Lyrics
Another day, another welcome mat,
Expressing the repetitiveness of daily life and the welcoming but ultimately forgettable nature of experiences.
A door engraved with 28, I won't remember that.
The specific door number (28) is mentioned, but it holds no significance, emphasizing the forgetfulness of details.
These corridors, they never lead to anywhere
The sense of being stuck in unfulfilling situations or routines, with no clear direction.
Another face, a late reminder of
Encountering another person, but the past has made the narrator accustomed to being taken advantage of.
How I'm so used to being used
Reflecting on a history of being used by others, leading to a reluctance to embrace love.
So, I don't carry love
Choosing not to carry love, possibly due to past disappointments or betrayals.
My hands, they pay respect to what they once could bare
Hands that have endured hardships, paying respect to their past strength.
Oh, how I wish you'd hold them now, but you're not there
Expressing a desire for someone absent to hold the narrator's hands.
Why don't we talk
Expressing a desire for communication and understanding.
Why don't we talk?
-I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Openly admitting loneliness and seeking comfort through physical contact.
Oh please can you hold me
-That's all I ask
A simple request for companionship without any elaborate demands.
No more than that
-I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Reiterating the feeling of loneliness and the longing for someone to hold the narrator.
Oh why can't you hold me?
-All it was, was wishing you'd not stall
Reflecting on past hopes and wishes that didn't materialize, leading to a sense of loss.
And hoping I preserved the coating on these pebble walls
-But misconstrued, I'll always lose what I can't solve
-The hanging on to ambiguity
Expressing a difficulty in holding onto unclear or ambiguous situations, especially in a strained relationship.
Each stone I hold's a sequence shown on every road that we followed,
-but, now we don't speak, no
-Why don't we talk
Repeating the question about the lack of communication in the relationship.
Why don't we talk?
-I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Reiterating loneliness and the plea for physical connection.
Oh please can you hold me
-That's all I ask
Requesting simple companionship without asking for more.
No more than that
-I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Expressing loneliness and the desire for someone to hold the narrator, echoing earlier sentiments.
Oh why can't you hold me?
-You're serving a purpose
Acknowledging the role of someone in the narrator's life, but questioning its value and worth.
In a life that hurts
-But bound to the surface
-You'll forget what it's worth
-You've never looked better
Commenting on the external appearance, suggesting a facade that hides true feelings.
Suppressed and reserved
-Why don't we talk
Continuing to question the lack of communication in the relationship.
Why don't we talk?
-I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Reiterating loneliness and the plea for physical connection.
Oh please can you hold me
-That's all I ask
Requesting simple companionship without asking for more.
No more than that
-I'm lonely, I'm lonely
Expressing loneliness and the desire for someone to hold the narrator, echoing earlier sentiments.
Oh why can't you hold me?
