Don't Get It Twisted
Echoes of Love's Act: November Chills and Concrete Confessions
Lyrics
Waiting for tomorrow, could it get any better
Anticipation for the future, questioning if it could improve
But we are standing still
A sense of stagnation or lack of progress
The coldest November night, the warmth of your smile
Describing a cold November night, finding warmth in a smile
Is keeping me alive
The emotional impact of the person's smile is life-sustaining
I felt the chills roll down your spine
Feeling a shiver down the spine, possibly due to emotional intensity
You were waiting for a reason to say goodbye
Suspecting the other person is looking for a reason to end the relationship
Well here I am and you're still speechless
Expressing surprise that, despite the revelation, the other person is silent
You can call me anytime when you're ready
Offering availability for communication when the other person is ready
To face up with your face down
Challenging the other person to confront difficulties
Against the blood-stained concrete
Imagery of a challenging confrontation against a harsh background
It will be harder for you to look me in the eye
Suggesting that the confrontation will make eye contact difficult
This wasn't an accident
Asserting that the situation wasn't accidental but intentional
This was an act of love
Characterizing the intentional act as an expression of love
This wasn't an accident
Reiterating that the incident wasn't accidental but a deliberate act
This was an act of love
Emphasizing that the intentional act was motivated by love
So moving to the next page in my diary
Moving on to the next phase in the narrator's life
To this day I can't stop laughing
Reflecting on past events and finding amusement despite challenges
When I read about us and how pathetic I was
Laughing at oneself for allowing mistreatment in the past
To let you walk all over me
Regretting being mistreated in the past
I felt the chills roll down your spine
Repeating the sensation of a shiver down the spine
You were waiting for a reason to say goodbye
Reiterating the suspicion that the other person is contemplating goodbye
Well here I am and you're still speechless
Expressing surprise at the continued silence of the other person
You can call me anytime when you're ready
Offering availability for communication when the other person is ready
To face up with your face down
Challenging the other person to confront difficulties
Against the blood-stained concrete
Repeating imagery of a challenging confrontation against a harsh background
It will be harder for you to look me in the eye
Reiterating that the confrontation will make eye contact difficult
This wasn't an accident
Asserting that the situation wasn't accidental but intentional
This was an act of love
Characterizing the intentional act as an expression of love
This wasn't an accident
Reiterating that the incident wasn't accidental but a deliberate act
This was an act of love
Emphasizing that the intentional act was motivated by love
I feel the threads against my skin
Sensory imagery of feeling threads against the skin
As it closes in
Suggesting a sense of closure or confinement
The asphalt sea
Describing an overwhelming and challenging environment
Reaches for me
Imagery of an inescapable situation reaching out
I drown my eyes
Expressing emotional overwhelm and vulnerability
Drain my disguise
Referencing shedding one's disguise or facade
This is your change
Asserting a transformative moment or opportunity
I scream your name with one last breath
Expressing a final plea or acknowledgment before a significant change
