Begging
Yearning Shadows: The Soul's Dance in Begging by The Libertines
Lyrics
All animals we are
All of us are like animals, perhaps suggesting primal instincts or behaviors.
Round the bench in the park
Gathering around a bench in the park, a communal space.
Your sisters in the dark today
Your friends or companions are in a difficult or hidden situation today.
Watery pinned eyes
Eyes that are damp or moist, possibly indicating emotion or intoxication.
My soul has gone a little cold
My inner self or essence has become somewhat cold or detached.
Well, maybe maybe next year
Expressing a hope or desire for something in the future, albeit uncertain.
If it isn't to dear
Referring to the cost of something desired.
We'll get ourself some good time girls
Planning to engage with or meet enjoyable companions.
Remember when you pay
When you engage in something, there are consequences to face.
You'll pay in many many ways
Implying that the consequences will be numerous and varied.
Now he's crossing the road
A person is seen crossing the road.
Picking up his daily sport
Engaging in a habitual or regular activity.
Oh now they're begging you
People are pleading or imploring you for something.
They're begging you
Repetition, emphasizing the pleading or begging.
What will you do?
Questioning what action will be taken in response to the begging.
Oh my they're begging you
Highlighting the intensity of the begging or pleading.
Your friend begging you
Your friend is desperately asking for something from you.
What can you do?
Questioning what options or actions are available to help.
Have you heard the singer said
Asking if you've heard a statement from a singer.
He's a dead ringer for
Comparing someone to a perfect resemblance of something familiar.
A feeling that I used to know
A memory or sensation that used to be familiar but perhaps is no longer.
Hell she cries oh hell
Expressing distress or anguish.
No no it's a funny way to go
Denying something as an unusual or unexpected way to end.
Now he's crossing the road
Reiteration of someone crossing the road.
Picking up his daily sport
Continuing in a regular or habitual activity.
Oh now they're begging you
Repetition, emphasizing the act of begging.
They're begging you
Reiteration of the pleading action.
What will you do?
Asking what decision or action will be made in response.
Oh lord they're begging you
Expressing a sense of desperation or urgency in the begging.
Your friend begging you
Your friend is desperately imploring you for something.
What can you do?
Questioning the available courses of action in response.
