Flare Gun
Yearning Conversations: Lost Love and Unspoken Words
Lyrics
I feel so tired
The speaker feels exhausted or emotionally drained.
But you don't seem to care
The person they're addressing doesn't appear to show concern or care about the speaker's tiredness or emotional state.
You started a fire
The other person initiated or caused trouble, represented metaphorically as starting a fire.
So I shot up my flare
The speaker responded by signaling for help or seeking attention by using a metaphorical "flare" (a signal for aid in distress).
All I wanted was a conversation
The speaker desired a meaningful conversation with the other person.
Tell me what you're thinking of
Asking the other person to express their thoughts or feelings openly.
What's the problem love
Seeking to understand what might be troubling the other person, using "love" as an endearing term for the other.
Wearing my heart on my sleeve
Expressing vulnerability by openly displaying emotions and feelings.
It's getting hard for her to speak
Difficulty in communicating due to emotional strain or distress.
Tell me what you want
The speaker wants clarity on the desires or needs of the other person.
I wrote you a letter
The speaker wrote a heartfelt message to the other person.
It meant every word it said
Emphasizing the sincerity and truthfulness of the letter.
You threw it in the fire
The other person disregarded or dismissed the sincerity by destroying the letter.
Along with All the time I spend
The destruction of the letter also symbolizes the wasted time invested in the relationship.
All I wanted was a conversation
Reiterating the desire for meaningful communication.
Tell me what you're thinking of
Requesting openness and sharing of thoughts from the other person.
What's the problem love
Asking about the specific issue or difficulty the other person might be facing, using "love" as an endearing term.
Wearing my heart on my sleeve
Continuing to express vulnerability through emotions.
It's getting hard for her to speak
Expressing increasing difficulty in expressing emotions or thoughts.
Tell me what you want
Seeking clarification on the desires or needs of the other person.
You said being content
Quoting the other person's viewpoint on contentment versus being alone.
Was better than alone
Expressing disagreement or dissatisfaction with the other person's viewpoint based on the current situation.
Well look where we are now
Highlighting the irony of the current circumstances compared to the advice given.
You said things take time
Referencing the notion of patience but remarking on the lack of progress in the relationship.
But we haven't moved at all
Stating that despite time passing, there has been no improvement or change.
All I wanted was a conversation
Reiterating the desire for meaningful communication.
Tell me what you're thinking of
Asking again for the other person's thoughts or feelings to be shared openly.
What's the problem love
Seeking to understand the issue troubling the other person, using "love" as an endearing term.
Wearing my heart on my sleeve
Continuing to show vulnerability through emotions.
It's getting hard for her to speak
Highlighting increasing difficulty in expressing emotions or thoughts.
Tell me what you want
Repeating the request for clarification on the desires or needs of the other person.
All I wanted was a conversation
Reiterating the desire for meaningful communication.
Tell me what you're thinking of
Asking once more for the other person's thoughts or feelings to be openly shared.
What's the problem love
Seeking to understand the issue troubling the other person, using "love" as an endearing term.
