¿No Te De Ganas De Reir Senor Malverde?
John Murry Lyrics

The haze settles 'round this city
The smog covers this town, obstructing its beauty and trapping its inhabitants like a noose.

And chokes it like a noose
The smog suffocates the city, making it difficult for its residents to breathe.

All of us, we live and we die
Everyone experiences birth and death, regardless of their circumstances or choices.

We ain't gotta chose
We have no control over the inevitability of life and death.

So long ago, when I first saw you
Referring to a moment in time when the artist first fell in love.

Before it all began
Referring to the time before a significant event or life-changing experience occurred.

I fell in love, and I still remain
The singer still loves the person from long ago, despite time and distance.

Tattered and out of tune
The artist is worn down and out of sync with the world around them.

What keeps me alive is gonna kill me in the end
A paradoxical statement referring to something that sustains the artist's life but will ultimately lead to their demise.

'Cause nobody's baby is everybody's friend
A phrase suggesting that people tend to befriend those who are not involved in romantic relationships.

The ocean laps the seashore
The waves gently meet the shore.

In crystal blues and greens
The water shines in various shades of blue and green.

I wanna take you with me
The singer desires to share this experience with someone they love.

To stare into the sea
To gaze out at the vastness of the ocean.

What would it matter?
A question suggesting that the singer's wishes may not be important or may not come to pass.

You say you're doing fine
The artist is unsure of their loved one's true emotional state.

All these haunted memories of you
The artist is haunted by memories of their loved one.

Remnants of ghosts here in my mind
Memories of the loved one feel like ghosts that continue to linger in the singer's mind.

It all comes pouring out
The singer is overwhelmed by emotions and memories.

In these stagnant melodies
The emotions and memories are reflected in the repetitive tunes.

Don't act like you've been crucified
A warning not to feign or exaggerate emotional pain.

Only you can set us free
The artist suggests that their loved one holds the key to their emotional release.

Yeah, you can set us free
The singer repeats the previous line for emphasis.

I don't need nobody
The artist asserts their independence and self-reliance.

I'll tear down this machine
The singer is motivated to dismantle something that no longer serves them.

Then build it back with my bare hands
The singer desires to reconstruct something according to their vision and willpower.

Until it's all routine
The singer desires to create a familiar and comfortable pattern or habit.

I head out to the woods
The artist exits society and enters nature.

300 grains a shell
A reference to ammunition for a firearm.

Take the side of ignorance
The singer is willing to embrace a perspective that is not widely accepted or understood.

To blow the whole damn thing to hell
The singer desires to cause destruction with their actions.

I've said my vows in silence
The artist made a commitment or promise without vocalizing it.

I've cried your name in vain
The artist has expressed their love and longing for their loved one but has received no response or reciprocation.

I've stumbled through these city's streets
The artist has navigated the streets of the city while in emotional turmoil.

I've bathed my soul in rain
The singer has sought emotional respite through the cleansing effect of rainfall.

I want you back beside me
The artist desires physical and emotional proximity to their loved one.

The broken days have passed
The singer feels that a difficult period of time has ended.

Love is what we give
Love is the gift that humans have the ability to offer one another.

I wanna be your last
The singer desires to be their loved one's final romantic partner.

She's nobody's baby, but she's everybody's friend
A phrase suggesting that a woman is independent and self-reliant, but still valued and appreciated by many acquaintances and companions.
