness in this warehouse.

Soon I'm going...
I am leaving this place slowly, seeking something better and happier.

I'm slipping slow away
My departure from here will be gradual and not abrupt.

Hoping to find something better than
I am searching to find something that brings me more joy and fulfillment than what I have here.

I've got inside here
I am unhappy with the way things are in this warehouse.

And the warehouse slips away...
The warehouse is becoming less important and relevant to me as I move on.

Hey reckless mind
Addressing my mind, which is impulsive and careless at times.

Don't throw away your playful beginning
Don't let your playful spirit get lost or forgotten as you get older.

You and I will fumble around in the touches
We will explore and experiment with physical intimacy and affection in our relationship.

And be sure to...
Continue our playful and adventurous attitude towards life and love.

Leave all the lights on
Do not be afraid of the unknown, keep your eyes open and aware of your surroundings.

So we can see the black cat changing colors
Experience and appreciate the beauty of the world, even in its darker or mysterious aspects (such as the changing colors of a black cat).

And we can walk under ladders
Do not let superstitions or irrational fears control our actions or decisions.

And swim as the tide turns you around and around
Embrace the changes and unpredictability of life as it ebbs and flows like the tide in the ocean.

Hey we have found
We have discovered something significant or meaningful.

Becoming one in a million
Feeling unique and special in our connection with each other, while also recognizing our place within the larger world.

Slip into the crowd
Blend into the masses and society at large, while still maintaining our individuality and authenticity.

This question I found in the gap in the sidewalk
Discovering a deeper philosophical or existential inquiry in an unexpected or mundane place (like a crack in the sidewalk).

Keep all your sights on
Stay aware and attentive to your surroundings, even in uncertain or dangerous situations.

The black cat changing colors
Experience the beauty or mystery in things that may seem frightening or unusual at first.

We can walk under ladders
Do not let superstitions or irrational fears control our actions or decisions.

And swim as the tide choose to turn you
Embrace the changes and unpredictability of life, even if it may take us in unexpected or difficult directions.

And here I sit
I am currently sitting, reflecting on my life.

Life goes on, end of tunnel, TV set
Life continues without any significant changes or breakthroughs, sometimes feeling monotonous or uninspired.

Spot in the middle
The center or focal point of something.

Static fade, statistic bit
Static noise (like on a TV screen) fading out, representing our lives becoming less meaningful or important as time goes on.

And soon I'll fade away, I'll fade away
I feel like I am disappearing or becoming irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

This I admit
Acknowledging something that may be difficult or embarrassing to admit.

Taste so good, hard to believe an end to it
This experience or sensation feels good and positive, making it hard to accept that it won't last forever.

Smell touch feel
The sensory aspects of our experiences that create a deeper connection or meaning.

How could this rhythm ever quit
The natural flow or pattern of things that we enjoy or find comfort in.

Bags packed on a plane
Prepared to leave this place or situation and start anew.

Hopefully to heaven
Looking forward to a positive or joyful experience in the next phase of life.

Shut up I'm thinking
Asking for silence or privacy to think and reflect on something important.

I had a clue now it's gone forever
I had a piece of information or insight that helped guide me, but it is now lost or forgotten.

Sitting over these bones
Reflecting on the past or the things that have led me to this moment.

You can read in whatever you're needing to
Find whatever meaning or significance you need in these memories or experiences.

It's not the colors that matter
The external or superficial aspects of things are not what determine their true value or significance.

But that they'll all fade away
Everything in life is temporary and will eventually disappear or lose its importance.

Seems so full
This experience or sensation is rich and fulfilling.

Warehouse is bare
The warehouse (representing a place or experience) is now empty and devoid of meaning or significance.

Nothing at all inside of it
There is no longer anything meaningful or important in this place or experience.

Walls and halls have disappeared, they've disappeared
The physical or emotional boundaries that once defined this experience are now gone, leaving nothing left.

My love I love to stay here
Expressing a desire to stay in a place (real or metaphorical) that feels comfortable and familiar.

In a corner was wondering...
Feeling unsure or uncertain about something, perhaps feeling trapped or confined.

If a change could be better than this
Questioning whether making a change would improve the current situation.

And then I worry
Feeling anxious or concerned about the unknown or potential negative consequences of change.

Maybe things won't be better than they have been here
Expressing reluctance or fear about making a change.

At the warehouse
Referring back to the physical or metaphorical place that the song has been exploring.

Every man and woman get alive
Encouraging people to awake and embrace life in all its joys and challenges.

That's our blood down there
The shared human experience that connects us all and runs through generations.

Seems poured from the hands of angels
Describing the beauty and wonder of this shared experience in a cosmic or divine way.

But trickle into the ground
The transience and fragility of this shared experience.

Leaves the warehouse bare and empty
Reflecting on the fleeting nature of the human experience and how it can leave us feeling empty or unfulfilled.

My heart's numbered beat
The finite nature of life and the inevitability of our own mortality.

Still echo in this empty room
Even after we are gone, the impression we make on the world (our history, legacy, or memory) continues to resonate.

Fear wells in me
Feeling anxious or frightened about the unknown or uncertain future.

But nothing seems enough to defend
Feeling helpless or vulnerable in the face of these fears, unable to find a way to protect ourselves from the unknown.

So I am going away...
Acknowledging the uncertainty and impermanence of life, and the need to accept and adapt to change.
