Long
Navigating the Maze of Longing: Brazilian Girls' Poetic Reflections
Lyrics
How long can you be walking on eggshells
Reflecting on the difficulty of navigating a delicate or tense situation.
And breathe in thin air
Enduring challenging circumstances or environments.
Get yourself ready for departure when your already there
Preparing for a departure that is unnecessary or redundant.
Longer than the wall of china
Highlighting the concept of enduring for an extensive period, using the Great Wall of China as a metaphor.
Longer than longing for love
Enduring the yearning or desire for love over an extended time.
Longer than your pantomime when the audience is bored
Persisting through a performance or facade when the audience is disinterested.
How can you tip toe to the exit with your tapping shoes on
Attempting to leave a situation quietly or unnoticed despite external distractions.
Listen to yourself when your cell phone rings and the radio's on
Being self-aware and attentive to personal actions amidst external stimuli like phone calls and radio noise.
Longer than your hair in the 80's
Referencing the duration of one's hair in the 80s as a symbol of time.
Longer than the long run
Enduring a prolonged period, possibly suggesting challenges or struggles.
Longer than the longest winter
Comparing the duration to the length of the longest winter, implying an extended and challenging time.
Longer than long
Reiterating the idea of an extended or indefinite duration.
How can you dance on the battlefield with your Sunday clothes on
Engaging in activities or behaviors that seem inappropriate given the context or environment.
How long can you can you go along with this shit with a straight face on
Questioning one's ability to tolerate or endure a challenging situation with a serious demeanor.
Longer than these walls of China
Repeating the comparison to the Great Wall of China to emphasize the length of endurance.
Longer than you know what
Leaving the duration open-ended and uncertain, emphasizing the persistence without specifying what.
Longer than the weakest picture
Enduring something that is perceived as weak or lacking strength.
Longer than long
Reiterating the idea of an extended or indefinite duration.
Come on
Encouraging or urging someone to take action, possibly suggesting the need for change.
