Unraveling Desires: Railbird's Tale of Forbidden Longing
Lyrics
This was a long time coming
This situation or outcome has been anticipated for a long time.
And a short-lived moment
Although the event was brief, it left a lasting impact.
But I just can't shake it
There's a lingering feeling or emotion that is hard to get rid of.
Oh why do I always care
Expressing frustration about caring for things that are not worth the concern.
About the things I shouldn't
Reflecting on a tendency to care about things that should be ignored.
Well I just can't take it and
Feeling overwhelmed and unable to endure the situation.
Try hard as I may but I'm not the one with the problem this time
Recognizing that the issue lies with someone else this time, not the speaker.
Come on
Encouragement or a challenge to take action.
I'm not waiting any longer on you
Deciding not to wait any longer for someone.
I don't know much but I know
Admitting a lack of knowledge but asserting that the relationship isn't over.
I can't be done with you yet
Expressing an unwillingness to end the connection.
Times up
Time has run out; there's a sense of urgency.
I've done everything you asked me to do
Having fulfilled all requests but uncertain about the outcome.
I don't think much but I think
Acknowledging limited understanding but sensing a potential loss.
I might be losing this bet
Speculating about the possibility of losing a bet or wager.
Fuck I guess I knew better
Regretting a choice despite knowing better.
But it felt so good to be your scarlet letter and
Describing the satisfaction of being a significant part of someone's life.
Now that it's done and over
Acceptance that the relationship is over, and the other person may return to old habits.
I guess you'll go back to wishing you were sober
Anticipating a return to a state of longing for sobriety.
I want the sickness you have
Expressing a desire for the emotional detachment the other person possesses.
That keeps you from feeling too deeply
Wanting the emotional resilience that prevents deep feelings.
Come on
Reiteration of not waiting any longer for the person.
I'm not waiting any longer on you
Repeat of the decision not to wait.
I don't know much but I know
Reaffirmation of limited knowledge but a refusal to end the relationship.
I can't be done with you yet
Reiterating an unwillingness to conclude the connection.
Times up
Reiteration of time running out and a sense of urgency.
I've done everything you asked me to do
Reaffirmation of completing all requested actions but uncertainty remains.
I don't think much but I think
Restating limited understanding but sensing potential loss.
I might be losing this bet
Repeating speculation about the possibility of losing a bet.
Oh-oo-woah
Lyric without specific meaning, possibly used for emotional emphasis.
Oh-oo-woah, oh oh
Repetition of the ambiguous lyric for emotional emphasis.
Oh-oo-woah, oh oh
Continuation of the repeated, emotionally charged lyric.
Come on
Reiteration of not waiting any longer, emphasizing decisiveness.
I'm not waiting any longer on you
Repetition of the decision not to wait any longer.
I don't know much but I know
Reaffirmation of limited knowledge but refusal to end the relationship.
I can't be done with you yet
Reiterating an unwillingness to conclude the connection.
Times up
Reiteration of time running out and a sense of urgency.
I've done everything you asked me to do
Reaffirmation of completing all requested actions but uncertainty remains.
I don't think much but I think
Restating limited understanding but sensing potential loss.
I might be losing this bet
Repeating speculation about the possibility of losing a bet.
