Quite simply put, this is a song about not being able to write a song.
lyrics
-Verse 1-
It used to be so easy
A fresh idea on an empty canvas
And never knowing what the plan is
But now to put it simply
I’ve traveled to a distant planet
And I’m trying to learn their native language
-Pre Chorus 1-
I smack my head against the desk
And punch the pillow case
Tear the papers all to shreds
Got no time to erase
-Chorus-
I fall asleep dejected
When everyone is waking up
And I wonder
Have I lost the touch
-Verse 2-
It’s become so obnoxious
I’ll try to put my thoughts to words
But the shit that comes out fucking burns
I guess I’ll count my losses
The reservoir is running dry
And I cannot find the reason why
-Pre Chorus 2-
I’ve always been a dreamer
Wishing things would go my way
But I’m at a time where I’m at a loss
For what I want to say
