Snakes
Midnight Musings: Love's Deception and Frustration
Lyrics
You set the snakes loose inside my belly.
You caused intense anxiety or distress within me.
They're done with my supper,
The snakes have finished consuming my meal.
They start on my endocrine lining.
They begin to affect my hormonal system.
You said, "Please stop your wining!"
You asked me to stop complaining.
This isn't a love song.
Clarification that the song is not about love.
I'm through writing those for you.
The singer has stopped writing love songs for the listener.
All the while you claimed
You insisted that the ghost in you is alive, but it's actually dead.
The ghost in you lives, but it's dead
The ghost is in the singer's mind.
It's inside my head
It's midnight, and there's no communication from you.
And all that I know is that it's midnight
Expressing uncertainty and frustration about your silence.
And you haven't called.
Speculating that your expressions of sadness are likely dishonest.
Oh, when you sigh, and you cry,
The singer is patiently waiting for you.
I figure you probably lie
Admitting that the singer might be the deceived one.
And I'm here waiting.
The singer is patiently waiting despite being possibly fooled.
And all I can see, if there's anyone fooled
Reiterating the frustration of waiting at midnight without communication.
Then it's probably me and I'm here waiting.
Repeating the emotional state of waiting and uncertainty.
And all that I know is that it's midnight
It's midnight again, and there's no contact from you.
And you haven't called.
Continued frustration about your lack of communication.
And all that I know is that it's midnight
Reiteration of the frustration of waiting at midnight.
And you haven't called.
Continued frustration about your lack of communication.
All that I know is I'm left with frustration
Expressing frustration and an active imagination.
And this hyperactive imagination of mine.
The singer wants to trust you but struggles with frustration and imagination.
I would love to lay all my faith in you.
Expressing a desire to have faith in you.
Why can't I let fate have it's way with me?
Questioning the ability to let fate take its course.
I would love to but.....(place all my trust in you)
Expressing the desire to place trust in you but struggling.
(Why can't I? 'cause...)
Asking why trust is challenging, providing the reason.
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over (again)
Repetition of the finality of a situation or relationship.
You say you're at Mother's, but do yo mean lover's?
Questioning the sincerity of your whereabouts, implying infidelity.
Are you in the armorous arms of another?
Wondering if you are in the arms of another person.
It chills every bone in me, straight to the core of me.
Expressing a chilling effect on the singer due to the suspicion.
Your girlfriend concurs with you, is she your alibi?
Asking if your girlfriend supports your claims and serves as an alibi.
How did you get that sweet little girl to lie?
Questioning how you convinced someone to lie for you.
Meanwhile I'm here waiting....
Reiterating the singer's waiting state.
This isn't a love song,
Reiteration that the song is not about love.
I'm through writing those for you.
The singer has stopped writing love songs for you.
