Be Longing
Embracing Contradictions: A Love Unraveling in 'Be Longing'
Lyrics
Slowly, pull me close
Expressing a desire to be approached gradually or with care.
Hold me, hold me like we're belonging
Asking to be held as if the connection feels like a sense of belonging.
Too much, not enough
Describing conflicting feelings of both too much and not enough.
A lovely contradiction
Acknowledging the paradox of being a lovely contradiction.
A second away
Highlighting a very short distance or time.
A second too late
Suggesting a missed opportunity or timing.
But all that I breathe comes from you now
Attributing everything breathed to the person being addressed.
Slowly, pull me close
Repeating the desire to be pulled close, emphasizing slowness.
Hold me, hold me like you've been wanting
Requesting to be held as if it's something long-awaited.
The bold, brave movement surrounding
Describing a bold and brave atmosphere surrounding the speaker.
The cold, cave heart in my chest
Mentioning a cold and cave-like heart within the speaker's chest.
But there's no, there's no moment allowing
Noting a lack of moments that permit certain actions or feelings.
No
Emphasizing a negative response or denial.
For fire and ice to melt the mess
Rejecting the idea of allowing conflicting elements to resolve the mess.
To melt the mess
Reiterating the impossibility of resolving the mess.
Oh
An exclamation expressing intensity or realization.
All that I breathe comes from you now
Reaffirming that everything breathed is derived from the addressed person.
Slowly, pull me pull me pull me close
Repeating the plea to be pulled close, with added emphasis.
Hold me, hold me like you belong here
Asking to be held as if the speaker truly belongs in that moment.
Oh oooh
An expressive interjection, possibly conveying emotion.
All I breathe comes from you
Stating that everything breathed originates from the addressed person.
