The Tallest Man On Earth & Idiot Wind - Working Titles [Intro] [Verse] You could mess up my life in a poem Have me divorced by the time of the chorus There’s no need to change any sentence When you always decide where I go next Many nights you would hide from the audience When they were not in tune with your progress In the end you’re a fool like the journalist Who turns what you sing into business [Interlude] [Verse 2] You could use to be more like a hero A darker shade of damage distortion Wearing death like a cape or a costume Cut your ties and leave town when you want to Killing time ’til I pass through the chamber Or the room you keep my replacement so fed up still you’re starving on paper You’re no him but he’s you only better [Interlude] [Verse 3] Leave me an exit to damage I could use a ledge to jump off of I wasn’t lying when I said this was over I have questions that lead to more questions Running time that will cut off my fingers Wrote about me on every new record And I’ll show up in a title of your song I only hope somebody requests it [Interlude] [Bridge] What’s it like for you in Washington I’ve only seen photos of Washington I’ll never know         [Interlude] [Bridge 2] Leave me Manhattan I want the evergreens Write me a song I can sing in my sleep As sure as the rain that will fall where you stand I want you and the skyline these are my demands [Interlude] [Bridge] What’s it like for you in Washington I’ve only seen photos of Washington I’ll never know         [Outro]

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson explore les complexités et les frustrations d'une relation tumultueuse. L'artiste évoque comment un poème peut complètement bouleverser sa vie, suggérant que ses choix et son avenir sont constamment influencés par une autre personne. Il parle de la lutte entre l'identité personnelle et les attentes des autres, tout en exprimant un désir de liberté et d'authenticité. Les références à des éléments comme Washington et Manhattan révèlent une quête de sens, entre le besoin d'évasion et l'idée de trouver sa place dans un monde souvent cruel. La chanson résonne avec l'idée que parfois, les artistes se retrouvent coincés dans des rôles imposés, cherchant désespérément à se libérer.
