Lyrics
If you're willing to wait for the love of your life
If you're patient for your true love, wait in the specified place.
Please wait by the line
Wait at a particular location or boundary.
And you know dispersive prisms rainbow
Referencing the dispersion of light into a rainbow, suggesting a scientific understanding despite optimism.
But my native optimism isn't broken by the light
Despite challenges, inherent positivity remains intact.
The idea of life without company fell suddenly
The sudden realization of life without companionship.
It crashed through the ceiling on me
A metaphorical collapse of expectations, overwhelming the speaker.
And pinned me to the pine
Feeling stuck or anchored to a particular situation or emotion.
And layer upon layer of hope and doubt
A buildup of conflicting emotions and uncertainty.
Will crush bones to oil in time
Metaphorically, emotional pressure can break and transform.
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
Asking if one pushes or pulls in relationships or life.
I pull the weight towards me
The speaker pulls things toward themselves.
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward
Lacking enthusiasm or energy for the future without external motivation.
Unless I have a woman pushing me
The speaker needs someone to motivate or push them forward.
A canopy of red-billed quelea
A visual description of a flock of birds.
Passed over the blue
Passage of birds above the sky's expanse.
A five hour flock, not one dives down
The flock remains unified and doesn't separate.
To tell you the truth
Admission of truth about the flock.
As night falls, a quelea crawls
At night, a bird struggles or moves weakly.
And whispers on his last wings
The bird communicates a message before its demise.
So abundant are we, left alone I shall be
Feeling abundant in company but alone without it.
But a waited phone never rings
Expectation of communication that doesn't materialize.
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
Reiterating the push or pull metaphor.
I pull the weight towards me
Continued tendency to pull things towards oneself.
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward
Similar lack of enthusiasm for the future without external influence.
Unless I have a woman pushing me
Needing external motivation or push from someone else.
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
Repeating the push or pull metaphor, emphasizing choice.
We could hold hands for fifteen minutes in the sauna
Suggesting a scenario of physical closeness.
We could hold hands for a pool length under water
Another scenario of physical closeness, this time underwater.
I can push and pull
The speaker is capable of both pushing and pulling.
Her
A vague reference to influencing someone else.
If you're willing to wait for the love of your life
Repeated plea to wait for true love in a specific place.
Please wait by the line
Reiteration of the request to wait for love in a designated location.
