Cologne
Unveiling the Hidden Story: Love, Longing, and Choices
Lyrics
When you came, when you came to the show,
Addressing the moment of someone's arrival at an event or show
All your friends, all your friends didn't know,
Notifying that the person's friends were unaware of the significance of the song being performed
That this song was about you,
Stating that the song being performed was dedicated to the person who arrived
Did you tell em? (Tell em)
Asking if the person informed their friends about the song's dedication
That they didn't even get to see it happen,
Highlighting that despite not witnessing a significant event, the friends are applauding
In a moment when they all start clapping you can turn enough of a look to say
Implying the opportunity for the person to express dissatisfaction or disinterest despite the applause
Stop right there, I am struggling to care, anymore than I have to,
Expressing a struggle to invest more emotions or care than required
Cos I been getting tired and I'm feeling uninspired by all this lack of you,
Feeling weary and lacking motivation due to the absence or unavailability of the person
We could take a chance here,
Considering the possibility of taking a risk or exploring something new
Yeah we could make it last,
Optimism about the potential for a relationship to endure
Take a little trip into the magical,
Emphasizing the idea of experiencing something enchanting or extraordinary
Make a little time for the animals,
Encouraging making time for enjoyable or primal activities
Don't stay there on your own, I'll meet you in Cologne
Suggesting a meeting in Cologne, possibly a metaphorical or actual place for reconciliation or rendezvous
Broke your phone and your arm on the way home, riding drunk in the dark on your skateboard,
Describing incidents of mishaps and recklessness on the way back home
Didn't know till you showed up late to the restaurant,
Realizing certain circumstances or consequences only upon the person's delayed arrival
You're not one to play games I believe it,
Acknowledging the person's sincerity or honesty
Pull me in for a kiss and then leave it,
Describing a moment of intimacy followed by withdrawal, questioning power dynamics
Well now who's in control?
Raising a question about who holds the control in the relationship
Stop right there, I am struggling to care, any more than I have to,
Reiteration of struggling to invest more emotions or care than required
Cos I been getting tired and I'm feeling uninspired by all this lack of you
Expressing fatigue and lack of inspiration due to the absence or unavailability of the person
We could take a chance here,
Revisiting the idea of taking a risk or exploring something new in the relationship
Yeah we could make it last,
Reiterating optimism about the potential for a lasting relationship
Take a little trip into the magical,
Emphasizing the idea of experiencing something enchanting or extraordinary
Make a little time for the animals,
Encouraging making time for enjoyable or primal activities
Don't stay there on your own, I'll meet you in Cologne
Suggesting a meeting in Cologne, possibly a metaphorical or actual place for reconciliation or rendezvous
