Open Containers
Echoes of Longing: Open Containers and the Search for Healing
Lyrics
Waiting on an old time friend
Expressing anticipation for the arrival of a long-time friend.
Someone to hear me out again
Desiring someone who will listen and understand once more.
Tell me what your looking for
Seeking clarification about the other person's intentions or desires.
Tell me not to hurt you anymore
Pleading to be informed not to cause further emotional pain.
Waiting on an old time friend
Reiteration of waiting for the arrival of an old friend.
Someone to hear me out again
Reiterating the desire for someone to lend an ear.
Open Containers and heavy eyes
Reference to consuming alcohol ("Open Containers") and feeling tired or intoxicated ("heavy eyes").
Broken disclaimer and we survived
Reflecting on surviving challenges despite a broken disclaimer (unmet expectations or warnings).
Waiting on your own true love
Waiting for a genuine love, someone capable of romantic gestures like kissing in the rain.
Someone who can kiss you in the rain
Describing a desired quality in a romantic partner.
Someone who can hold your hand
Expressing the desire for physical closeness and connection.
Someone who can break this tired old theme
Seeking someone who can break free from monotonous or repetitive patterns in the relationship.
Baby when you lay me down
Finding solace and forgetting past mistakes when being intimate.
I forget about the pain I caused you
Personal acknowledgment of causing pain in the past.
Tell me what your looking for
Repetition of the request for clarity about the other person's desires.
Tell me not to hurt you anymore
Reiteration of the plea not to cause further harm.
Open Containers and heavy eyes
Reiteration of consuming alcohol and feeling tired or intoxicated.
Broken disclaimer and we survived
Reflecting on surviving challenges despite a broken disclaimer.
Please just call my name
Requesting a call for help or support when the individual has reached their limit.
When I'v had all I can take
Repeating the call for assistance in times of overwhelming stress or difficulty.
Please just call my name
Reiterating the need for someone to reach out and provide support during times of change.
When everything has changed
Expressing the desire for connection even when everything around has changed.
