Double Day
Intoxicating Revelry: Double Day's Confession of Love and Paranoia
Lyrics
It was a Saturday
Setting the scene on a Saturday.
I came home early drunk with love
Returning home early, intoxicated with love.
And other things
Hints at other emotions or experiences.
I must confess I love it all
Confessing love for everything, possibly the complexities of life.
Pretend that I can hardly wait
Pretending impatience to remove someone's smile.
To wipe that smile off of your face
Expressing a desire to wipe away happiness.
It's only when
Contextualizing the desire within specific circumstances.
On that you can depend
Emphasizing the reliability of this desire.
Later that afternoon
Paranoia taking over later in the day.
My paranoia got the best of me
Acknowledging the influence of paranoia.
I knew it would, it always do
Anticipating the recurring nature of paranoia.
I made the call
Making a call, perhaps influenced by paranoia.
Pretend that I can hardly wait
Pretending eagerness to restore one's own smile.
To put that smile back on my face
Looking forward to personal happiness.
It's coming soon
Indicating the imminent arrival of happiness.
I'm going to the moon
Expressing a desire to reach an ecstatic state.
If you pretend, then I imitate
Encouraging pretense and imitation in a relationship.
My friend, come crucify my heart
Inviting a metaphorical crucifixion of the heart by a friend.
I want to get it on
Expressing a desire for intimacy.
I want to get it on
Reiterating the desire for intimacy.
And in the evening when I sleep
Highlighting changes in the narrator's situation during sleep.
My situation changes nightly
Emphasizing the nightly variability of the narrator's situation.
Sometimes it comes, sometimes it goes
Reflecting on the unpredictable nature of life's experiences.
Sometimes I feel I'll never know
Expressing uncertainty about understanding certain experiences.
Tonight's the night I take it home
Declaring the intention to bring something home tonight.
White knuckle happy and alone
Describing a state of intense anticipation and solitude.
With no one in the room but me
Emphasizing being alone in a heightened emotional state.
I see I finally see
Realizing or understanding something for the first time.
