Lyrics
Is there something
Is there a sense of longing or a question about something?
Oh, anything will do my love
Expressing openness to anything for the sake of love.
Asked the girl who's on the phone
A girl on the phone seeking something.
That's the girl who's never home
Emphasizing her absence, implying emotional distance.
Say something good
Encouragement to speak positively.
There's a wilderness of row
Reference to a chaotic or confusing situation.
That's the girl on the phone
Reiteration of the girl on the phone, emphasizing her presence.
That's the girl who's never home
Reiteration of her absence, reinforcing the theme of distance.
And your friends they were so close, close
Highlighting the proximity of friends.
Say you will stay
An appeal for commitment and staying.
Forgot what I came here for
Loss of purpose or direction, perhaps in a relationship.
Passed some signs on the road
Passing signs suggesting a physical or metaphorical journey.
Telling me I'm far from home
Feeling far from home, both physically and emotionally.
Friendships out here, myself I disappear
Isolation and self-discovery.
That's the girl all cold
Describing a distant and cold presence.
That's the man who's looking on
An observer looking at the cold figure.
And your friends they were so close
Repetition of friends' closeness, hinting at a shift or change.
One by one they didn't stay
Friends leaving one by one, a sense of abandonment.
Drift away like rolling sea
Metaphor of drifting away, like the rolling sea.
One by one they drift away
Continuation of the theme of friends drifting away.
One of these days
Mention of a future event, possibly a significant change.
Oh
An expression of emotion or realization.
One of these days
Reiteration of the future event, building anticipation.
One of these days
Repetition for emphasis on the impending change.
Your friends they were so close
Recalling the closeness of friends before their departure.
One by one they didn't stay
Repetition of friends leaving, underscoring the inevitability.
Drift away like rolling seas
Continuation of the metaphor of drifting away, emphasizing daily changes.
Day by day drift away
Day by day, the gradual separation from others.
And the people who are close
Those close are the ones who will feel the absence the most.
Are the ones who miss you'll the most
Highlighting the impact on those who are emotionally connected.
One of these days, I'll blow away
Anticipation of personal dissolution or fading away.
One of these days, I'll blow away
Reiteration of the impending personal transformation or departure.
