Shanghai
Yearning for Connection: Shanghai's Melancholic Narrative
Lyrics
Hey baby would you roll the windows up?
Asking to close the windows to escape the cold
I'm freezing
Feeling cold despite having a hot face
Though my face is hot
Intense discomfort while facing the sun
I'm staring at the sun
Feeling anxious and nervous
My heart's beating
Sensations of a racing heartbeat
Sweating, baby I can barely feel myself breathing
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to breathe properly
Good thing we're all rolled up
Feeling protected or sheltered
Why don't you smoke some?
Suggesting smoking to relax
I'd love to see you loosen it up
Encouraging the partner to relax or unwind
I'm hoping
Desiring that nervousness remains hidden
Hoping you can't see my nerves in the fog
Uncertain about the duration of their connection
And I don't know how long I've got
Anticipating being forgotten by the partner
Until the day you've forgot my name
Feeling extremely joyful despite limitations
I find myself elated
Feeling powerless to act
Baby, can't do shit
Expressing a desire to become intoxicated
Get faded
Losing hope in achieving a goal
And I know I'll never make it
Pleading for companionship despite personal strength
So please
Acceptance of independence if the partner leaves
Want you to stay with me
Requesting comfort through the night
Though I'll be fine if you leave baby
Expressing the ability to cope alone
Just let me fall asleep
Desiring peace or tranquility
Oh, when you look at me
Feeling captivated by the partner's gaze
With those eyes
Recognizing the partner's past emotional pain
That for so long have cried
Wishing to be deeply connected with the partner
Makes me want to live in them
Desiring to share a life with the partner
And to know
Contemplating the future with the partner
How to spend the rest of my days
Seeking guidance or direction for the future together
