Tongue Ring
Struggles of Self-Restraint and Yearning for Change
Lyrics
I tried to hold my tongue
I attempted to remain silent
I tried to stop myself
I attempted to restrain myself
Try so hard to escape
Struggling intensely to break free
Can't seem to get Away
Unable to distance myself
Call it beginners luck
Describing fortunate outcomes for beginners
I wish I could speak up
Expressing a desire to express thoughts
I am a sitting duck
Feeling vulnerable and exposed
I wish we were in love
Expressing a wish for a romantic relationship
Don't change
Encouraging someone not to change
You can't let me down
Assuring that disappointment is not possible
I won't see you around
Anticipating not encountering the person again
Let me see your frown
Requesting to see a sad expression
You can't let me down
Reiterating that disappointment is impossible
You won't let me down
Confident that the person won't let down
I won't see you round
Expecting not to see the person again
I was waiting for it
Waiting for a specific event to happen
Just to take a tour
Expressing anticipation of exploring
Just a little more
Desiring a little more of something
I would lock the door
Expressing an intention to close off from others
Stretch out on the floor
Planning to lie down on the floor
Won't be any more
No more of a particular situation
There's a glass half empty
Describing a pessimistic view
There's a glass half full
Presenting both a negative and positive perspective
I can't break the cycle
Expressing difficulty in breaking a repetitive cycle
Drives me out my skull
Feeling extremely frustrated
Gotta break my habit
Acknowledging the need to change a behavior
Need to change so bad it's hard to make mistakes
Expressing the difficulty in making positive changes
And then to make it better
Aiming for improvement and a better outcome
