Wishing Well
Wishing Well: Unveiling the Depths of Desire and Redemption
Lyrics
Take off your hat, kick off your shoes.
Encourages someone to relax, be comfortable, and stay put.
You know you ain't goin' anywhere.
Emphasizes a sense of stagnation or lack of progress.
Spend all your time singin' your blues.
Suggests spending time dwelling on and expressing sadness.
You know you ain't goin' anywhere.
Reiterates the theme of being stuck or not moving forward.
You've always been a good friend of mine,
Acknowledges a history of friendship.
But you always say farewell.
Highlights a pattern of saying goodbye or parting ways.
And the only time that you're satisfied,
Implies that satisfaction is elusive for this person.
Is with your feet in the wishing well.
Suggests finding contentment only in a symbolic "wishing well."
In the wishing well.
Reiterates the focus on the symbolic wishing well.
Throw down your gun, you might shoot yourself.
Advises against self-destructive behavior.
Or is that what you're tryin' to do?
Questions if self-harm is the intention behind certain actions.
Put up a fight you believe to be right,
Encourages resistance for a cause, promising a brighter future.
And one day the sun will shine through.
Optimistic outlook that perseverance will lead to positive outcomes.
You've always got somethin' to hide.
Hints at a secretive nature or concealed aspects.
Somethin' you just can't tell.
Addresses difficulty in sharing certain information.
And the only time that you're satisfied,
Reiterates the theme of finding satisfaction in the wishing well.
Is with your feet in the wishing well.
Continues to emphasize the symbolic well as a source of contentment.
In the wishing well.
Reaffirms the focus on the wishing well.
But I know what you're wishing for.
Asserts knowledge of the person's desires.
Love in a peaceful world.
Expresses a wish for love and peace in the world.
Love in a peaceful world.
-Love in a peaceful world.
-Hm, hm-m-m-m.
Unspecified vocal expression.
You've always been a good friend of mine,
Repeats acknowledgment of past friendship.
But you always say farewell.
Reiterates the pattern of saying goodbye.
And the only time that you're satisfied,
Repeats the idea that satisfaction is tied to the wishing well.
Is with your feet in the wishing well.
Emphasizes the symbolic nature of the wishing well.
In the wishing well.
Reaffirms the focus on the wishing well.
In the wishing well.
-Everybody's got a dream
Introduces the concept of everyone having a dream.
And they take it to the wishing well.
Suggests that people bring their dreams to the symbolic well.
Everybody's got a dream,
Repeats the idea of everyone having a dream.
Wishing well.
Reiterates the association of dreams with the wishing well.
