Lyrics
Don't, linger too long
Advises against lingering for an extended period
On sad old songs
Discourages dwelling on melancholic tunes
Don't muse, don't détour
Encourages avoiding deep contemplation or diversion
Your chagrin d'amour
Refers to the pain of love (chagrin d'amour)
Don't dwell
Emphasizes not staying fixated or absorbed
Endlessly through seasons in hell
Warns against enduring difficult times indefinitely
There's nothing there at all
Describes emptiness, devoid of substance or meaning
But static - a-pathetic
Portrays a sense of lifelessness, lacking empathy
Cold mechanics
References a cold, emotionless mechanism
Pressing on you
Expresses the weight of life's pressures on an individual
There's nothing there at all
Reiterates the absence of meaningful elements
But winds and shadows
Depicts desolation, with only winds and shadows present
Poisonous meadows
Describes toxic environments, symbolized by poisonous meadows
Dragging at you
Conveys the dragging or burdening impact of surroundings
Don't, linger too long
Repeats advice against prolonged focus on sad songs
On sad old songs
Reiterates the discouragement of dwelling on sorrowful tunes
Don't muse, don't détour
Restates the suggestion to avoid deep thought or deviation
Your chagrin d'amour
Reiterates the reference to the pain of love
Don't dwell
Echoes the warning against continuous fixation
Endlessly through seasons in hell
Repeats the caution against enduring challenging times endlessly
Seasons in hell
Summarizes the theme of enduring difficult phases
