Amazon Standing Lamp – Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hi, it’s been a while
Oh, I could stop on by
I wonder if you’ll hear this when I’m done
It’s gonna be a lot more till I’m gone
Waste inside my mind
Bloodshot eyes and empty sheets
It’s all downhill, 2013
Ostentatious, Austin, Texas
I get so drunk I can barely see
Hit me now before this gets too cute
Don’t make me beg in this hotel room
You’d think it’d get a lot easier without you

Explanation of Verse 1:
The singer begins by acknowledging that it has been a while since they’ve been in touch with someone. They express a desire to visit or connect, wondering if the other person will hear the message once it’s conveyed. The mention of “Waste inside my mind” and “Bloodshot eyes and empty sheets” suggests a state of internal struggle or emotional turmoil. The reference to 2013 and Austin, Texas could be personal markers or memories. The lines about getting drunk and the plea not to make them beg in a hotel room convey a sense of vulnerability and perhaps the aftermath of a difficult experience.

[Verse 2]
But you were right
There’s so much shit inside my mind
I must confess the second time
A lot of friends have left my life
Escaping my tractor bеam of woe
One small kiss and off they go
Crying in deep vibrato

Explanation of Verse 2:
The singer admits that the person they are addressing was right about something, and there’s a lot of internal turmoil. The mention of friends leaving life and escaping a “tractor beam of woe” suggests a struggle to maintain connections or a feeling of being burdened. The reference to a small kiss and crying in deep vibrato indicates emotional pain.

Explanation of Refrain:
The refrain introduces contrasting images and emotions, from midday missionary to midnight loathing, midnight cowgirl to morning smoking. These juxtaposed elements might represent the complexity of the singer’s emotional experiences.

[Verse 3]
Mе and my girl could go on high
My girl’s the world, she fucks my life
A top-heavy Amazon Standing Lamp’s
The only light left in my life
A top-heavy Amazon Basic Standing Lamp’s
The only light left in my life

Explanation of Verse 3:
The singer introduces the idea of themself and their girl going “on high,” suggesting a positive experience. However, the line “My girl’s the world, she fucks my life” introduces a conflicting sentiment, implying that despite the positive aspects, there is still difficulty or challenge. The mention of a top-heavy Amazon Standing Lamp being the only light left in their life adds a visual metaphor, perhaps symbolizing a sense of isolation or dependence on an inanimate object.

[Outro]
No, no you won’t get nothing
