Teeth
Echoes of Longing: postcard boy's Emotional Odyssey in 'Teeth'
Lyrics
To feel you
Expressing a strong desire or need to feel a connection with someone.
To feel you
-To feel you
-To feel you
-Bullet-proof, foolproof motto
Describing a sense of invulnerability and a foolproof approach to life.
Bodysuit, ironed armor
Mentioning protective measures, likened to a bodysuit and ironed armor.
If I'm not good, then I'm dying
Implying a fear of failure or not meeting expectations, with a hint of desperation.
All that we do is a mind game
Suggesting that interactions are like a psychological game.
When you gonna next see my face
Anticipation and excitement about the next encounter, with a comparison to a race.
Every single day's like a wild race
-Till' I break the finish line
-Seeing you's like the very first time
-I know that sometimes
Acknowledging that the speaker can seem easy-going, but getting used to someone is not easy.
I can come off as too easy-going
Expressing the difficulty of getting accustomed to someone, with a vivid image of touch.
But getting used to you is not an option
-And it's never crossed the feeling that I get
-Finger tips tracing your skin
-Up around the block with my soccer cleats
Recalling a past event where the speaker had aspirations of being a soccer pro and a chance meeting with the subject.
Thinking bout being a pro
-You had moved in down a couple streets
-But you and I didn't know
-Isn't that amazing
Reflecting on the surprising nature of a long-lasting connection and expressing impatience.
You and I collided
-Wasn't that you in the grass in the field?
-You've been around so long
-Isn't that amazing
-You and I collided
-Honest it's a lot more surprising to me
-That it had took so long
-Honest it's a lot more surprising to me
Repetition of the theme of impatience and the desire to see the person sooner.
That it had took so long
-(How can I wait that long)
-Honest it's a lot more surprising to me
-That it had took so long
-How can I wait that long
-How can I wait that long
-I wanna see you now
Reiteration of the immediate desire to see the person.
I wanna see you now
-I wanna see you now
-I wanna see you today
-I know that sometimes
Repeating the idea that adapting to the person is challenging and emphasizing the emotional impact.
I can come off as too easy-going
-But getting used to you is not an option
-And it's never crossed the feeling that I get
-Finger tips tracing your skin
-And the credits roll
Describing a moment of intimacy, possibly in a cinematic context, where credits are rolling.
And the credits roll
-And the credits roll in
-And we're laying here
-And we're laying here
-And we're laying again
-And the credits roll
-And the credits roll
-And the credits roll in
-And your head's on my shoulder
-And I know where it's going from here
-Isn't that amazing
Reflecting on the astonishing nature of a collision with the person and expressing surprise at the longevity of the connection.
You and I collided
-Wasn't that you in the grass in the field?
-You've been around so long
-Isn't that amazing
-You and I collided
-Honest it's a lot more surprising to me
-That it had took so long
