Someone to Pull the Trigger
Yearning Shots: Unveiling the Emotional Abyss in Matthew Sweet's Melodic Cry
Lyrics
Well I'm loaded and ready
Expressing readiness and preparedness.
Calmly holding steady
Maintaining composure and stability.
Looking for a sign to show me when
Searching for a sign or indication of the right moment.
Well I'm waiting and willing
Being patient and open to possibilities.
The clarity is chilling
Feeling a chilling clarity about the situation.
But I'm not turning back
Committing to a path and not looking back.
And neither can you
Emphasizing that turning back is not an option.
I need someone to pull the trigger
Expressing a need for someone else to take decisive action.
'Cause there's a hole in my heart getting bigger
Describing an emotional void that is expanding.
And everything I'll ever be I've been
Reflecting on one's past and acknowledging personal history.
And I need someone to pull the trigger
Reiterating the need for someone else to make a crucial decision.
So if you're what I think you'll be
Predicting the actions of another based on expectations.
If you're who I think I see -- shoot
Encouraging or challenging someone to take action.
So hold me and love me
Expressing a desire for emotional connection and affection.
Tie me up and drug me
Symbolic language suggesting vulnerability and surrender.
'Cause I'm not gonna beg you for my life
Rejecting the idea of begging for one's life.
I need someone to pull the trigger
Repeating the need for someone else to take decisive action.
'Cause there's a hole in my heart getting bigger
Reiterating the growing emotional void and its impact.
And everything I'll ever be I've been
Reflecting on the entirety of one's experiences and self.
And I need someone to pull the trigger
Stressing the urgency for someone else to make a critical decision.
So if you're what I think you'll be
Repeating the anticipation of another's actions based on expectations.
If you're who I think I see shoot
Directly urging or challenging someone to take action.
