Ethereal Desires: Unveiling Hidden Longings in Father Figuer's 'Lemon'
Lyrics
I’ve got no longing to linger
I have no desire to linger or stay in one place for too long.
Never let reality hinder
I don't allow reality to obstruct or impede my actions.
What’s been erased from the space
Referring to something erased or removed from a specific space or context.
I’ve got my tongue ‘round God’s fingers
I have a deep connection or understanding with spiritual or divine forces, metaphorically expressed as having my tongue around God's fingers.
He said “Your face has a grace”
A recognition or compliment that my face carries a certain grace or beauty.
I said “Would you know another?
Questioning whether the speaker is the only person with a particular quality, asking if the other person knows someone else with a similar grace.
You better watch what you taste
A caution to be careful about what experiences or sensations one indulges in.
You don’t know my other lover”
Asserting that the other person doesn't know about the speaker's other romantic partner.
He said “You feel just like light
Acknowledging that the speaker feels ethereal or weightless, like light.
I only reach in the night
Expressing a limitation that the speaker can only be reached or understood during the night.
And if I stay til the sun
Pondering whether the connection would endure even in the brightness of day.
Would you still look at my love in the day?”
Asking if the other person would still love the speaker if they stayed until the morning.
Turn myself til I’m someone else
A desire to transform oneself into a different person.
If I could only find what would help myself
An aspiration to discover what can help improve oneself.
To give into the bitter taste
Being willing to accept and endure a bitter or unpleasant experience.
That reach my lips when they touch on your name
The bitterness experienced when the speaker utters the other person's name.
Breathing slow when you give the time
Taking a slow breath when given the time, emphasizing a deliberate and thoughtful approach.
I never had to mistake what’s mine
Never having to confuse or misunderstand what rightfully belongs to the speaker.
