Apples
Seeking Substance Amidst Loss: Little May's "Apples
Lyrics
I'm trying to find something to hold onto
I'm in search of something to grasp onto.
I'm running out of black ink, can you lend me some?
I'm running out of resources or inspiration (represented by black ink); can you provide some?
Just lock it down and hold it 'til it's not breathing
Suggests a desire to secure or control something until it loses vitality or significance.
I heard that you have been studying your art
Heard that you've been dedicated to honing your craft or skills.
Well, I hope that you have found your home
Wishing that the person has found their place or comfort in their pursuits.
It seems fitting that you went and blacklisted me
It seems appropriate that you have excluded or rejected me.
Because, thank God, I think I've found my own
Expressing gratitude for discovering one's own path or identity.
I'm running out of apples, can you give me some?
Running out of options or resources (apples); seeking assistance.
Money I will pay you back if I get the chance
Promising to repay money if given the opportunity.
I guarantee my profit will go to you
Ensuring that any gains or success will be shared with the person providing help.
A profit I haven't seen before
Anticipating a level of success that hasn't been experienced before.
I wish to be governed by something else
Expressing a desire to be guided or influenced by something different.
I can't hold your hand while you wash away our dreams
Unable to offer support while the other person undermines or destroys their shared aspirations.
And it's been pissing down in Sydney for three weeks
Referring to unfavorable conditions in Sydney, potentially reflecting personal struggles.
But oh thank God, it doesn't feel so alone
Despite challenges, finding solace or companionship.
I'm running out of apples, can you give me some?
Reiterating the need for assistance or support with diminishing resources.
Money I will pay you back if I get the chance
Reassuring the willingness to repay financial help if given the chance.
I guarantee my profit will go to you
Committing to sharing any resulting gains or profits with the benefactor.
A profit I haven't seen before
Expecting a level of financial success that has not been attained previously.
I'm running out of apples, can you give me some?
Repeating the plea for assistance or support due to depleting resources.
Money I will pay you back if I get the chance
Reiterating the promise to repay borrowed money given the opportunity.
I guarantee my profit will go to you
Affirming the commitment to share any newfound profits with the supporter.
A profit I haven't seen before
Anticipating a level of financial success that hasn't been experienced before.
