Bobby's on the Phone
Echoes of Isolation: Ariel Pink's Melodic Tale of Solitude in 'Bobby's on the Phone'
Lyrics
Plagued in porn for many days
Experiencing a persistent struggle with adult content for an extended period.
Tried and trained all my old waves
Attempted and practiced my previous habits or ways.
Spain won't drop out anytime
Spain, possibly metaphorical, is not withdrawing or giving up easily.
I give permission to lose my mind
Granting permission to let go of sanity or control.
Lot's of hate, never lose your words
Facing a significant amount of hatred, but emphasizing the importance of not losing one's voice.
Concentrated on the curse
Focused on a curse or negative aspect in life.
And I tell myself it's only time
Self-assurance that the challenging situation is temporary.
Before I fall or before I cry
Acknowledging an impending emotional breakdown or expression of sadness.
And Bob is all alone
Bob is in a state of isolation.
Bobby's on the phone
Bobby is communicating through the phone.
Bob is always stoned
Bob is consistently under the influence of substances.
Bobby's on the phone
Bobby is reaching out via phone despite being in an altered state.
All I need is someone to hold
Expressing a desire for emotional support and companionship.
But first I need something like a soul
Prioritizing the need for a sense of identity or individuality.
In just one minute, I will be
Anticipating a shift in emotional state within a minute.
Frustration complaced with me
Frustration coexisting or blending with the speaker.
Compose my hand, baby one I need
Requesting physical closeness, possibly implying a need for comfort.
I believe that I'm strong to destroy
Believing in personal strength to overcome challenges.
The kids out my house
Directing children out of the speaker's residence gradually.
One at a time
One by one, emphasizing a gradual process of removing individuals from the speaker's space.
Bobby's out cold
Bobby is unconscious or unresponsive.
Bobby's gonna phone
Bobby will communicate through the phone despite being in a vulnerable state.
Bob is always stoned
Bob is consistently under the influence of substances.
Bobby's on the phone
Bobby continues to reach out via phone even in altered states.
