A Few Minutes on Friday
Weekend Escape: Navigating Love's Unspoken Depths
Lyrics
She kills, with foreign films, the emptiness of day to day
Using foreign films, she alleviates the emptiness of her day-to-day life.
And I wait until the weekend comes
The speaker waits for the weekend when he can escape the monotony.
So I can clear this uselessness from my brain
He looks forward to clearing the mental emptiness during the weekend.
I count the days until she arrives
The speaker eagerly anticipates the days until she (the person of interest) arrives.
Those precious minutes when she is mine
During the precious minutes they spend together, she belongs to him.
As we walk from my front door to her car
They share a moment as they walk from his front door to her car.
We are so close and alone
Despite being close and alone, this intimacy disappears in a room filled with warmth from others' company.
But that will disappear in a room filled with the warmth
The warmth is lost in the presence of other people.
Of others company
The speaker reflects on the warmth of others' company.
There is too much company
There is an overwhelming amount of company, possibly hindering genuine connection.
I hide my wounded pride and stare off into the other cars
The speaker conceals his wounded pride and gazes at other cars.
If I could just speak the words to tell her
The speaker wishes to express his feelings to her but struggles.
Exactly how I feel
He contemplates expressing his feelings to her in words.
I count the ways that I might say it
The speaker considers various ways to communicate his feelings.
But I know that none of them will work because
Despite considering different approaches, he believes none will work.
She won't feel the same
He acknowledges that she won't reciprocate the same feelings.
I've come this far
The speaker has come a long way in his thoughts and emotions.
But I can't go through with it because the truth would hurt
He refrains from expressing his true feelings as it would cause too much pain.
Too much
Expressing the truth would be emotionally unbearable.
This hurts too much
The speaker emphasizes the intense emotional pain he is experiencing.
She goes back to the west coast to drink in the sunshine
She returns to the west coast to enjoy the sunshine.
And I will stay here in these dead plains
The speaker remains in a desolate place, trying to cultivate growth.
And try to make a seed grow
He is attempting to make something meaningful flourish in a seemingly lifeless environment.
And I would pray for rain
The speaker expresses a metaphorical desire for growth through praying for rain.
If I thought that that would help
The speaker would pray for rain if he believed it would help his endeavors.
