Monrovia
Underwater Getdown Lyrics

Do you want to go for a ride
Asking if someone wants to go out and have some fun.

We can leave today
Suggesting that they don't need to wait to go and enjoy themselves.

We can take my yellow car
Offering to use their own personal vehicle to get around in.

And we'll just take a day off work
Proposing the idea of taking a break from work to enjoy the day.

No one will notice anyway
Stating that no one will miss them while they're gone.

Our hands will dance upon the breeze
Describing the feeling of the wind brushing against their skin as they drive.

The windows opened up too far
Revealing that the windows are open too wide for their own good.

We can take the train
Offering another mode of transportation to go out and have fun.

All across the frisco bay
Explaining where the train ride will take them - across the San Francisco Bay.

And when the traffic starts and stops
Referring to the frustration of being stuck in traffic.

With all its music tied in knots
Describing the sound of honking horns and other city noises.

And when the stoplight turns to green
Referring to the excitement of finally being able to move again.

The city's borne into a new scene
The city takes on a new look and feel once they reach their destination.

Cracks crawling the walls
Describing the run-down state of the place they're in.

Reaching out for the miracles
Expressing hope for something better in the face of this destruction.

The trees are bowing their heads to you
A metaphor for nature paying attention to them.

And the whispered pride is still in your mind
A sense of satisfaction still remains in their thoughts despite the challenges around them.

We should leave right now
Emphasizing the desire to act and leave immediately.

We can take the city bus
Proposing another mode of transportation to get around.

Ten thousand people wait in line
Describing the crowdedness of public transportation.

Their hopes might fail them any day
Highlighting the fact that the people around them might be struggling with their own problems.

I'll fall asleep against the glass
Admitting to feeling comfortable and at home on public transportation.

And through the tint I'll see our lives pass
Looking out of the window and reflecting on their life passing by.

I will not give you anything
Refusing to give in to someone's demands or expectations.

I'd rather throw this all away
Choosing to let go of everything rather than be dishonest or insincere.

Goddamn your two faced open song
Cursing someone for being deceitful or hypocritical.

You're not worth the blood that's in your face
Devaluing someone and not seeing them as worthy.

And when the time comes down to choose
Foreshadowing a decision they will have to make.

Between your words and what you do
Having to choose between someone's words and their actions.

You won't have anything to say
The person they are talking about won't have a valid explanation for their behavior.

And we're still waiting for the truth
The truth is yet to be revealed, but they are waiting for it to come to light.

The car is burgeoning
The car is filled with people or things and is almost overflowing.

And so are your eyes
Suggesting that their eyes are also full, perhaps with tears or emotion.

Something's wrapped in this photograph
There is something important or sentimental about the photograph they are looking at.

We need alcohol to talk us all to sleep
Describing how they need to drink to be able to let their guard down and relax.
