Asking for More
Yearning for More: A Reflective Anthem on Desires and Departures
Lyrics
When I ask you
The speaker is requesting or inquiring about something.
Always say that you're on it
The person being asked always claims they are ready or capable.
Write it down in a sonnet
Suggesting that the promise or commitment is expressed in a poetic or artistic form.
When will we ever learn?
Expresses a sense of frustration or confusion about learning from past experiences.
Let's get away
Desire to escape from a chaotic or troubling situation.
From all this madness
The chaos or situation is causing distress.
Only bringing us sadness
Highlighting that the situation brings only sorrow or negative emotions.
Do we even care?
Raising doubts about whether anyone involved cares about the situation.
We had the time of our lives
Reflecting on a past period that was enjoyable or fulfilling.
And we're still asking for more
Despite previous enjoyment, there's still a desire for more.
But now we know
An understanding that a change or departure is necessary.
We gotta go
Recognizing the need to leave the current situation.
Promising me
Someone made a promise to assist or support.
That you going to help me
The person promised help but is being secretive or evasive.
But you're being stealthy
Highlighting the covert or hidden behavior of the individual who promised help.
Now I need to know
The speaker seeks clarification or information due to the confusion caused by the promise.
Cut me a break
Requesting a moment of leniency or understanding due to the speaker's efforts.
As I'm trying my hardest
Expressing the effort being put forth in a difficult situation.
Trying to reap in the harvest
Attempting to gain rewards or benefits from the effort.
There's one sowed
There is at least one successful outcome from the effort.
We had the time of our lives
Reiteration of a past enjoyable period.
And we're still asking for more
Despite past enjoyment, there's still a desire for more.
We think we know
Implying that despite believing they understand, there's still a craving for more.
We had the time of our lives
Reiteration of a past enjoyable period.
And we're still wanting much more more
Expressing a strong desire or yearning for additional things.
But now we know
An understanding that a change or departure is necessary.
We gotta go
Acknowledging the imperative need to depart or change the situation.
We gotta go
Emphasizing the urgency of departure or change, repeated for emphasis.
We gotta go
Repeated urgency for departure or change.
(We gotta go)
Reiteration and emphasis on the need to depart or change the situation, reiterated six times.
(We gotta go)
-(We gotta go)
-(We gotta go)
-(We gotta go)
-(We gotta go)
