All the Drugs in the World
Eternal Dilemma: Love, Shadows, and a Cascade of What-Ifs
Lyrics
I tried to call you from the end of the world
Expressing an attempt to communicate from a distant and challenging place.
Cause I worry
Conveying concern or anxiety.
I tried to call you from the end of the world
Reiteration of trying to reach out from a difficult location.
I'm afraid you have a past without me
Expressing fear that the person has a history or experiences that don't involve the speaker.
I'm not sure what kind of shadows it might throw
Uncertainty about the potential impact of past experiences on the relationship.
And I know you live in a house of mirrors
Acknowledging the other person's complex and possibly distorted perception of reality.
So look at us now, look at the distance I will go
Reflecting on the distance that has developed between them.
What if gave you all the drugs in the world?
Pondering the idea of providing everything, perhaps symbolic, to maintain the relationship.
What if I stopped all the clocks in the world?
Considering stopping time as a drastic measure to preserve the current state.
What if I bought you all the locks in the world?
Suggesting a desire to protect or control access to something significant.
Would you stay far away from them
Questioning whether such measures would keep the person away.
I tried to call you from another hotel
Attempting communication from a different location, specifically a hotel.
In the lobby
Highlighting the setting of the lobby as a context for communication.
I tried to tell you it's not working that well
Admitting that the current approach is not effective.
You know, God and me
Mentioning a connection or struggle involving God.
It's just that eerie silence
Describing an unsettling silence in the relationship.
The racing thought of everything that I love fading out of the world
Reflecting on the anxiety of losing everything loved.
I'm waiting for a miracle, a wonder
Expressing a hope or desire for a miraculous event.
I'm dreaming of a slow dance at the end
Imagining a slow dance as a symbol of an ideal conclusion.
What if gave you all the drugs in the world?
Reiterating the idea of providing everything, perhaps as a plea.
What if I stopped all the clocks in the world?
Revisiting the notion of stopping time to maintain the status quo.
What if I bought you all the locks in the world?
Repeating the desire to control access through symbolic means.
Would you stay far away from them?
Posing the question of whether such measures would ensure distance.
Would you stay?
Pose of the question of whether the person would stay despite the proposed measures.
