Offbeat
TrunkWeed Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sinking, sinking into thought loops, swaying back and forth and falling Out of tune.

Thinking back to, when I found you, drifting out to space and losing altitude.

Faintly fading, faster, farther each year, though I still remember when You used to be here.

Wondering what would happen if I
(Shh),

Blawh!
screamed

Out of key, you lost yourself, in your
(Shh)
Blawh!
Dreams

Shh
Shh

Ohhawhuf beat

Shh

F***

Offbeat, lost rhythm, you're not fine
Repeat, retreat into your dying mind
csleep, not waking up this time.

Distanced Human, disillusioned to no end.
Distant Human, I will always call you "friend”.
