I heard there's an emergency in the proximity of your home

Why don't you try to say something to me?
Inviting the listener to communicate with the speaker without fear of negative consequences.
I swear I won't bite

At this juncture, I just want to ask you
-Did you have any hopes and dreams?

-Sucking life out of all you see?
-Whoo, yeah
A repeated expression of excitement or emphasis.
I see you're still here
