Lyrics
Needing for what's not
Feeling a need for something that is not present
It goes on
Continuation or persistence of a situation
Wanting what it wants
Desiring what it desires
It won't go away
The desire or issue persists and does not go away
and it says not today
Expressing that the situation is not acceptable today
not today
Reiteration that it's not acceptable today
Oh it's not by choice
Stating that the circumstance is not a matter of choice
I'm toeing the line
Being cautious and following a defined path
And I heel after her voice
Responding to a persuasive voice with compliance
No it's not mine
Clarifying that the situation is not one's own
Leave me on the lawn
Being abandoned in a vulnerable state
Where I know
Being in a familiar place of knowing
I'm only growing old
Acknowledging the inevitability of aging
A cold hand holds me down
A metaphorical representation of feeling restrained by a cold force
Pinned, hooked, I'm frozen now
Describing a state of being trapped, hooked, and immobile
Something says:
Introduction of an external voice or influence
""Hey what's on your mind""
Repetition of an external inquiry about one's thoughts
""Hey what's on your mind""
Continued inquiry into the state of mind
""Hey what's on your mind""
Further repetition of the question about thoughts
""Hey what's on your mind""
Continued emphasis on the inquiry into thoughts
It asks one more time
The external voice repeats the question once more
and I'm left to write this signed receipt
Being left to document or express the experience
and when it calls my name
The moment when the name is called and a response is required
I rise to my feet
Rising to face the situation or challenge
but I fall back down again
Facing a setback or failure
Oh it's not by choice
Reiterating that the situation is not a matter of choice
I'm toeing the line
Continuing to tread carefully along a defined path
And I heel after her voice
Falling back into compliance after responding to the voice
