Unraveling Desires: Popsiclestickairport's Reflection on Longing
Lyrics
It's been a while
Expressing the passage of a significant amount of time.
It's been a while, man
Reiterating the sentiment of a prolonged period since last encountering someone.
Since I've seen you so sure
Noticing a change in someone's confidence or certainty.
How many times will you fold
Questioning someone's tendency to give up or back down.
It's been a minute,
Highlighting the passage of a short period.
Been a minute, girl
Emphasizing the brevity of time since hearing about someone.
Since I've heard about you
Referencing a lack of recent updates or information about someone.
How many times will you fold
Repeating the inquiry about someone's tendency to fold or give up.
"I'm chasing all the things I want
Quoting a person expressing pursuit but achieving nothing.
I got exactly nothing for it
Indicating the lack of tangible results despite efforts.
I couldn't get enough" you said
Recalling someone stating insufficiency in obtaining desires.
"I couldn't get enough" you said
-"To me it seems that all I need
Expressing the frustration of essential needs eluding the speaker.
Just runs and sprints away from me
-I couldn't get enough" you said
Reiterating the dissatisfaction of not obtaining enough.
"I couldn't get enough" you said
-But you know that you want to
Acknowledging desire or need despite challenges.
And you know that you need it too
Affirming awareness of one's desires and needs.
And if that's the case then what is on your mind
Prompting reflection on what occupies one's thoughts.
Wasting time and caring too much
Warning against wasting time and excessive concern.
Don't believe you're giving it up
Casting doubt on the likelihood of giving up.
And if that's the case then what is on your mind
Encouraging introspection about thoughts and intentions.
And tell me when
Prompting a query about when someone will stop self-sabotage.
Tell me when will you leave yourself alone
Expressing disbelief in someone's actions.
I can't believe
Asking for clarification or information.
Tell me please
Seeking information about someone's intentions.
I know that you wanna know
Acknowledging the speaker's understanding of the desire for information.
One shot; enough
Noting the importance of taking decisive action.
How many times will you fold
Reiterating the questioning of someone's inclination to give up.
Give in to your own bluff
-How many times will you fold
Advising against succumbing to one's own deception.

Take it back, you're only getting smaller
Describing a cyclical pattern of regression and apprehension about the future.
I'm so scared I'm only getting older
-Off and on, we're waiting for tomorrow
-Legs can't fight we're waiting for tomorrow
-Take it back, you're only getting smaller
