It’s one progression throughout all the song: ( ) Whats a matter with going places? Take that gross look off your faces Empty loving makes me seasick What youre here for I dont need it I’ll say nothing on your microphone Till you swear to take me home Theres a one foot boy eleven stone He’s sitting on my shoulder Im too scared to look away He comes here almost everyday And everyday I push him off and tell him boy were over MY OH MY I think my mind is gone I’m left here wondering Was I crazy all along? What do I do? Nothing left but pray Gonna shoot somebody Help me drive this craziness away Im happy on my own One foot boy! One foot boy! One foot boy! One foot boy! Say you like me But not with changes? Shut up and forget it These are my faces All these colours That surround me All these places Only drown me I’ll say nothing on your microphone Till you swear to take me home Theres a one foot boy eleven stone He’s sitting on my shoulder Im too scared to look away He comes here almost everyday And everyday I push him off and tell him boy were over MY OH MY I think my mind is gone I’m left here wondering Was I crazy all along? What do I do? Nothing left but pray Gonna shoot somebody Help me drive this craziness away Im happy on my own I think my mind is gone I’m left here wondering Was I crazy all along? What do I do? Nothing left but pray Gonna shoot somebody Help me drive this craziness away Im happy on my own Whats a matter with going places? Take that gross look off your faces Empty loving makes me seasick What you here for I dont need it One foot boy! One foot boy! One foot boy! One foot boy! One foot boy! One foot boy! One foot boy! One foot boy! Happy on my own

À propos de la chanson

La chanson aborde le sentiment de solitude et d'angoisse qui accompagne les relations superficielles. Elle évoque un personnage qui lutte contre des pensées obsessionnelles, symbolisé par un "garçon sur une seule jambe" qui prend place sur son épaule. Il se sent submergé par des attentes déçues et des interactions vides, et se demande s'il est fou d'avoir des doutes sur le sens de ces relations. On y retrouve l'idée d'un désir d'évasion, où l'artiste cherche à se libérer de cette folie ambiante, tout en réalisant qu'il lui reste finalement que sa foi et son indépendance. Le contexte semble refléter des luttes internes, mais aussi un cheminement vers une forme de paix intérieure, à travers l'acceptation de soi et la prière.
