Rest In Peace
Love's Departure: Duncan Laurence's Melancholic Quest for Peace
Lyrics
La, la, la, love me or na, na, not
Expressing uncertainty about being loved or not.
Love me or na, na, not
Repeating the theme of uncertainty in love.
Love me or let me rest in-
Desire for love or peaceful rest if love is not reciprocated.
Woke up in a bad mood
Starting the day with a negative emotion.
Didn't get to see you
Regret for not seeing the person.
Blissful in my dreams, you snuck out in my sleep
Positive dreams contrasted with the reality of the person leaving.
Now I wanna hate you
Conflicted emotions, wanting to hate the person.
Mystery
Referring to the mysterious nature of the relationship.
Do you even miss me?
Questioning if the person misses the singer.
When I turn around, you'll be back in town
Expectation of the person's return.
The truth is gonna kill me
Acknowledging a painful truth.
Wish you didn't come today
Regretting the person's presence on that day.
If you're just gonna leave tomorrow
Expressing a desire for the person not to leave.
Bet you're gonna stay away so long
Anticipating a prolonged absence and questioning self-worth.
That I ask myself, ("Am I still enough?")
Doubting one's adequacy in the relationship.
Don't give me a single thing
Rejecting gifts if they are temporary or borrowed.
If it's only something borrowed
Emphasizing the desire for genuine commitment.
Bet you're gonna stay away so long
Expecting a prolonged separation and questioning love.
That I ask myself, ("Am I still in love?")
Reflecting on the enduring nature of love.
La, la, la, love me or na, na, not
Reiterating the theme of uncertainty in love.
Love me or na, na, not
Repeating the uncertainty and desire for peace if love is not reciprocated.
Love me or let me rest in peace
Expressing a final plea for love or peaceful rest.
Heard your tires on the gravel
Awareness of the person's arrival and resignation to the situation.
Won't put up a battle
Not willing to fight against the person's departure.
It's heaven for a weekend, then a week of demons
Contrasting positive and negative aspects of the relationship.
Best I ever had though
Acknowledging the positive memories despite the challenges.
Wish you didn't come today
Regret for the person's presence on that day (repeated theme).
If you're just gonna leave tomorrow
Desire for the person not to leave (repeated theme).
Bet you're gonna stay away so long
Anticipating a prolonged absence and questioning self-worth (repeated theme).
That I ask myself, ("Am I still enough?")
Doubting one's adequacy in the relationship (repeated theme).
Don't give me a single thing
Rejecting gifts if they are temporary or borrowed (repeated theme).
If it's only something borrowed
Emphasizing the desire for genuine commitment (repeated theme).
Bet you're gonna stay away so long
Expecting a prolonged separation and questioning love (repeated theme).
That I ask myself, "Am I still in love?"
Reflecting on the enduring nature of love (repeated theme).
