Murray Pete Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Passin' time you've come so far but you're still behind
Lose your mind if you cut this line
It's just the way it's been
All your friends and all their sins
Just passin' time don't fall behind

I will come for you
If you call I'll come right now

I will help you see through
All your pained and troubled times
Just to know I'll be there if you ever decide to call

Passin' time all your addictions are so sublime
Lose your mind if you cross the line
It's just the way it's been
All your friends and all their sins
Just passin' time don't fall behind

I will come for you
If you call I'll come right now
I will help you see through
All your pained and troubled times
Just to know I'll be there if you ever decide to call

I'll be there for you
If you ever call
I'll be there for you
Anytime at all

Passin' time, just passin' time
(You've come so far)
(You've come so far)
(You've come so far)
(You've come so far)

(You've come so far)
(You've come so far)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Murray Pete's song "Lines" appear to convey a message of support and camaraderie for a friend struggling with addiction and mental health issues. The opening lines set the theme - the singer acknowledges that the friend has made progress ("you've come so far"), but adds that they still have some way to go ("you're still behind"). The repeated warning not to "cross the line" or "fall behind" suggests that the friend is in a fragile state, and the implication is that their well-being is linked to avoiding situations or behaviours that could trigger a relapse.

The chorus is reassuring in tone, with the singer promising to be there for their friend "if you ever decide to call". The lyrics suggest that the friend is not alone in their addiction struggles ("all your friends and all their sins"), and that the singer understands the mentality and allure of addictive behaviour ("all your addictions are so sublime"). Overall, the song conveys a sense of empathy and compassion, with the singer portraying themselves as a reliable and non-judgemental friend.
