No Subtle Men
Fading Youth, Unseen Promises: No Subtle Men
Lyrics
It's getting late
Feeling the passage of time
I think my time is running out
Sensing a limited time frame
No one special
Not involved with someone special
Nothing lasting with inside
Lack of enduring connections internally
How should I stay calm
Questioning how to remain calm
When panic lies just ahead?
Anticipating panic in the near future
Everyone can see my youth
Visible signs of youth hanging by a thread
Hanging by a thread
A precarious situation evident to everyone
No subtle men
No men with subtle intentions in her surroundings
Came to my town
Lack of subtle men arriving in her town
No subtle men
Continuation of the absence of subtle men
Begging for my hand
No subtle men requesting her hand in marriage
I'm one of few who's left
Remaining as one of the few individuals left
When everyone has gone
Being present when others have departed
The train is leaving
The departure of an opportunity or connection
And it's too late to get on
Realizing it's too late to seize the opportunity
So much for running
Expressing disappointment in futile efforts
When no one stays to wait
No one remaining to wait for her
For another broken promise
Referencing broken promises that nobody waits for
To slip my mind by mistake
Forgetting promises as they slip from memory
Who would take my word
Doubtful if anyone believes her words
On anything these days?
Lack of trust in her credibility in the current times
I felt so many times
Recalling numerous failed attempts at change
Saying I'm gonna change
Expressing a desire for personal transformation
No subtle men
Continuation of the absence of subtle men
Came to my town
No men with subtle intentions arrived
No subtle men
Emphasizing the lack of subtle men
No lifelong friend
No lifelong friends residing in her town
Lives in my town
Highlighting the absence of lasting friendships
No subtle men
No subtle men requesting her hand in marriage (repeated)
Begging for my hand
Reiteration of the absence of subtle men
