More Than Anything
Yearning for Connection: Adam Melchor's Emotive Tale
Lyrics
My phone is down to one bar
Signal on the phone is weak
From building up the energy
After gathering courage to confront
To yell at me
To express anger at me
Through my pocket seams
Through my pocket
Down the boulevard
On the street
It's an old friend whose voice it mumbles
Phone's unclear voice
Through the fumbles of
Amidst errors caused by poor reception
Bad reception's hands
Interference in communication
That's when I realized
Realization dawned
When he couldn't stop or start his sentences
His struggle to articulate
It wasn't my connection breaking up
Communication issues not due to connection
It was him
His struggle personally
He said I need you now
Expressed need for my presence
More than anything
Emphasizing desire
More than anything
Reiteration of intense need
Your mind's an empty warehouse
Metaphor for a cluttered mind
c facade of broken windows
Facade of shattered thoughts
Where the leaves in the yard grow
Growth amidst chaos
Older than the wind blows
Experiences aged and enduring
cnd whenever you go there
Entering this mental state
Kept in the cobwebs
Neglected fears
Under the front steps live the fears
Fears dwelling in subconscious
You've exhausted
Emotionally drained
You are not the tenant
Not in control
You are the patient
Vulnerable and in need of healing
Swallowing steps just to get
Efforts to escape
Out of the basement
Struggling to move past difficulties
cnd how is the view
Perspective on life
Is the roof what you're used to
Used to limited possibilities
Being so low with a high that abused you
Experiencing highs and lows
He said I need you now
Expressed need for support
More than anything
Repetition of intense need
More than anything
Emphasizing desire for support
I said my friend you can
Offering a listening ear
Tell me everything
Willingness to hear everything
Tell me everything
Reiteration of willingness to listen
Now when I drive on the parkway at night
Reflecting on memories
I still swear I can see your ghost
Sense of seeing someone's presence
Passing the exit where you used to live
Passing familiar places linked to someone
cll I wonder is if you'll ever find home
Wondering about their sense of belonging
Oh and I said I need you need now
Expressing urgent need for someone
More than anything
Reiteration of intense need for someone's presence
