Speed Dial, Pt. I
Fading Memories: Yearning and Reflection in 'Speed Dial, Pt. I'
Lyrics
Don't get me wrong now
Expressing a need for clarification or understanding
I believe you
Affirming belief in the person being addressed
Don't let me down
Requesting not to be disappointed
You never have before
Acknowledging a history of reliability
All of these things
Referring to various experiences or memories
All these things are fading
Indicating a fading or diminishing quality of those experiences
All I can take now
Expressing a limit to what can be tolerated
Help me understand
Seeking comprehension or clarity
Something I've been through
Referencing a challenging experience
I have no clue
Expressing a lack of understanding or knowledge
All of these things
Recalling the fading nature of mentioned things
All these things are fading away
Emphasizing the continued fading of experiences
Learning, You only wanna see me yearning
Implying a desire to witness emotional struggle
Just to try to see me burn out
Highlighting an expectation of burning out or exhaustion
I only wanna see your mind
Expressing a desire to understand the person's thoughts
Your eyes, you know they're shining
Complimenting the brightness or clarity of the person's eyes
Just like headlights
Drawing a comparison to shining headlights
You always were the type to pass me by
Characterizing the person as one who typically ignores or surpasses
When I'm out walking late at night
Describing a scenario of being overlooked while walking at night
On the other side of town
Referencing a different part of town
All the wheels are going round
Describing a situation with movement or activity
It's all of these things
Recalling forgotten aspects of experiences
All of these things I've forgotten about
Reiterating the fading nature of remembered things
When nothing is moving
Describing a state of stillness or lack of motion
Quite my pace
Indicating a decrease in speed or activity
I quiet down, and remember our days
Reflecting on a quieter moment and remembering the past
All of these things
Reiterating the fading of experiences
All these things are fading away
Emphasizing the continued fading of memories
Learning, You only wanna see me yearning
