No Expectations
Journey of Unfulfilled Hopes: Green Leaf Rustlers' No Expectations
Lyrics
Take me to the station
Expressing a desire to be taken to the station, suggesting a readiness for a journey.
And put me on a train
Desiring to be placed on a train, indicating a willingness to depart or move forward.
I've got no expectations
Stating a lack of expectations, possibly reflecting a sense of detachment or acceptance of the unknown future.
To pass through here again
Emphasizing the absence of anticipation for returning to the current situation or place.
Once I was a rich man
Reflecting on a past time when the speaker was wealthy or prosperous.
Now I am so poor
Contrasting the current state of poverty with a previous state of affluence.
But never in my sweet short life
Expressing an intense and unfamiliar emotional state in the speaker's life.
Have I felt like this before
Conveying a unique and overwhelming emotional experience not previously encountered.
You heart is like a diamond
Comparing the heart to a valuable diamond and highlighting a discrepancy in the recipient's actions.
You throw your pearls at swine
Suggesting that valuable feelings or offerings are not appreciated by the intended recipient.
And as I watch you leaving me
Observing the departure of a loved one and the emotional toll it takes on the speaker's peace of mind.
You pack my peace of mind
Linking the departing loved one's actions to the disturbance of the speaker's peace of mind.
Our love was like the water
Drawing a metaphor between the past love and water splashing on a stone, possibly implying fleeting or transient nature.
That splashes on a stone
Comparing the enduring quality of their love to the persistent nature of music.
Our love is like our music
Highlighting the ephemeral nature of both love and music.
Its here, and then its gone
Expressing a desire to be taken to the airport, signaling a readiness for departure by air.
So take me to the airport
Reiterating the lack of expectations for returning to the current location or situation.
And put me on a plane
Desiring to be placed on a plane, extending the theme of departure and movement.
I got no expectations
Reiterating the absence of expectations, emphasizing the uncertainty of the future.
To pass through here again
Closing the lyrics by restating the lack of anticipation for returning to the current place or situation.
