Lean
Whispers of Freedom: Frances Quinlan's Tale in 'Lean'
Lyrics
"Leeza, show them your doll-"
Addressing Leeza to display her doll to others
A tiny face up on the balcony
Observing a small face on a balcony
Of a capuchin- huh, I wonder what happened
Questioning what happened to a capuchin monkey after staff left
After the fed up remaining staff
Staff's action of leaving after being fed up
All stormed in
Implying a sudden exit by the staff
Was she, free of a master
Wondering if Leeza was freed from a master or released
Released?
Questioning if Leeza was set free
Or handed to a kinder custodian
Contemplating if Leeza was handed to a kinder caretaker
At least?
Speculating about a potentially better custodian for Leeza
Nonetheless,
Nevertheless, despite the situation
Upon the sight of her your group sped off
Leeza's presence prompted the group to quickly leave, abandoning someone
Leaving behind a doomed lord
Someone left behind feeling doomed or abandoned
Looking down from the top
The doomed person looking down from a high place
Jessie, I still can't stand hearing the truth
The speaker still struggles with hearing the truth from Jessie
Let's have one more about other countries
Requesting another story about different countries
I know you have to get up early
Acknowledging Jessie's need to wake up early
But it's what I need
Expressing the speaker's need for one more story despite Jessie's schedule
Wish I could have caught
Regret for missing an event or expression
The expression of the captain upon
Wishing to have witnessed the captain's expression
Waiting for the ship hand with whom he
Describing correspondence between the captain and a ship hand through email
(Through email) corresponded
The speaker saw someone open a truck door
Only to see you pull the truck door
The action of reaching out to shake hands
Open, and
A request to stay over at Jessie's place for the night
Reach out to shake his hand
Admitting a minimal contribution but seeking shelter
Jessie, can I crash here with you tonight?
The woman's endurance is acknowledged
Although my contribution's been lean
Admitting an inadequate contribution
Woman, love follows where you've been
Love continues to follow the woman despite her actions
Your legs can take it just a few more times
Suggesting the woman can endure a few more challenges
I know it isn't fair
Acknowledging the lack of fairness in a situation
Stories struggle for air
Stories struggle to be heard or told
And I need yours more than ever
The speaker's desperate need for the listener's story
I need yours more than ever
Emphasizing the urgent need for the listener's story
Climb one more mountain for me, woman
Requesting the woman to endure one more challenge or hardship
