Limbo
Embracing Uncertainty: Living in Limbo
Lyrics
I could spend the night or I could go
I have the option to stay the night or leave
(Yeah) I could live my life in limbo
Contemplating living a life in a state of uncertainty or indecision
I'm not good at saying no
Expressing difficulty in refusing or rejecting things
Give a bit and stay in the middle (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Offering some but not fully committing, staying in a middle ground
It's like getting water from the moon
Comparing a challenging situation to getting water from the moon (impossible)
(Yeah) I couldn't if I wanted to
Even if I wanted to, I couldn't do it
L-I-M-B-O
Repetition and emphasis on living in limbo, undecided state
L-I-M-B-O
-L-I-M-B-O
-I could spend the night or I could go
-L-I-M-B-O
-I could live my life in limbo
-I'm not good at saying no (saying no)
Admitting difficulty in refusing or saying no
Makes me want to cry in a pillow (cry in a pillow, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Expressing emotional distress, possibly caused by difficulty in saying no
I could be a little up
Possibly feeling a bit elevated or happy
Feeling like a little love (up, up)
Feeling the presence of a little love
The feelings gonna pull me down
Anticipating a downturn in emotions
Saying that it's late enough
Stating it's late enough, possibly suggesting it's time to make a decision
Saying that it's late enough
-L-I-M-B-O
Reiteration of the theme of living in limbo
I could spend the night or I could go
-Ooh, ooh
-L-I-M-B-O
-L-I-M-B-O
-I could spend the night or I could go
-L-i-m-b-o (yeah)
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Expressing frustration or impatience
You never try me
Encouraging someone to try, questioning why they haven't
Why
-Come on and try me
-Why, why
-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Reiteration of frustration or impatience
You never try me
Repeating the encouragement to try, questioning the lack of action
Why
-Come on and try me
-Why, why
