Infinite Tenderness
Eternal Yearning: The Buttertones' Infinite Tenderness Revealed
Lyrics
Goodbye my dear we're torn
Expressing farewell to a beloved person, acknowledging a separation or division.
From vice and scorn
Acknowledging a departure from negative influences and disdain.
We rode
Describing a shared journey or experience.
Over moons and floated downstream on stars
Metaphorically describing a journey using celestial imagery, suggesting a dreamlike or fantastical experience.
With covert hearts
Sharing intimate emotions cautiously or discreetly.
Not in the cards for us
Acknowledging that a romantic connection might not be destined or feasible.
I'll always have an infinite tenderness for you
Expressing a lasting and immeasurable affection for the person despite the challenges.
Recall the shivers we shared when you're lonely next
Recalling shared moments of excitement or emotional intensity.
Now don't cry
Encouraging the person not to shed tears, indicating reassurance or comfort.
I'll hold you till
Committing to providing support until the person falls asleep.
You sleep
Describing the act of sleeping, suggesting a temporary escape from reality.
Then I'm gone
Indicating a departure or separation after the comforting moment.
Back to the wild
Returning to a wild or untamed state, possibly representing a personal or emotional wilderness.
I guess it's where I'm bound for now
Expressing a sense of direction or destiny towards the wild.
But
Introducing a contrast or contradiction to the previous lines.
I'll always have an infinite tenderness
Reiterating an enduring and boundless affection for the person.
For you
Repeating the sentiment of infinite tenderness, underscoring its significance.
Maybe one day
Expressing a possibility or hope for a future reunion or shared aspirations.
We can dream again
Anticipating a renewed ability to dream together.
Meet again floating downstream
Imagining a future meeting while engaging in a shared imaginative experience.
Infinite tenderness
Reiterating the theme of infinite tenderness as a constant, regardless of circumstances.
Let me go
Explicitly requesting freedom or release, possibly emphasizing the inevitability of separation.
