In Between
Surf Rock is Dead Lyrics

The lyrics of "In Between" by Surf Rock is Dead evoke a sense of longing, reflection, and change. The opening lines, "The only thing that was in the way / Was not clear, please show," suggest a point of confusion or uncertainty that hindered progress or understanding. The singer desires clarity and guidance to overcome this obstacle.

The next lines, "And everything they said we couldn't be / I shed my fear, you know," convey a sense of defiance and personal growth. Despite being told what they couldn't achieve, the singer has let go of their fear and proven these limitations wrong.

The repetition of "Go home" reflects a longing for familiarity and returning to a place where they used to be. This could be both a physical and metaphorical manifestation of seeking comfort or finding oneself again. The mention of "missed jokes" and "shadows" filling the air in between suggests a sense of disconnectedness, as if the singer is caught between their past and present, unable to fully belong to either.

The reference to the brightness of the city and the statement that "things have changed, so mad" indicates a shift in circumstances and a feeling of disapproval or frustration with these transformations. The line "Everyone you know, can only be / Prearranged, so sad" suggests a sense of artificiality and the loss of genuine connections in a world that seems predetermined or staged.

The final two verses express a sense of loss and the fleeting nature of memories. The line "My voice is gone / Washed away" implies a feeling of powerlessness or being unheard in the current state of affairs. The mention of returning home not feeling the same suggests that even familiar surroundings are altered, perhaps due to the passage of time or personal growth. The lyrics depict a bittersweet introspection about the changing nature of life and the significance of memories in shaping our identity.
