Squalloscope Lyrics

"time comes in particles" someone once said
The concept of time can be broken down into smaller units like particles.

And this is what i remember, this is how my brain works.
This is how the singer perceives and processes time.

You got all the facts and i got all the useless details.
The singer feels that they focus on trivial details while someone else has all the important information.

If i believe in anything i'd pray to the gods of injuries
The artist wishes to avoid any harm and injury from happening.

To stay out of our lives, except in times like these.
However, they acknowledge that sometimes pain and injury are necessary and cannot be avoided.

I put ships on rails, we put ourselves on trains,
The singer draws a comparison between the transportation of goods and people.

You put your trust into the world, i put my hand where it's safe.
The singer feels safer keeping their trust within their immediate surroundings, while others put their trust in the larger world.

My words form knots, your words form figure eights.
The artist's way of communicating is tangled, while others communicate more fluidly.

I'd like to multiply horizons from battlefields to the stage.
The artist wishes to expand their perspective from places of conflict to places of creativity and performance.

Who will we be the next time we meet?
The artist ponders on how they and the other person will have changed by the next time they meet.

With our cracked cuticles and our sharp teeth.
The singer references physical changes that may have occurred in the time elapsed between encounters.

All things hidden in the mouth of the wolverine.
The artist alludes to the idea of the unexpected and unknown which may come into play during the next time they meet.

All things playful and mean.
Despite the unpredictable nature of the future, the singer acknowledges the potential for good and bad outcomes.

I got my bridges built.
The singer has made their connections and built their relationships, ready to face any challenges that come their way.

You won't become numb, i won't stay the same.
Both parties acknowledge the inevitability of change for each other.

If i try hard enough i can cry paper planes
The artist is trying to convey the extent of their emotions, even if it may seem unrealistic.

And we'll connect the dots in the history books
The artist imagines the story of their lives being pieced together in the future through their experiences.

And you'll see the bigger picture, i'll shrink down the greater good.
The singer expects the other person to see the overall picture, while they focus on micro-level important issues.

We keep our fingers crossed all the way through the evening news.
The singer highlights the importance of hope in a time of uncertainty.

I promise ankle anthems sitting drunk on the kitchen floor.
The artist reminisces on past memories of singing and times of revelry, while also acknowledging their current state of drunkenness.

So let's bite our lips and grab our wrists and sing.
The artist implores the other person to join them in a bonding experience through singing and action.

I think a storm is moving in.
The artist notices an impending chaos and possible trouble in the future.

So watch out for our favorite apocalypse.
The singer dryly references the potential danger and tumultuousness of their lives.

Can you do me a favor? can you do me a favor?
The artist requests something from the other person twice, emphasizing its importance.

Can you give me one cent for everything that doesn't make any sense?
The singer entreats the other person to financially compensate them for their inability to understand things hovering on craziness.

Can you do me a favor? i could be a rich woman by now.
The singer half-jokingly imagines the wealth they could accumulate if the other person granted their request.
