Non-Shaped Pencil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feelin' like a raindrop drippin' down glass
I'm racing, going nowhere real fast
Racing, going nowhere real fast
Feelin' like a raindrop drippin' down glass
Feelin' like a raindrop drippin' down glass
I'm racing, going nowhere real fast
Racing, going nowhere real fast
No trick, no treat, but I'm wearing a mask
I'm hiding from my future, I'm running from my past
I look like shit, I feel like ass
I know they don't fuck with me, ion gotta ask
When will it end, how long will it last
How does time move slow and go by so fast
Whiskey in a flask, and a bag full of grass
Ima get wasted cause I'm feeling like trash
Feelin' like a raindrop drippin' down glass
Feelin' like a raindrop drippin' down glass
I'm racing, going nowhere real fast
Racing, going nowhere real fast
Feelin' like a raindrop drippin' down glass
Feelin' like a raindrop drippin' down glass
I'm racing, going nowhere real fast
Racing, going nowhere real fast
It's like I'm stuck in a race, and I'm running in place
And I smoke too much so I can't keep pace
I got clouds in my eyes, raindrops on my face
Feeling like my dreams don't wanna be chased
I feel like an oak tree growin in a vase
I'm a trophy in a case, I'm a joker n' an ace
Bitter thinkin bout everything I wanna taste
Champagne, gold flakes, leather in a wraith
Feelin' like a raindrop drippin' down glass
Feelin' like a raindrop drippin' down glass
I'm racing, going nowhere real fast
Racing, going nowhere real fast
Feelin' like a raindrop drippin' down glass
Feelin' like a raindrop drippin' down glass
I'm racing, going nowhere real fast
Racing, going nowhere real fast

The question of when it will all end and how time can feel both slow and fast further highlights the confusion and disorientation the singer feels.
