Baby Boo
Yearning Echoes: The Firnats' Melancholic Reflections
Lyrics
Tell me what to say
Torn between expressing feelings and feeling inadequate in doing so.
Nothing happens anyway
Expressing a sense of futility or lack of change despite efforts.
And I'll be bored forever
An enduring feeling of monotony or lack of excitement.
I'll be bored
Reiteration of the prevailing boredom.
Teach me how to think
Seeking guidance in critical thinking or decision-making.
My hands don't move like they used to
Loss of dexterity or ability, possibly indicating a decline in capability.
And yours don't groove like I showed you
Noticing a lack of synchronization or alignment in actions or understanding.
Darling why don't they
Questioning the reason for the observed changes.
Drink don't seem to help
Dependency on substances for coping with difficulties.
As long as it dulls the senses
Accepting the use of substances as long as they provide a numbing effect.
As long as it keeps up my defenses
Using substances as a means of self-protection.
And baby why wouldn't it
Questioning the rationale for not resorting to substances.
Hold me close
Seeking emotional closeness or intimacy.
Don't you slip away
Fear of losing someone dear.
Lift me up
Desiring emotional elevation or support.
Let the rain wash my face
Metaphorically wanting to cleanse emotional pain.
And I feel so nervous around you
Feeling anxious or uncomfortable in someone's presence.
Couldn't imagine a life without you
Expressing inability to envision life without the person.
And if I had your lipstick stained on my cheek
Describing a hypothetical scenario of closeness.
Well I'd let it stay there, honey, week after week
Willingness to hold on to reminders of a loved one.
But darling you hurt me so bad
Expressing emotional pain caused by the person.
And then you beg me to stay
Requesting to stay despite experiencing hurt.
Well I'm tired of feeling like I'm not enough
Feeling inadequate or not meeting expectations.
And I'd lay down my cards just to see through your bluff
Willingness to risk everything for the truth.
All these desperate convictions that you could be king
Believing in unrealistic hopes or promises.
Throw my hat in the fire I'll die in your ring
Ready to endure challenges or pain for the relationship.
Away, away, away, away I go
Expressing a desire to distance oneself emotionally.
She says, she says, she says, she loves me so
Quoting someone else's affirmation of love.
Well I didn't know that about you
Expressing surprise at newfound information.
So why don't you come through
Inviting the person to take action.
Away, away, away, away I go
Reiterating the desire to emotionally detach.
She says, she says, she says, she loves me so
Repeating another's claim of affection.
Well I ain't hear that from you
Expressing doubt regarding the authenticity of affection.
So why don't you come through
Encouraging the person to demonstrate their love.
One last time
Desiring one final interaction or chance.
