I Will Have To Keep An Eye On You And Win You Back When You Are Free Again
Yearning Amidst Self-Reflection: Redeeming Freedom
Lyrics
Today, I came unstuck
Expressing feeling stuck or trapped today.
By the thought of the next few months
Feeling overwhelmed by the anticipation of the upcoming months.
Pinned like paint to the ceiling
Feeling metaphorically pinned or confined, like a painting on the ceiling.
By a strange sort of feeling
Experiencing a peculiar and unfamiliar emotion.
Like a pot robbed of it's brim
Feeling incomplete, like a pot without its brim.
Unable to stop filling
Unable to control the continuous filling of emotions or thoughts.
I need an ear to collect my insides
Desiring someone to confide in and share inner feelings.
There’s a hole in the wall
Highlighting a hole in the wall, possibly symbolizing a hidden flaw or vulnerability.
Covered by the cupboard
The flaw is concealed by a cupboard, suggesting an attempt to hide imperfections.
Meant to get in a man in last May
Reference to a missed opportunity in May involving a man.
I feel so sorry for myself these days
Expressing self-pity and a sense of sorrow in current circumstances.
I am in need of such selfish things
Acknowledging a need for self-centered desires.
I will have to keep an eye on you
Expressing a commitment to monitor someone closely.
And win you back when you are free again
Committing to winning the person back once they are free.
The swooping of laces as I tie my feet
Describing the experience of tying shoelaces, possibly symbolizing preparation.
The carving of a hull where the timbers meet
Depicting the intricate process of crafting a hull where timbers meet.
The day he bolts
Referring to a significant event of someone bolting or leaving.
Keep an eye out for a straggler on the shore
Advising to be watchful for someone left behind on the shore.
Not words, nor silence, nor a song came forth
Describing a lack of communication—no words, silence, or song.
But a bubble of spit
Instead, a bubble of spit emerged, possibly symbolizing something unexpected.
Which popped and dribbled
The bubble popped and dribbled, signifying a transient and uncontrollable element.
Stretching it's arms to the floor
Describing the extension of the bubble's influence, reaching the floor.
Rippling into an ocean of suds rising hourly
Expanding into a larger and uncontrollable situation.
There’s a man in me
Suggesting an internal conflict or struggle within oneself.
Somewhere in the undergrowth
Imagining a hidden aspect within, waiting to emerge.
There’s a big man waiting for to pounce
Anticipating a significant and potentially impactful event.
I feel so sorry for myself these days
Reiterating a sense of self-pity and a need for self-centered desires.
I am in need of such selfish things
Acknowledging the ongoing need for personal satisfaction.
I will have to keep an eye on you
Reiterating the commitment to closely monitor someone.
And win you back when you are free again
Reaffirming the commitment to win the person back after their freedom is restored.
You know him well, he’s as good as they come
Describing the person as inherently good, but acknowledging the potential for disappearance.
But if he disappeared, I’d up and run
Expressing a readiness to leave if the mentioned person disappears.
Out from the undergrowth in from the port
Exiting a concealed or hidden place and arriving from the port.
