Don't Wait For Me
Embracing Solitude: Beach Novels' Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
It burns slow
Expressing a slow, lingering pain or emotion.
You're finding out
Discovering or realizing something.
Exactly what you wanted
Achieving precisely what was desired.
Now it's all burned down
Everything has been destroyed or ruined now.
Don't wait for
Advice not to delay or hesitate.
Don't wait for
Repeated emphasis on not waiting.
Don't wait for me
An urging not to expect the speaker's presence.
When you're alone inside your head
Being alone with one's thoughts and emotions.
Don't wait for
Reiteration of the advice not to delay.
Don't wait for
Continued emphasis on not waiting.
Don't wait for me
Strong advice not to wait for the speaker.
When you're alone inside your bed
Being alone in bed, possibly referring to loneliness.
A cardinal with a broken wing
Symbolic imagery of vulnerability or weakness.
Life is just a funny thing
Reflection on the unpredictable nature of life.
Cut my neck
A metaphorical expression of intense emotions or self-harm.
Until I feel something
Seeking to feel something through extreme actions.
It's so good
Paradoxical acknowledgment that intense feelings can be pleasurable.
Don't wait for
Reiteration of the advice not to wait for the speaker.
Don't wait for
Emphasizing the urgency of not waiting.
Don't wait for me
A reminder not to expect the speaker's presence.
When you're alone inside your head
Being alone with one's thoughts and emotions, reiterated.
Don't wait for
Reiteration of the advice not to delay.
Don't wait for
Continued emphasis on not waiting.
Don't wait for me
Strong advice not to wait for the speaker, repeated.
When you're alone inside your bed
Being alone in bed, possibly referring to the impact of the advice.
