She Don't
Yearning Echoes: Unraveling the Depths of Desire in 'She Don't'
Lyrics
I thought I thought
I had a belief or assumption
Walking her to her door
Accompanying her to her door
Would tell her all she needs to know
Expected this action to convey essential information about myself
About me
About who I am
I could be wrong
There's a possibility I could be mistaken
I'm trying hard to not assume
Actively avoiding making assumptions
I'm letting go so I don't lose
Releasing control to prevent losing hope
All hope
Preserving optimism
Her skin was soft but her walls were stone
Her exterior seemed tender, but emotionally distant
Like the concrete steps leading to her home
Comparing her emotional walls to solid steps
She told me I could walk but couldn't climb
She allowed physical proximity but set emotional boundaries
When she cuts her teeth with what she wants
Metaphorically describing her assertiveness
And if it's me, I won't bite my tongue
If she chooses me, I won't hold back my feelings
But til she tells me so, it'll stay a thought
Until she explicitly communicates, it remains a thought
That she don't need me
She doesn't require my presence
Makes me want her more
Her independence intensifies my desire for her
Makes me want her more
Reiteration of the longing caused by her self-sufficiency
And she don't
Emphasizing that she doesn't
I know I know
Confirming previous realization
Maybe I'm a hypocrite
Acknowledging potential inconsistency in beliefs
Cause she don't need a man to live
She can live independently without a man
No she don't
Reiteration of her self-sufficiency
But all I that want
All I desire
Is for her to hear me when I say
Expressing a wish for her to listen to my feelings
I kiss to give never kiss to take away
My kisses are gestures of giving, not taking
She don't need me
She doesn't depend on me
Makes me want her more
Intensifying desire due to her independence
Makes me want her more
Reiteration of the heightened attraction
And she don't
Emphasizing her lack of need for him
Oh God release me
Appealing to a higher power for liberation
I've never felt this kind of hold
Experiencing an unprecedented emotional grip
Never felt this kind of hold before
Never encountered such a strong emotional hold before
Cause she don't she don't
Repetition of her not needing him
She don't she don't
Further emphasis on her independence
She don't need me makes me want her more
She doesn't need him, fueling desire
She don't she don't
Reiterating her lack of dependency
She don't she don't
Continued emphasis on her self-sufficiency
She don't need me makes me want her more
She doesn't need him, intensifying longing
I'm gonna fly
Expressing a desire to soar
But she won't even throw me
She won't support or encourage my endeavors
She won't even throw me
Emphasizing her refusal to assist
Won't try
She won't even make an attempt
