the calm collective, i'm not protective
of your right, to be destroyed
unwash this man, he claims his further on deer heart
another way to prove your downfall
cured by pristine, fashion's dead but i'm still here somehow

i killed your dream, your little dream of middle school

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Roadside Monument's song "Tired of Living With People Who Are Tired of Living" reflect the struggles of the singer in dealing with the challenges of living in a world that seems to be constantly deteriorating. The opening line, "the calm collective, I'm not protective," suggests the singer's disillusionment with society's indifference towards the problems that plague individuals. It is a society that seems to have given up on itself - a theme that is carried throughout the song.


The second line "of your right, to be destroyed" adds to this sense of hopelessness. The singer acknowledges that it is a person's right to destroy themselves, but questions why this should be the case. The following line "unwash this man, he claims his further on deer heart" seems to suggest a longing for a simpler, more genuine existence that is closer to nature. However, this hope is quickly dashed by the line "another way to prove your downfall," which seems to suggest that even this ideal is unattainable.


The line "cured by pristine, fashion's dead but I'm still here somehow" shows the singer's disillusionment with materialism and consumerism. The mention of "fall trends for lease" adds to this perspective, suggesting that consumerism is a farce that people buy into every season. The line "I killed your dream, your little dream of middle school, three summers in Liverpool" may represent the singer's frustration with being stuck in a limited and predictable life, where even one's memories and desires are pre-determined.


Overall, the lyrics of "Tired of Living With People Who Are Tired of Living" express a sense of despair and frustration with the state of the world and a desire for a more authentic and meaningful existence.
