Anything at All
Yearning Echoes: Shorty and The Grooves' Quest for Connection
Lyrics
Same damn thing, each and every day
Expressing frustration or monotony in daily life.
Sitting all alone in my room
Describing a sense of isolation in a personal space.
Waiting for something to believe in
Anticipating the need for something meaningful to believe in.
Like something to believe in is all I need
Emphasizing the desire for a belief system or purpose.
Leaves tumble to the ground
Observing the changing seasons with leaves falling.
Yellow and brown
Noting specific colors (yellow and brown) of the falling leaves.
Sun filters through the trees
Describing a scenic setting with sunlight filtering through trees.
Just like a movie scene
Comparing the scene to a movie, possibly implying an idealized view.
Oh yeah I am reaching out
Expressing an effort to connect or seek something.
For
Empty placeholder indicating anticipation or suspense.
Anything at all
Expressing a broad desire for any positive experience.
For anything at all
Reiterating the desire for anything positive or meaningful.
Three a.m. I find myself swiping through faces and names
Describing late-night activities involving online profiles.
After an hour or two, I feel worse than I did before
Expressing disappointment or negative feelings after the activity.
It's funny how you're all right here but you feel so far away
Noting a paradox of physical proximity but emotional distance.
You take off your mask but you don't say a thing
Describing a situation where true feelings are hidden.
Leaves tumble to the ground
Repeating the image of leaves falling, possibly signifying change.
Yellow and brown
Reiterating the colors of falling leaves for emphasis.
Sun filters through the trees
Recreating the picturesque scene with sunlight through trees.
Just like a movie scene
Restating the cinematic quality of the observed scene.
Oh yeah I am reaching out
Reaffirming the desire to connect or seek something positive.
For
Repeating the placeholder, emphasizing the ongoing anticipation.
Anything at all
Reiterating the broad desire for any positive experience.
For anything at all
Emphasizing once again the desire for anything positive or meaningful.
For anything at all
Continuing the expression of a broad desire for positive experiences.
For anything at all
Concluding with a repetition of the desire for anything positive or meaningful.
