Sawdust
Sawdust Whispers: Unraveling the Echoes of Love and Loyalty in Aaron Hall's Melody
Lyrics
My silence you heard before
Reflecting on previous moments of silence between the speaker and the listener.
When I went a walking out your door
Recalling a past departure from the listener's presence.
Like sawdust on a hardwood floor
Comparing the emotional residue (sawdust) to the impact on a hardwood floor, suggesting lasting effects.
Make you come a wanting, wanting a little more
Implying that the speaker's absence makes the listener crave more.
Make you come a wanting, wanting a little more
Reiteration of the desire caused by the speaker's absence.
You think you know how a man should be
Suggesting the listener has a preconceived notion of how a man should behave.
But you aint know no loyalty
Accusing the listener of lacking loyalty.
And even if he showed you chivalry
Even if the listener experienced chivalry, it wouldn't deter the speaker.
You'd be coming back a wanting me
Confidently predicting that the listener would return, desiring the speaker.
You'd be coming back a wanting me
Repeating the anticipation of the listener's return.
A girl like you I know your kind
Labeling the listener with a negative stereotype.
You aint give me no peace of mind
Blaming the listener for not providing peace of mind.
So if I found a woman like you
If the speaker found someone similar to the listener, they would hesitate like an old horseshoe.
Imma double take like an old horseshoe
Reiterating the hesitation if the speaker encountered someone like the listener.
Imma double take like an old horseshoe
Expressing the speaker's cautious approach to a similar situation.
Kicking and a fighting and a bucking on
Describing resilience and determination in facing challenges.
This saddle I'm staying on
Committing to staying on a metaphorical saddle despite difficulties.
Gonna kick my heels and grab my left reign
Planning to take action and control the situation.
Dig on in until the horse gets rank
Emphasizing determination until the situation becomes difficult.
Dig on in until the horse gets rank
Repeating the commitment to persistence in the face of challenges.
Later on at the dance hall
Referencing a future event at a dance hall.
When the moon is high but it aint last call
Describing a moment when the speaker will be active despite the late hour.
I'm gonna spin them girls infront of your flirt
Intending to showcase romantic interest in others in front of the listener.
Cuz your little games aint gonna work
Asserting that the listener's manipulative games will not succeed.
Cuz your little games aint gonna work
Reiterating the ineffectiveness of the listener's manipulations.
My silence you heard before
Repeating the theme of silence and departure.
When I went a walking out your door
Recalling a previous departure similar to line #2.
Like sawdust on a hardwood floor
Repeating the metaphor of sawdust on a hardwood floor, suggesting lasting impact.
Make you come a wanting, wanting a little more
Re-emphasizing the speaker's ability to incite desire in the listener.
Make you come a wanting, wanting a little more
Reiterating the power of the speaker to create longing in the listener.
You think you know how a man should be
Repeating the idea that the listener has misconceptions about how a man should behave.
But you aint know no loyalty
Accusing the listener again of lacking loyalty.
And even if he showed you chivalry
Even if the listener experienced chivalry, it wouldn't deter the speaker, echoing line #8.
You'd be coming back a wanting me
Confidently predicting, once again, that the listener would return, desiring the speaker.
You'd be coming back a wanting me
Repeating the anticipation of the listener's return, mirroring line #10.
