Stand Alone Complex
Love's Desperate Flight: Eagle Eyed Tiger's Stand Alone Complex
Lyrics
When you're all alone
Expressing the feeling of solitude or loneliness.
I call you on the phone
Attempting to reach out and connect by calling on the phone.
You're busy can you go
Recipient is occupied and unable to answer the call.
Why did I let you go
Regretting the decision to let the person go.
I'm lying on the floor
Feeling emotionally low, possibly in a vulnerable state.
Considering what's wrong
Reflecting on what might have gone wrong in the relationship.
I try to call your bluff
Attempting to challenge or question the sincerity of the other person.
But that is not enough
Realizing that the challenge is insufficient to mend the situation.
You're sorry got to go
The other person apologizes and signals the need to end the conversation.
I call for you once more
Making another attempt to reach out despite the previous rejection.
But you will not pick up
Continued failure to get a response from the person.
No you cannot pick up
Confirmation that the person cannot or will not answer.
I run straight to your home
Taking more direct action by going to the person's home.
The loneliest dial tone
Feeling the loneliness through the unresponsive dial tone.
I cannot even scream
Experiencing a sense of helplessness, unable to express pain audibly.
The horror that I've seen
Alluding to a traumatic or distressing experience.
You jump and let it go
The other person letting go of something without remorse.
No feeling of remorse
Describing a lack of guilt or regret in the person's actions.
I'm late to make it there
Expressing tardiness or delay in reaching a destination.
But see you through the air
Seeing the person despite being physically distant.
With wings that start to glow
Imagining the person with metaphorical wings glowing, possibly a positive or radiant image.
Your feathers fall like snow
Visualizing a symbolic shedding of positive qualities or characteristics.
They carry you to see
These qualities taking the person to witness missed opportunities or experiences.
All the things we could've seen
Reflecting on what could have been shared or enjoyed together.
Never let you go
Asserting a determination not to let the person go.
I can't let you go
Reiterating the emotional difficulty of parting with the person.
Hate me in the morning
Anticipating negative emotions in the morning but desiring to see the positive side again.
But see the sun once more
Expressing a longing for a return to a happier past.
I want it like before
Expressing a desire for things to go back to how they were.
If I can try once more
Expressing a willingness to make an effort to reconcile or reconnect.
Let's be alone together
Proposing the idea of being together in solitude.
Just don't hang up the phone
Urging not to end the communication abruptly, possibly symbolized by the phone.
Yeah don't hang up the phone
Reiterating the plea not to disconnect the phone call abruptly.
