Clueless
Unveiling Heartaches: Decoding Billy Gilman's 'Clueless' Tale
Lyrics
Hey clueless why you do you always do this
Questioning why the person repeatedly behaves in a clueless manner
Do I have to go through this with you again
Expressing frustration about having to repeat a situation with the person
Cryin' on my shoulder
Describing emotional vulnerability by seeking comfort
Whenever the nights grow colder
Seeking support during difficult times
And you need more than another fair weather friend
Expressing a need for a genuine, consistent friend
Will it end before sundown
Questioning if the situation will resolve before the day ends
Before the prettiest girl in this town
Reference to a beautiful girl potentially avoiding conflict
Runs away from a showdown with me again
Expressing a desire to prevent a conflict with the girl again
(Look at me now)
Encouragement to pay attention to the speaker
Come on baby, you need a rock you can't toss out
Stressing the importance of being a stable, reliable presence
When you're under the covers
Reference to intimacy and vulnerability in a relationship
You think you're so strong
Ironically questioning the person's perceived strength
Holdin' on to me now
Highlighting the speaker's reliability during tough times
You know why you come around
Indicating the person's reason for seeking the speaker's support
I'm the rock you can't toss out
Reiterating the speaker's reliability and importance
Don't kiss me say you're gonna miss me
Rejecting false affection and temporary commitment
Then ditch me till you come back again
Expressing displeasure at being abandoned and then revisited
Don't touch me
Rejecting insincere physical contact
Tell me how much you love me
Asking for genuine love rather than empty words
If you're not gonna love me
Emphasizing the depth and sincerity desired in love
Like the world's gonna end
Expressing a wish for a love as if it's the last day on Earth
Maybe I never told you
Possibly a confession of unexpressed desires
That I want to hold you
Expressing a longing for physical closeness
And never wanted to be just friends
Desire for more than just a platonic relationship
(Look at me now)
Encouragement to pay attention to the speaker's importance
Come on baby, you need a rock you can't toss out
Stressing the necessity of being a reliable support
When you're under the covers
Reference to intimacy and vulnerability in a relationship
You think you're so strong
Questioning the person's perceived strength again
Holdin' on to me now
Asserting the speaker's importance during hardships
You know why you come around
Reiterating the reason for the person seeking support
I'm the rock you can't toss out
Emphasizing the speaker's reliability and importance
I know you want to see me
Acknowledging the person's consistent visits
'Cause you're always at my door
Questioning if the person leaves due to fear of deeper emotions
Do you leave 'cause you're afraid of seeing something more
Asking if the person avoids commitment due to fear of something more serious
You know why you come around, look at me now,
Reiterating the reason for the person's visits
I'm the rock you can't toss out
Stressing the speaker's reliability and importance once more
