Strange Entity
Echoes of Longing: Oscar and the Wolf's 'Strange Entity' Unraveled
Lyrics
So take good care of me
Expressing vulnerability, requesting care and attention
I follow all you need
Committing to fulfill the other person's needs
And I'll take good care of you
Promising to take care of the other person
But you're heartless, you're heartless
Describing the other person as heartless, lacking emotion
You turn it into your own
Accusing the person of taking ownership and control
So tie me back to my bones
Suggesting being bound or restricted, possibly by the relationship
Collect your love and mend my heart
Requesting emotional support and healing
But you're fearless, you're fearless
Labeling the other person as fearless, unafraid
But I'll take care of your mind
Commitment to taking care of the other person's mind
I lost you, I miss you, I wanna hold you
Expressing loss, longing, and the desire to hold the person
So don't you deny it
Asking the person not to deny the emotions or reality
I lost you, I miss you, I wanna hold you
Reiterating feelings of loss and the desire for closeness
So come back
Requesting the person to return
Ooh, I miss you, I wanna hold you
Continuing to express longing and the wish to hold the person
So come back, come back
Reiterating the request for the person to come back
So take good care of me
Repeating the plea for care and attention
I follow all you need
Recommitting to fulfilling the other person's needs
And I'll take good care of you
Reassuring to take care of the other person despite their perceived heartlessness
But you're heartless, you're heartless
Repeating the label of the other person as heartless
So rest your head and fear my eyes
Encouraging the person to find solace, implying protection
For they won't come inside
Suggesting a barrier to emotional intimacy
Cry me rivers, spin me round
Describing emotional pain and spinning emotions
But you're harmless, you're harmless
Contradicting the earlier label, calling the person harmless
But I'll take care of your mind
Reiterating the commitment to care for the other person's mind
I lost you, I miss you, I wanna hold you
Expressing the emotions of loss, missing, and the desire to hold
So don't you deny it
Advising the person not to deny the emotional connection
I lost you, I miss you, I wanna hold you
Reiterating the feelings of loss and the desire for physical closeness
So come back
Repeating the plea for the person to return
Ooh, I miss you, I wanna hold you
Reiterating the longing and the wish to hold the person
So come back, come back
Repeating the request for the person to come back
I see transfixions of
Referring to intense fixation or obsession
I see transfixions of
Repeating the theme of fixation or obsession
But I'll take care of your mind
Reiterating the commitment to care for the other person's mind
I lost you, I miss you, I wanna hold you
Repeating the emotions of loss, missing, and the desire to hold
So don't you deny it
Encouraging acknowledgment of the emotional connection
I lost you, I miss you, I wanna hold you
Reiterating the feelings of loss and the desire for physical closeness
So come back
Repeating the plea for the person to return
Ooh, I miss you, I wanna hold you
Reiterating the longing and the wish to hold the person
So come back, come back
Repeating the request for the person to come back
So all I know, guess it's you and I
Expressing a realization that the connection is significant, a shared experience
So all I know, guess it's you and I
Repeating the acknowledgment of the shared connection
So all I know, guess it's you and I
