Alone Time
Embracing Solitude: Rufus Wainwright's Melodic Retreat
Lyrics
I need a little alone time
I need some time alone for myself
A little dream time
A period to dream and reflect
But don't worry, I will be back, baby
Reassurance that the absence is temporary, addressing a loved one
I need a little be-gone time
A desire for time away, to be free or distant
A little on-my-own time
Emphasizing the need for personal, independent time
But don't worry, I will be back, baby
Reassuring a loved one about the return after being away
To get you on the Mists of Avalon
Referencing the mythical realm of Avalon to convey a mystical or romantic element
To save you from the cliffs of lovers leaping off
Expressing the intention to rescue or protect from the challenges of love
And on and off and on and off and on
Repetition suggests the cyclical nature of relationships with ups and downs
I need a little alone time
Reiteration of the need for personal time and dreaming
A little dream time
Highlighting the importance of dreaming during alone time
Don't worry, I will be back, baby
Reassurance of returning to the loved one after the alone time
I need a little be-gone time
Expressing a need to be away, possibly to recharge or find oneself
A little on-my-own time
Stressing the desire for solitary moments
But don't worry, I will be back, baby
Reassurance of a forthcoming return despite the separation
To get you on the wings of a perfect song
Desiring to elevate the loved one through the beauty of a perfect song
To save you from these stings of having to turn off
Wanting to shield the loved one from emotional pain or hardships
And on and off and on and off and on
Repetition emphasizing the cyclical nature of emotional experiences
I need a little alone time
Reiteration of the need for personal time and dreaming
A little dream time
Emphasizing the importance of dream time in solitude
But don't worry, I will be back, baby
Reassurance of returning to the loved one after the alone time
I need a little be-gone time
Expressing a desire for distance or time away
A little on-my-own time
Stressing the importance of individual moments
But don't worry, I will be back, baby
Reassurance of a return to the relationship despite the separation
To get you
Emphasizing the intention to reach or connect with the loved one
To get you
Repetition for emphasis on the desire to reach the loved one
To get you
Continued emphasis on the intention to reach or connect with the loved one
To get you
Repeated emphasis on the desire to reach or connect with the loved one
