Boring Dystopia
Yearning Echoes: Jaws Of You's Boring Dystopia Unveiled
Lyrics
Oh hey, I'll wait for you it feels a lifetime
Expressing a willingness to wait, feeling like a long time.
Don't you mind
Asking the listener not to be bothered or concerned.
You say, you're searching for a world that's gone away
Stating a desire to find a world that has disappeared.
Gone away
Reiterating the idea of a world being lost or gone.
And I called you up at least a few times
Mentioning attempts to contact the listener multiple times.
And I still feel the same thing
Feeling the same emotions despite efforts to connect.
Won't you come for me then stay where you are?
Requesting the listener to come but stay in their current state.
Don't you care for me? No call on the line
Expressing concern about the lack of communication.
Won't you come for me then stay where you are?
Repeating the desire for the listener to come but stay unchanged.
Wanted desperately to wake in your arms
Expressing a strong longing to wake up in the listener's arms.
I'll lay awake forever stay on my mind
Committing to staying awake and keeping the person in mind.
All the time
Emphasizing that the person is on the mind all the time.
Hey, I guess it doesn't matter anyway
Indicating that certain things don't matter in the grand scheme.
Anyway
Repeating the sentiment that certain things don't matter.
And I call but there's nothing for me to say
Calling but finding nothing significant to say.
And I still feel the same thing
Continuing to feel the same emotions despite attempts to reach out.
Won't you come for me then stay where you are?
Requesting the listener to come and stay as they are.
Don't you care for me? No call on the line
Expressing concern about the lack of communication, again.
Won't you come for me then stay where you are?
Reiterating the desire for the listener to come and stay unchanged.
Wanted desperately to wake in your arms
Repeating the strong longing to wake up in the listener's arms.
I picked a rock from the ground I thought that you had lost
Describing a symbolic act of picking up something thought to be lost.
I watched the sun go down you were sitting there across
Observing a moment as the sun sets with the person in view.
And I'd hold my breath and I'd kiss your tongue
Recalling intimate moments like holding breath and kissing.
Is that all that's left?
Raising a question about what remains in the relationship.
Is there anyone?
Expressing uncertainty about the presence of anyone.
Won't you come for me then stay where you are?
Repeating the request for the listener to come and stay unchanged.
Don't you care for me? No call on the line
Reiterating concern about the lack of communication.
(I'd like to see right through)
Suggesting a desire to see through a situation or person.
Won't you come for me then stay where you are?
Repeating the request for the listener to come and stay unchanged, with added emphasis.
(I'm not just home for anyone)
Indicating that the speaker is not just at home for anyone.
Wanted desperately to wake in your arms
Repeating the strong longing to wake up in the listener's arms with added emphasis.
