Teeth
Yearning Echoes: Unveiling the Depths of Emotion in Bonnie Trash's 'Teeth'
Lyrics
Are you listening
Seeking acknowledgment or attention
Can you hear me
Asking if the listener can perceive the message
Can you see me, feel me
Questioning if the listener can sense and understand the emotions
I forget what I have done
Expressing forgetfulness about past actions or choices
When’s the last time you smiled
Asking about the last instance the listener felt genuine happiness
Who are you waiting for, waiting for
Repetition emphasizing the question about the person someone is waiting for
Who are you waiting for, waiting for
-Smile for me
Repeated request for a smile, possibly indicating a desire for reassurance or comfort
Smile for me
-Smile for me
-Smile for me
-I can hear you
Assurance of perceiving the listener's presence and breath, possibly in a meditative or intimate context
Breathing
-Slowly, deeply
-When you wake up
Assuming a future closeness upon awakening
I’ll be there
Requesting forgiveness for unknown reasons
Forgive me, forgive me
(Blank line)
Who are you waiting for, waiting for
Repeated questioning about the person someone is waiting for, suggesting curiosity or concern
Who are you waiting for, waiting for
-Smile for me
Continued insistence on a smile, potentially as a form of solace or encouragement
Smile for me
-Smile for me
-Smile for me
-Smile for me
-Smile for me
-Smile
-Have you cried lately
Asking about recent emotional expression through tears
You talk, but you don’t listen
Highlighting a lack of active listening during conversations
Secret’s safe with me, darling
Assurance of keeping someone's secret safe
Will you, will you
Questioning a potential action or decision ("Will you?")
Smile for me
Repeated plea for a smile, indicating a strong desire for it
Smile for me
-Smile for me
-Smile for me
-Smile for me
-Smile for me
Final plea for a smile
