Hello It's Late
Echoes of Regret: Stone Temple Pilots' Poignant Reflections on Lost Love
Lyrics
Hello, it's late
Initiating contact, likely after a long time or at an inconvenient hour.
You know I've tried to stop the rain
An attempt to change or improve a situation that seems uncontrollable or overwhelming.
Did you read about it?
Asking if the person is aware of a particular situation or event.
Did you think about it?
Asking if the person has contemplated or considered the situation or event.
Did you cry but nothing came?
Expressing emotional distress without finding relief or release through crying.
Nothing matters again
Emphasizing a sense of insignificance or a feeling that nothing holds importance.
I didn't think it'd last that long
Surprised that a situation or circumstance persisted for an unexpectedly long time.
But I'm just sittin' on this merry-go-round
Feeling stuck or stagnant, going around in circles without progress.
And the music is too loud
Sensory overload, where the noise or distractions are too intense.
It's just a game that we used to play
Referencing a past activity or relationship that was once enjoyable.
I didn't think we'd take it all the way
Surprised by the depth or seriousness that a situation has reached.
It kills me just because it can't be erased
Pain or distress because something cannot be undone or forgotten.
We're married
Metaphorically stating a strong connection or entanglement between individuals.
Hello, it's late
Reiterating contact, still at an inconvenient or unexpected time.
I know we tried to win the game
Reflecting on efforts made to succeed in a situation or relationship.
Did you hear about it?
Asking if the person has heard news or gossip related to a situation.
Did you dream about it?
Asking if the person has imagined or wished for a different outcome.
I know you cried but nothing changed
Recognizing someone's emotional distress despite no tangible changes.
Nothing matters again
Reiterating a sense of insignificance or lack of importance.
I didn't think we'd last that long
Surprised again by the persistence of a situation or relationship.
But I'm just sittin' on this merry-go-round
Feeling stuck in a repetitive cycle without progress.
And the music is too loud
Experiencing overwhelming noise or distractions.
It's just a game that we used to play
Recalling a past activity or relationship that held significance.
I didn't think we'd take it all the way
Surprised by the extent to which a situation or relationship has developed.
It kills me just because it can't be erased
Experiencing distress because of the permanence of a situation or memory.
We're married, married
Reaffirming a deep connection or entanglement between individuals.
But I'm just sittin' on this merry-go-round
Repetition of feeling stuck in a cycle without progress.
And the music is too loud
Experiencing overwhelming noise or distractions (reiterated).
It's just a game that we used to play
Reiterating a past activity or relationship that held significance (repeated).
I didn't think we'd take it all the way
Surprised again by the extent of a situation or relationship (repeated).
It kills me just because it can't be erased
Expressing distress due to the permanence of a situation or memory (repeated).
We're married, married, married, married
Emphasizing the depth of a connection or entanglement between individuals (repeated).
