Dimes
Dimes by Damien Jurado: Unveiling Hidden Secrets of Love
Lyrics
I've got dimes by the dozen
I possess a large quantity of dimes
I'm placing a call to your husband
I am making a phone call to your spouse
Does he know about me at all?
Is he aware of my existence?
I hang up when he answers
I hang up the phone when he picks up
It's too much for me to handle
The situation is overwhelming for me
What happens now, when it all goes down?
What will happen next when everything unfolds?
Gas station lights for a candle
Using gas station lights as a substitute for a candle
Your heart's put together then dismantled
Your emotions are assembled and then broken apart
Secrets are best when left unsaid
Some secrets are better left unspoken
The floodgates are open
A flood of emotions or information is now released
And you'll see me
You will witness me
Running back
I will retreat or return
And no one is perfect
Nobody is flawless
You must admit it now
You must acknowledge this fact now
I'm in my best when you're pretending
I am at my best when you pretend
And no paper plane is safe for landing
No metaphorical attempt is secure or successful
This is how the best all die
This is how the most exceptional individuals meet their end
Holding my breath until you need me
I'm waiting anxiously until you require my presence
Foraging my way into the simple
Struggling to find a straightforward path
Somehow my voice was caught in the trees
My communication or expression was hindered or obstructed
The floodgates are open
A surge of emotions or information is now released
And you'll see me
You will witness me
Running back
I will retreat or return
And no one is perfect
Nobody is flawless
You must admit it now
You must acknowledge this fact now
The way you built this song and what they told us
The structure of this song contradicts what was expected
Switching the lines just to confuse us
Lines are deliberately changed to create confusion
What happens now
What will occur now?
Now all goes down
What will transpire in the end?
