Message to Mine
Escaping Pain: Mark Lanegan's Musical Journey Through Forgetfulness
Lyrics
Oh, It's good
Expressing satisfaction or approval
Baby, to make me forget
Highlighting the positive impact of something in helping to forget
Oh, so good
Reiteration of the positive feeling or experience
Baby, so good to make me forget
Emphasizing the positive effect on forgetting
Forget myself again
Repeating the theme of forgetting oneself through the positive experience
I walk down, the steps to the river
Describing a physical movement towards a river
With my outfit, full set to deliver
Referring to being fully prepared to deliver or act
And the minute it's done
Describing the completion of a task or action
There's nothin' but time
Highlighting the abundance of time
On a pay telephone, I send a message to mine
Using a payphone to communicate with someone important
Yeah, it's good
Reiterating the positive nature of the experience
So good baby
Expressing pleasure or approval
Because it makes me forget
Highlighting the impact on memory
Oh, so good
Reiterating the positive impact on memory
So good baby
Expressing pleasure or approval
Because it makes me forget
Highlighting the impact on memory
Forget myself again
Repeating the theme of forgetting oneself through the positive experience
Upstairs, slower on my feet
Describing a slower movement upstairs
Got to get to the corner and I know it's getting late
Expressing urgency to reach a destination
At the cold polar ice
Describing a location, possibly metaphorical, as the end of the line
End of the line
Expressing a potential consequence of not waking up
If I don't wake up
Using a payphone to communicate in case of a significant event
Send a message to mine
Reiterating the positive nature of the experience
Oh it's good
Expressing satisfaction or approval
So good baby
Reiterating the positive impact on memory
Because it makes me forget, forget myself again
Emphasizing the impact on forgetting oneself
Seventeen steps down to the river
Describing a physical movement towards a river
With my outfit, full set to deliver
Referring to being fully prepared to deliver or act
And the floodlights shine
Describing the intense brightness of floodlights
Blindin' my eye
Describing the blinding effect on vision
On the pay telephone, I send a message to mine
Using a payphone to communicate with someone important
Back down, early in the morning
Describing a return downstairs early in the morning
Same building, different story
Indicating a similar location but with a different experience
Well the room here's free and it's easy to find
Highlighting the availability and ease of finding a free room
The tricks of her frame send a message to mine
Referring to the impact of certain actions on communication with someone important
Yeah it's good
Expressing satisfaction or approval
