Frankel’s ex doesn’t want to hear his justifications for what happened between them, she just wants to put it behind her and change the topic. Frankel, on the other hand, would rather get it out in the open and get some sort of validation from his ex.

Even though the environment is chaotic and fun, Frankel can’t help but recollect bad memories he has with a former lover who’s also in attendance. They never definitively settled their problems, so Frankel can’t feel closure within the relationship.

The phrase “running out the clock” is used in sports when a winning team simply draws out the game so that the other team has possible chance to retaliate and score. Frankel’s not comfortable with the way each party hasn’t had their chance to tell the other how they feel about their romantic past.

Because of the phonetic similarities, the first line is probably a play on the phrase “fire the cannons”, which could be used to liken the New Years celebrations to a boisterous battle. As for the canyons themselves, Holy Ghost are probably celebrating in a Coachella-esque desert environment.

Because it’s the dawn of New Years Day, HG! have clearly been partying all throughout the night.

This is probably meant to be in contrast to a similarly structured, yet antithetical line in the song Changing of the Guard:

Don’t tell me what I should do

In order to distract himself from his looming anxieties, Frankel self-medicates with drugs (probably cocaine). He asks his dealer if he has his new shipment in, and of course, being the “guy”, confirms the rumor and delivers promptly.
