Little Red Haired Girl
Quest for Lost Love: Little Red Haired Girl's Meaning Unveiled
Lyrics
When I was half myself
Reflecting on a past state of being incomplete or not fully oneself
I guess I was another guy
Acknowledging a different identity or persona in the past
I was gonna find my way to your world
Expressing a desire to navigate towards the world of the person addressed
Little red haired girl
Referring to the person of interest as a distinctive "little red haired girl"
I was not quite myself
Describing a period of not being true to oneself
That was some other time
Indicating a different timeframe with uncertainty about receiving assistance
You were gonna help me out, I wasn't sure
Expressing uncertainty about the support from the person addressed
Little red haired girl
Reiterating the distinctive identity of the person of interest
Running for the crosstown bus
Narrating an action of rushing for public transportation
Looking like another guy
Highlighting a resemblance to someone else during this action
I looked everywhere I know and now I'm here
Expressing an extensive search leading to the present moment
Little red haired girl
Reaffirming the unique identity of the person sought
Standing on a pouring street
Depicting a scene of being in the rain and feeling upset
Looking at my angry feet
Illustrating a state of emotional distress while looking down
I was gonna find my way to your world
Reiterating the quest to find a path to the person of interest
Little red haired girl
Emphasizing the unique identity of the person being pursued
I've been down to the piers
Describing various locations visited in the search
Run through the park
Recalling running through a park in the pursuit
Been through hell
Referring to difficult experiences in the search
Looking for my little red haired girl
Reaffirming the distinctive identity of the person sought
Been to the corner
Indicating going to a specific location and asking for information
Asking everybody
Seeking assistance from everyone in that location
Looking all through my pockets
Searching thoroughly, even in pockets, for the sought person
For my little red haired girl
Reiterating the distinctive identity of the person being sought
Been to the circus
Exploring different places, including a circus and projects
Down to the projects
Visiting diverse locations in the city during the search
All around town
Expressing an exhaustive search throughout town
Looking for my little red haired girl
Reaffirming the distinctive identity of the person sought
Been through the summer
Recalling experiences during different seasons in the search
Run through the snow
Describing actions taken in different weather conditions
Lost my coat
Noting a loss in the process, specifically a coat
Looking for my little red haired girl
Reiterating the distinctive identity of the person being sought
Little red haired girl (x 4)
Repetition of the distinctive identity, possibly indicating fixation or longing
