Caution Lyrics
The caution tape that you’ve wrapped around my brain
Has continued to stay as I’m waiting for a break
Constantly connecting dots
Trying my best, consuming facts
All I’ve learned what’s done is done
And you can not change the past
Helping or hurting?
I am numb
I haven’t felt anything in days
Confusion is key as I am locked inside
Or am I just really gone?
[Chorus]
The caution tape wrapped around my brain
Has continued to stay
A constant strain right behind my face
I’m still waiting for a slight break
For a slight break
[Verse 2]
And I know we’re just different
I know we're just different
Keep drinking from the same cup
It’ll fill you up
It’ll keep you numb
Simplify the motions
Counteract the movements
Don’t think twice because this is love
This is love
This is love
The caution tape wrapped around my brain
Has continued to stay
A constant strain right behind my face
I’m still waiting for a slight break
[Bridge]
You are caffeine
In my bloodstream
You are the energy hidden in-between two muscles sleeping
Please don’t wake me up
I miss myself too much
I miss myself too much
I miss myself too much
So please don't wake me up
Don't wake me up
[Outro]
'Cause all I have is patience
We all lose strength some days
I’ve been waiting for a slight break
About
“Caution” is the lead single for Tiny Moving Parts fourth album Swell. It was released in late 2017.
The song finds vocalist Dylan Mattheisen reflecting on the lessons learned in his short time on this planet. Of them, the simple truth that there is no way to go back or change the past seems to be the most pressing. Whether or not that is a good thing is something you would have to ask him, but you get the sense after listening to the song that Mattheisen and his bandmates have learned from their experiences and are using their knowledge to plan a better, more mature path for the future.
