Unveiling Hearts: Decoding The Diner Mints' Andrew's Heart
Lyrics
Stop throwing stones at my window
Request to stop throwing stones at the window
You're gonna break the glass and I'll have to pay for it
Concern about breaking the glass and potential cost
If you want my attention
Desire for attention
Than be nice to me don't make me bleed from all the glass stuck in my arm
Emphasis on being treated kindly to avoid harm
Make up your mind what do you really think about me
Encouragement to make a clear judgment about the speaker
It doesn't make any sense, but when I close my eyes it feels so much better
Contradiction between unclear feelings and a comforting closing of eyes
Until I hear your footsteps coming towards me
Anticipation and anxiety about approaching footsteps
In the morning I can't get out of bed
Difficulty getting out of bed in the morning, possibly due to emotional struggles
The way I don't understand you
Expressing confusion about the other person
Makes me feel that you don't understand even yourself
Suggesting a lack of self-understanding in the other person
That's fine with me, nobody's perfect
Acceptance of imperfection in others
But you could do much much better than you're doing right now
Encouragement for the other person to improve
Make up your mind what do you really think about me
Reiteration of the need for a clear opinion about the speaker
It doesn't make any sense, but when I close my eyes it feels so much better
Continued paradox between confusion and comfort with closed eyes
Until I hear your footsteps coming towards me
Anxiety about approaching footsteps persists
In the morning I can't get out of bed
Morning struggle to get out of bed continues
I'm telling you I don't know what you think this will do for me
Expressing uncertainty about the impact of the other person's actions
Your smile in my ear
Noting a smile but questioning its significance
But I'll say it again and again so you better listen up to me
Insistence on repeating a message for the other person to pay attention
Listen up to me
Emphasis on the importance of listening
Make up your mind what do you really think about me
Repetition of the call for a clear opinion about the speaker
It doesn't make any sense, but when I close my eyes it feels so much better
Continued contrast between confusion and comfort with closed eyes
Until I hear your footsteps coming towards me
Apprehension about the approaching footsteps persists
In the morning I can't get out of bed
Morning difficulty getting out of bed persists
