There She Walks
Whispers in Concrete: Unspoken Longings and Homemade Fairy Rhymes
Lyrics
There she walks, don't waste your time go to her
Feeling urgency, advising to approach her without hesitation.
tell her all the pretty lies you want to say.
Encouraging to express admiration with flattering words.
There she walks, don't count your lines, just say the words
Emphasizing spontaneity, suggesting to speak sincerely without overthinking.
you're dying, boy, inside your chest to say.
Highlighting inner turmoil and a strong desire to confess feelings.
And you'll always feel a little shy
Acknowledging a persistent sense of shyness or hesitation.
about your homemade fairy rhymes,
Referencing personal, perhaps unpolished, expressions of affection.
and never feel the time is right
Expressing a perpetual feeling of the wrong timing for expression.
to say the thing that's on your mind,
Highlighting the difficulty in verbalizing thoughts and emotions.
but the things are piling up, and you're running out of time.
Stressing the urgency due to accumulating unspoken feelings.
There she walks, her footsteps are a whisper in the darkness,
Describing her presence as subtle, mysterious, and almost imperceptible.
black ink stars that glide away.
Depicting a poetic image of celestial bodies fading into the distance.
There you stand, your two legs full of concrete
Painting a picture of someone immobilized and silenced.
and a tongue that's been cut out and thrown away.
Suggesting a lost ability to speak, possibly due to emotional restraint.
And you'll always feel a little shy
Reiterating a perpetual sense of shyness or reservation.
about your homemade fairy rhymes,
Recalling the theme of personal, unpolished expressions of affection.
and never feel the time is right
Reiterating the perpetual feeling of mistimed expressions.
to say the thing that's on your mind.
Underlining the struggle to vocalize inner thoughts and emotions.
But the things are piling up, and you're running out of time.
Reinforcing the urgency to express feelings as time is running out.
