PARASITE
Echoes of Emptiness: PARASITE by Henry Cole Unraveled
Lyrics
Missed the holiday again
Expressing disappointment for missing a holiday.
Said I'd probably
Committing to staying in for the holiday.
Just stay in, stay in
Reiterating the decision to stay indoors.
Left it at the tone
Leaving a message, possibly on the phone.
You're probably just not home
Suggesting the person is not at home.
Oh well
Acceptance of the situation with resignation.
If not for you
Acknowledging a dependence on someone named "you."
I'd have no use
Expressing that without "you," the microphone has no purpose.
For this here microphone
Highlighting the importance of the microphone.
Tell me
Requesting information or an explanation.
What do you return to me
Pose a question about what is given or returned.
Less than absolutely nothing
Receiving less than nothing, indicating disappointment.
Nothing at all
Emphasizing the absence of anything received.
Would it kill you just to see
Asking if acknowledging the speaker would be difficult.
You make me feel like I am nothing
Feeling insignificant or unnoticed by "you."
Nothing at all, at all
Reiterating a sense of nothingness in the relationship.
Troubled water wash your doubt
Using troubled water as a metaphor for doubt.
Take my solitary route
Choosing a solitary path to deal with challenges.
And one day you will kiss the crown
Expecting recognition or appreciation in the future.
The curtain's closing
Symbolizing the end of a performance or relationship.
Take your bow
Encouraging "you" to take a bow, signifying closure.
Cause you only call me when
Highlighting the selective nature of "your" calls.
You've got some problem
Implies "you" contact only when facing problems.
With your other friends
Suggesting issues with "your" other friends.
No need to make amends
No need to reconcile or make amends now.
Too late now
Expressing resignation or acceptance of the situation.
Not to bother you
Acknowledging a reluctance to disturb "you."
But baby could you tell me
Asking for an explanation or information.
What do you return to me
Pose a question about what is given or returned.
Less than absolutely nothing
Receiving less than nothing, indicating disappointment.
Nothing at all
Emphasizing the absence of anything received.
Would it kill you just to see
Asking if acknowledging the speaker would be difficult.
You make me feel like I am nothing
Feeling insignificant or unnoticed by "you."
Nothing at all, at all
Reiterating a sense of nothingness in the relationship.
