Lyrics
Was it my imagination?
Questioning if a situation was a product of imagination.
Did you come out of the past?
Wondering if someone emerged from the past.
You had horses behind you
Reference to a person having a history or baggage.
But I didn't want to ask
Hesitation to inquire about the person's background.
You're so independent
Describing the person as self-sufficient and strong.
You never needed nothing
Emphasizing independence and self-reliance.
Never needed no one
Highlighting the person's self-sufficiency.
Never wanted to have fun
Expressing a lack of interest in having fun.
That's when I found out I was wrong
Realization of a mistaken assumption about the person.
When you count on nothing, nothing comes along
Reflecting on the consequence of expecting nothing.
You were standing on the corner
Observing the person waiting for something significant.
You were waiting for the beast
Referring to anticipation or confrontation with a challenging situation.
You had stories of prophets
Awareness of the person's experiences and wisdom.
But I didn't want to tease
Avoiding playfully provoking or testing the person.
Come down from your tower
Encouraging the person to come down from a metaphorical tower, possibly arrogance.
You got tall tree power
Attributing power and authority to the person.
Your eyes are on fire
Describing intense or passionate emotions in the person's eyes.
You got no desire
Noting a lack of ambition or passion in the person.
I should have known right from the start
Admitting a realization of a mistake from the beginning.
When you count on nothing, nothing falls apart
Reflecting on the consequences of expecting nothing.
And then we stayed out all night
Recalling staying out late with the person.
And in the morning you had second sight
Discovering new insight or understanding the next morning.
That's when I found out I was wrong
Reiteration of being wrong when expecting nothing.
When you count on nothing, nothing comes along
Repeating the consequence of expecting nothing.
Come down from your tower
Encouraging the person to come down from a metaphorical tower again.
You got tall tree power
Reiterating the person's perceived power and authority.
Your eyes are on fire
Describing intense or passionate emotions in the person's eyes again.
You got no desire
Reiterating the lack of ambition or desire in the person.
