Seattle
The Classic Crime Lyrics

My [Incomprehensible], my life is dull
The singer's life feels unfulfilling and difficult to understand.

And dried up like the sound of voice makes
The singer feels drained and lifeless, like the sound of a voice that hasn't been used in a while.

When the heart grows cold and it?s going that way
The singer's emotions have become numb and distant, and things are only getting worse.

I think I?ll move out of state somewhere far from Seattle
The singer wants to leave Seattle and start over somewhere new.

City lights, they burn my eyes
Seattle's bright city lights are overwhelming and painful.

California sounds nice but California?s a lie
Although California might sound appealing, it's not as perfect as it seems.

Maybe I'm out of luck or maybe I'm just blind, oh this time
The singer is struggling to find success and doesn't know if it's due to bad luck or his own shortcomings.

Rain on my hopes, rain on my soul
The singer feels like his dreams and emotions are being crushed by constant rain.

Rain on everything that I know
The rain is a metaphor for the never-ending difficulties that the singer faces in his life.

It feels so ludicrous, the pursuit of this dream
The singer wonders if his dream of making it as a musician is foolish and unachievable.

We thought we?d be there long ago
The singer and his bandmates expected to have achieved more success by now.

My life is like a rolling river, so muddy and absurd
The singer's life feels like a turbulent and confusing river that he can't control.

And although I might be mistaken I know that I?ll be heard
Even if the singer is wrong about his chances of success, he believes he will ultimately find a way to be heard.

And I find the second I try to pull away
Whenever the singer tries to escape his difficulties, he gets pulled back in.

I'm thrown back in line, oh, this time
It seems like the singer can never break free from his struggles and is forced to continue down a path he doesn't want to be on.

And we're all looking for
The singer recognizes that everyone is searching for something.

The same thing, the same thing
No matter what people are searching for, it ultimately boils down to the same basic desire for happiness and fulfillment.

Seattle is calling me
Despite his difficulties, the singer feels a pull towards Seattle and is considering returning there.

Back home, back home, so
Seattle feels like home to the singer, even if he has mixed feelings about it.
