Mainline of Love's Desperation: Behind the Curtain of Longing
Lyrics
Take a walk with me behind the curtain
Inviting someone to join in a more private or intimate experience.
I know your friends are watching me
Awareness of being observed or judged by others, possibly friends of the person being addressed.
Can I plant my flag high up on your hilltop
Expressing a desire to establish a lasting presence or commitment.
So everyone can know I'm here to stay
Wishing for public recognition and acknowledgment of the commitment.
There never seems to be enough
Feeling a lack or insufficiency in one's life or relationship.
To fill my cup my darling
Desiring more fulfillment or satisfaction in the relationship.
Can I mainline you again?
Asking for a deeper and more direct connection or commitment ("mainline").
Tumbled down and spent
Feeling defeated or exhausted, possibly in the context of the relationship.
Entangled
Being entangled or caught up in challenges or difficulties.
The worms are looking for the dead
Imagery suggesting a darker or challenging situation ("worms looking for the dead").
Can I crawl inside your every tiny alcove?
Expressing a desire for deep intimacy and exploration of the other person's inner world.
You can knock me down and take my dying breath
Willingness to endure hardships for the relationship, even to the point of sacrifice.
There never seems to be enough
Reiterating a sense of lack or insufficiency in the relationship.
To fill my cup my darling
Continuing the desire for more fulfillment or satisfaction in the relationship.
Can I mainline you again?
Repeating the request for a deeper and more direct connection ("mainline").
So glad I found you
Expressing joy and gratitude for finding the person addressed.
I'll never be the bird around your neck
Rejecting a submissive or dependent role ("bird around your neck").
Around your neck
Reiterating a desire for independence and not being a burden.
There never seems to be enough
Repeating a sense of lack or insufficiency in the relationship.
To fill my cup my darling
Continuing the desire for more fulfillment or satisfaction in the relationship.
Can I mainline you again?
Repeating the request for a deeper and more direct connection ("mainline").
