dull way
Eternal Longing: Diving into Coal Flower's 'Dull Way' Meaning
Lyrics
Yeah I liked the taste of gold
Expressing a fondness for the allure of wealth
In your rare summer coat
Admiring someone in a unique or special summer outfit
Come back
An invitation or plea for someone to return
Would you come back
A repetition of the request for the person to come back
Do you miss me when you're cold
Questioning if the person misses the speaker in moments of cold or distance
Cause you'd swear
Implying a strong connection or intimacy
I'm your coat
Symbolically being referred to as a protective and comforting "coat"
We'd lie back
Recalling shared moments of lying down together
You smile back
Reciprocal happiness expressed through a smile
That same damn encouragement
Referencing a recurring source of motivation or support
In your Cali apartment
Reflecting on a past experience in a California apartment
Did you feel it
Possibly questioning if the other person felt a significant moment
This is the end
Suggesting a conclusion or an end to a relationship or phase
Stay that dull way
Encouraging the person to remain in a subdued or unexciting state
No rush, I'll wait
Expressing a willingness to patiently wait, emphasizing no urgency
I'd lie awake
Indicating a state of restlessness or difficulty sleeping
You walked away
Noting a departure or separation
Stay that dull way
Reiterating the desire for the person to remain in a subdued state
No rush, I'll wait
Reiterating the willingness to wait without haste
God I miss your constant glow
Expressing a longing for the constant radiance or positivity of the person
Miss your hands on my throat
Recalling a physical and intimate gesture involving the throat
I always play it back
Reflecting on memories and playing them back mentally
You didn't smile back
Noting a lack of reciprocated smile in a specific instance
Save me the embarrassment
Pleading to spare the speaker from embarrassment
Linger in your merriment
Asking to linger in the joy or amusement of the person
How did we lose that
Reflecting on the loss of something significant in the relationship
Is this really happening
Questioning the reality of the current situation
Stay that dull way
Repeating the desire for the person to remain in a subdued state
No rush, I'll wait
Reiterating the patient willingness to wait without rushing
I'd lie awake
Reiterating a state of restlessness or difficulty sleeping
You walked away
Noting a previous departure or walk away
Stay that dull way
Reiterating the desire for the person to remain in a subdued state
No rush, I'll wait
Reiterating the patient willingness to wait without rushing
