Rescuing Fragments: Unveiling the Shadows of SoHo
Lyrics
Just tell me what you need
Expressing willingness to provide support or assistance.
I'll come running
Commitment to be there promptly when needed.
You looked over your shoulder
Observation of the person's cautious demeanor.
You saw nothing
Perception of no immediate threat or danger.
Cause you're so paranoid
Noting excessive anxiety likely from a past event.
From that night in SoHo
Reference to a traumatic incident in SoHo.
When he stole your
Alluding to the theft of innocence by someone else.
Innocence from you
Impact of a past negative experience.
Oh don't you feel so scared
Acknowledging the fear and offering reassurance.
I'm right here
Availability for conversation and support.
Talk to me all night
Openness to extended dialogue throughout the night.
And we can disappear
Suggesting escape from current troubles together.
Cause I know what he did to you
Acknowledgment of awareness regarding past trauma.
Oh it took its toll
Recognition of the lasting impact of the mentioned incident.
In one more way than I can understand
Acknowledging difficulty in fully understanding the toll.
I saw you in a crowded room
Spotting the person in a crowded, possibly distracting setting.
Full of smoke and lights
Description of the environment with smoke and lights.
And rich champagne but cheap perfume
Contrasting opulence with the presence of inexpensive perfume.
Then he followed you away
Noting the person being followed away, implying concern.
I didn't know what to say
Expressing uncertainty in responding appropriately.
But next time I will
Commitment to be more prepared and responsive next time.
But maybe that's not good enough
Expressing doubt about one's adequacy.
Oh my oh my do I demand enough
Questioning personal expectations and demands.
Do I demand enough of myself
Reflecting on whether personal expectations are sufficient.
What was I thinking that night
Expressing uncertainty about one's mindset on a particular night.
Oh now I know I wasn't thinking right
Recognizing a lapse in judgment on that specific occasion.
This isn't good for your mental health
Acknowledging the negative impact on mental health.
So just take me away
Expressing a desire to be taken away from the current situation.
Get me outta here right now
Urgency in wanting to leave the current environment immediately.
I cant find the answers
Expressing difficulty in finding solutions without clear questions.
If I don't have the questions
Emphasizing the need for relevant questions to find answers.
For crying out loud
An exclamation about the frustration of the situation.
What do you expect me to do?
Questioning what is expected of the person in the current situation.
Someone raise me better?
Expressing a desire for better upbringing or guidance.
Can we raise them better?
Pondering the possibility of improving future generations.
I think so too
Belief in the ability to instill and receive respect.
You've gotta give respect
Stressing the importance of giving respect to earn it.
To gain respect
Highlighting the universal truth of reciprocal respect.
And that's just truth
Reiteration of the importance of mutual respect.
Oh you know it is
Affirmation of the truthfulness of the previous statement.
Oh you know it is
Repetition for emphasis.
Oh you know it is
Continued emphasis on the importance of mutual respect.
Just tell me what you need
Reiterating the willingness to offer support on demand.
I'll come running
Reassurance of immediate assistance and support.
I'll look over your shoulder for you
Commitment to vigilance and protection.
There's nothing
Affirmation of the absence of immediate threats.
