Morrow
Echoes of Love and Loss in Peter Kurt's Morrow
Lyrics
That same silver tongue
Referring to someone's persuasive or eloquent way of speaking that has been almost exhausted in waiting or passing time.
All but used to bide your time
Not very helpful or effective when in a critical situation or facing danger.
Isn't that much use
When faced with a critical situation, having a skill like a silver tongue may not be very useful.
When your head is on the line
When one's life or situation is at risk.
I'm your man and even more
The speaker is devoted and ready to offer more than before in the relationship.
Long ago you were mine
Indicates a past connection or relationship between the speaker and the person being addressed.
For I held you near and dear
The speaker used to hold the other person close and cherish them deeply during a rare and special moment.
In a moment so hard to find
A precious and elusive moment that is hard to come by.
And I'll be fine
The speaker asserts that they will manage or cope.
Not this time
Contrary to what's been said before, this time the speaker feels they won't be fine.
We went round the bend
Both individuals went through a difficult or challenging phase.
In all the sights I recalled
Recalling past experiences and memories.
All the reasons I had written
Remembering the justifications or explanations previously made for not giving up on something.
For not wanting to give it up
Reasons for holding onto or persevering despite hardships or challenges.
And that moments gonna find you
A significant moment or event will catch up with the person.
Just when things are going right
When everything seems to be going smoothly, that significant moment will resurface.
To remind you just how little it meant
To remind someone of the insignificance of something despite investing a lot of time.
All this fucking time
Expressing frustration or disbelief regarding the time spent on something.
I'll be fine
The speaker reiterates that they will manage or cope.
Not this time
Similar to line 12, the speaker feels they won't be fine this time.
I'll be fine
Repeating the sentiment of not being okay this time.
Not this time, just not this time
Strongly asserting that this specific time won't be okay.
I'll be fine, I'll be fine
Repetition emphasizing the speaker's self-reassurance.
I'll be fine, I'll be fine
I'll be fine, I'll be fine
-Baby, I will be alright
Offering comfort or reassurance to oneself or someone else.
I'll be fine, I'll be fine
I'll be fine, I'll be fine
-(I will be alright)
Reiteration of the reassurance of being alright.
I'll be fine, I'll be fine
I will be alright
The speaker will eventually be okay, but perhaps not during this particular instance.
Just maybe not this time
(I will be alright)
Repeating the sentiment of eventual recovery but hinting at uncertainty for the current situation.
