Last Night
Ephemeral Love: Married in a Taxi
Lyrics
It;s everywhere surrounding me, the heat of it.
Feeling surrounded by an omnipresent force or emotion, described as heat.
It plays so deep inside, I didn't want you to,
An internal experience that was not intended to be revealed.
Wake the lion that we hushed (wake the lion) to sleep
Refers to awakening or stirring up a powerful and potentially dangerous force (lion).
But its so tender that I don't care where it's leading me.
The powerful force is gentle, and the singer is indifferent to its direction.
Last night, we got married in a taxi
Describes a symbolic marriage occurring in unconventional circumstances (taxi).
I swear I loved you, yes I love you like there's no tomorrow
Expressing deep love with a sense of urgency and commitment.
And I've got no time, for second thoughts now
No time for hesitation or doubts at this moment.
We got tonight and then I have to go.
Acknowledging a limited time together before parting.
Oh, my body shivers. (oh oh uh)
Physical reaction indicating intense emotions.
I've got this feeling of 'tambien'
Feeling similar to 'tambien,' possibly a reference to shared emotions.
Its just that someone used to stay here (she had a)
A memory of someone who used to occupy the same space.
She had a fear of getting close to the fire.
Describing the person's fear of getting too close to something dangerous (fire).
Uh its gonna break me heart, I know it.
Acknowledging the emotional pain that is expected to come.
I'm at sea now, I'm falling, baby.
Feeling lost or overwhelmed, falling emotionally.
Last night, we got married in a taxi
Repetition of the symbolic marriage in a taxi, emphasizing the experience.
I swear I loved you, yes I love you like there's no tomorrow
Reiterating deep and urgent love with a focus on the present moment.
And I've got no time, for second thoughts now
Emphasizing the lack of time for doubts or second thoughts.
We got tonight and then I have to go.
Highlighting the limited time before the inevitable separation.
Last night, we got married in a taxi
Repeating the symbolic marriage, reinforcing its significance.
I swear I loved you, I love you like there's no tomorrow
Reaffirming love with a strong sense of immediacy.
And I've got no time, for second thoughts now
Stressing the absence of time for doubts or reconsideration.
We got tonight and then I have to go.
Reiterating the temporary nature of their time together before parting.
