Telemiscommunications
Lost Connections: Telemiscommunications Unveiled
Lyrics
Hey babe, how's your day been?
Initiating a conversation, asking about the other person's day
No, you first
Deferring to the other person to start the conversation
Oh, what? The delay's quite bad
Noticing a communication delay and acknowledging it
Yeah, sorry
Apologizing for the delay
Where are you? I can't really hear you
Expressing difficulty in hearing due to external factors
A taxi distracted, anyway you, you were saying?
Getting distracted by a taxi; asking the other person to continue
Wait, uh, now they're waving me over
Being interrupted and asked to wrap up the conversation
Can I call you back? Yeah, everything's fine
Agreeing to call back, reassurance that everything is fine
Why, am I, I don't know why
Questioning personal emotions and well-being
I probably just need sleep, it's been a busy week
Attributing tiredness to a busy week, the need for sleep
Sorry, I've got to go
Indicating the need to end the conversation
Sorry, okay bye
Bidding farewell
This is just so unlike us
Expressing the unusual nature of the situation
Cut back to horizontalisms
Transitioning to a different perspective or aspect
If we could win just one small touch
Desiring a close connection or touch
Contact versus telemiscommunications
Comparing physical contact to distant communication
Plan foiled, the sirens pass by
Describing a disrupted plan with sirens passing by
Kids screaming
Noting chaos with kids screaming
The longest public announcement
Highlighting an extended public announcement
Reached check-in, finally got through
Reaching a checkpoint after overcoming challenges
Running for a flight, shoes off
Engaging in a rushed activity, like running for a flight
You're calling voicemail
Being unable to answer the phone, resorting to voicemail
In joke, group laughter
Sharing a group laughter moment related to an inside joke
Closing scenes in a meeting
Describing scenes closing during a meeting
Angel, angel why didn't you tell me?
Questioning why an "angel" didn't provide information
One second, someone needs directions
Interrupted by someone needing directions
Can't you see I'm on the phone?
Expressing frustration at being on the phone
This is just so unlike us
Reiteration of the unusual nature of the situation
Cut back to horizontalisms
Returning to a different perspective or aspect
If we could win just one small touch
Expressing the desire for physical touch
Contact versus telemiscommunications
Comparing contact to distant communication once again
So unlike us (unlike us)
Reaffirming the uniqueness of the situation
Cut back to horizontalisms
Returning to a different perspective or aspect
If we could win just one small touch
Desiring a close connection or touch once more
Contact versus telemiscommunications
Comparing contact to distant communication for the final time
Did I tell you I loved you today?
Repetition of questioning whether love was expressed today
Did I tell you I loved you today?
-Did I tell you I loved you today?
-Did I tell you I loved you today
-(Whoa whoa) did I tell you I loved you today?
-(Whoa whoa) did I tell you I loved you today?
-(Whoa whoa) did I tell you I loved you today?
-(Whoa whoa) did I tell you I loved you today?
