No I
Obsessive Longing: Unveiling the Depths of Emotional Turmoil in Evann McIntosh's 'No I'
Lyrics
This is ridiculous
This situation seems absurd or unreasonable.
I'm going to call you
Expressing the intention to contact someone.
Ask how you're doing
Inquiring about the well-being of the person being called.
What am I doing?
Pondering one's own actions or decisions.
Am I obsessive?
Questioning if the behavior is overly fixated or preoccupied.
Am I needy?
Wondering if there is an excessive need for attention or affection.
Me second-guessing
Reflecting on self-doubt and hesitation.
Because I want you to need me
Expressing a desire for the other person to depend on the speaker.
But you don't
Realizing that the desired level of dependency is not reciprocated.
Put down the phone
Suggesting to end the call.
Put it down, put it down, put it down
Repeating the instruction to put aside certain thoughts.
Put all the thoughts back in your mind
Encouraging to dismiss certain thoughts and concerns.
Turn around
Turning away or changing direction metaphorically.
You're on my mind what did you come here for?
Questioning the purpose of the person's presence in the speaker's thoughts.
I thought you wouldn't be around no more
Anticipating the person's absence but finding them still present.
And all these feelings, all these feelings
Acknowledging and grappling with complex emotions.
And I don't know what to do
Feeling uncertain about how to handle the emotions.
When I get a hit of you
Experiencing a surge of emotions upon encountering the person.
No I
Expressing a negative response or refusal (No).
What is my problem?
Questioning personal challenges or issues.
I just want to forget you
Expressing a desire to move on from the person.
And then I turn around and I miss you
Contradicting the desire to forget by experiencing longing.
It's something that I'm bound to do
Accepting that missing the person is inevitable.
I'm bound to you
Feeling a strong connection or attachment to the person.
Hands and ankles
Describing a state of vulnerability and entanglement.
Drowning in love
Metaphorically drowning in the overwhelming emotion of love.
Falling in love, I
Falling deeply in love despite challenges.
I can't escape you
Expressing inability to break free from thoughts of the person.
You're on my mind what did you come here for?
Repeating the theme of the person being on the speaker's mind.
I thought you wouldn't be around no more
Reaffirming expectations of the person's absence.
And all these feelings, all these feelings
Continuing to grapple with complex emotions.
And I don't know what to do
Feeling uncertain about how to manage overwhelming emotions.
When I get a hit of you
Experiencing intense emotions upon encountering the person.
No I
Reiterating the negative response or refusal (No).
