No Cat No Cradle
Echoes of Love and Loss: No Cat No Cradle
Lyrics
You said
You communicated something
You said
You reiterated a statement
Why don't we shut up instead
Suggesting to stop talking and maintain silence
There's so much left inside my head
Expressing an abundance of thoughts within
My tear ducts they're not punching bags
Asserting that emotions shouldn't be a target for venting frustration
We speak
Engaging in conversation
We speak
Repeating the act of speaking
Don't cry an ocean, just a creek
Advising not to cry excessively, but only a little
I'm just trying to be realistic
Expressing a desire for realistic expectations
New love will set out to seek
Anticipating that a new love will embark on a journey
And I'd think
Reflecting on thoughts
Each week
Periodically, possibly weekly
You'd have an even cleaner cheek
Expecting a consistently clean cheek
As I caress your fleeting crease
Tenderly touching a momentary wrinkle
I won't force you to smile
Choosing not to compel a smile
And you pour like a dipper
Describing a fluid pouring motion
See you in the night sky
Observing a person in the night sky
Forming a figure
Taking shape or form
And I love to
Expressing affection for the observed person
Watch you die
Expressing enjoyment in witnessing an unconventional demise
We froze
Experiencing a sudden stop or pause
We stole what we found at the watering hole
Illegally acquiring something from a source
We should have left it all alone
Regretting the act of taking something that didn't belong
It wasn't ours to take home
Acknowledging the impropriety of taking it home
We screech
Producing a sharp, high-pitched sound
We scratch
Creating marks on a surface by scraping
Microscopic ticks burrow
Extremely small parasites digging into the body
Into our skins into our skull
Penetrating the body, especially the head
What's their evolutionary pull
Questioning the purpose of their evolution
What's yours
Possibly asking about personal motivations
What's mine
Questioning individual motivations
We paid our dues and got a fine
Having paid the necessary consequences and received a penalty
I'm eating this down to the rhine
Eating something completely, including the outer layer
We could retrace for miles
Considering retracing steps for a long distance
I see your hands on the table
Observing someone's hands on a flat surface
No cat no cradle
No cat, no cradle; Possibly indicating a lack of comfort or stability
And I love you and
Expressing love towards someone
I love to lie
Expressing a fondness for deceit or untruth
