Song Meaning

The lyrics paint a stark picture of a person stuck in a grim, possibly desperate situation. The opening lines, "Makes game of choice sits in cold piss with sticky hands," immediately establish a sense of squalor and a loss of agency, where even making a choice feels like a futile game. This is underscored by the passive observation of "morning crawl the bottom blue," suggesting a bleak, unchanging environment. The core tension seems to stem from a profound disorientation and a struggle to find meaning or even articulate one's own position. The fragmented "Protests azeida says or says or natalie or something" hints at confused or overheard pronouncements, a cacophony of voices that don't cohere into a clear purpose. This is amplified by the narrator's own inability to grasp the situation, asking "Who can say how any more?" and "And how can say why?" The writing uses sensory details to ground the abstract confusion. The "warbling coo of unseen pigeons" and the "Smell of creeks and south street steakhouse" offer fleeting moments of normalcy or specific environmental markers, but they exist in contrast to the internal state of paralysis. The phrase "Either neithers surround me" perfectly captures a feeling of being trapped between options that are equally unappealing or nonexistent, leading to the poignant conclusion that "It's beginning to get to be a bit too late to name this."
