Lyrics
You said you would call, and now your own TV looking like yourself
You promised to call, but now your own TV reflects your troubled state
And everyday’s another nightmare, waiting on the shelf
Every day feels like a distressing experience, waiting for something negative to happen
Well I’ve been alone for 20 years now, I just want your help
Being alone for two decades, seeking assistance and companionship
And everyday’s another nightmare, waiting on the shelf
Similar to line 2, expressing the recurring nature of distressing experiences
And you look so cold
Observing the emotional coldness in someone's demeanor
I can feel it deep in your soul
Sensing a profound sense of emotional emptiness within the person
When you waste away
Describing the deterioration of the person as they waste away
Well I don’t care for what they call you, I just need your help
Indifference to societal judgments or labels, emphasizing the need for assistance
And all my days, and all my memories, fade until you melt
All experiences and memories lose significance until the person is present
Well Ive been alone, for all my life now, I just need your help
Expressing a lifelong loneliness and the urgent need for support
And all my days, and all my memories, fade until you melt
Similar to line 11, underscoring the transformative power of the person's presence
And you look so cold,
Reiteration of the emotional coldness observed in the person
I can feel it deep in your soul
Reiterating the deep-seated emotional emptiness perceived in the person
When you waste away
Highlighting the ongoing deterioration of the person as they waste away
You said you would call, and now your own TV looking like yourself
Recalling the unfulfilled promise of a phone call and emphasizing the person's troubled state
And everyday’s another nightmare, waiting on the shelf
Repetition of the theme of daily distress, waiting for negative events
Well I’ve been alone for 20 years now, I just want your help
Reiterating long-term loneliness and the plea for assistance
And everyday’s another nightmare, waiting on the shelf oooohhhh
Similar to line 20, emphasizing the repetitive nature of distressing experiences
And you look so cold
Re-emphasizing the observed emotional coldness in the person
I can feel it deep In your soul
Reiterating the profound emotional emptiness perceived in the person
When you waste away
Highlighting the ongoing deterioration of the person as they waste away
