Stranded
Stranded Serenade: Echoes of Lost Love and Broken Plans
Lyrics
Throw another dime in me my friend
Desiring attention or support, asking for more investment (time, emotion, or effort)
And I'll sing a song I know for thee
Promising to perform or deliver something known or familiar in return for the investment
If you don't want me you can tell me
Open to rejection or acceptance, willing to be informed about feelings or decisions
I'm the bigger man here oh it's true
Asserting maturity or superiority despite circumstances, possibly feeling overlooked or underestimated
You're all pretty now than the last time
Acknowledging a change in appearance or demeanor but sensing a lack of genuine communication
But the words aren't coming through
Frustration at a lack of meaningful or honest expression despite physical changes
And I'm stranded
Feeling abandoned or isolated in a challenging situation
And I'm starry-eyed
Experiencing a sense of wonder or admiration despite being in a difficult position
Oh why, oh she wash out of me
Questioning the departure or removal of someone important
There's broken glass all around my feet
Surrounded by danger or emotional turmoil, feeling vulnerable
Laid my plan so carelessly
Having made plans thoughtlessly or recklessly, leading to current difficulties
What's the story
Curiosity about the situation or circumstances
With my old friends
Reflecting on the state of past relationships or connections
Drunk and lonely
Emotionally affected by intoxication and solitude
To the man
Unclear reference to an individual, potentially oneself or someone else
How I love 'em all
Expressing affection or fondness for everyone despite the passage of time
As the days slip by
Sense of time slipping away or passing unnoticed
And they're all following my lead
Belief that others are imitating or following one's actions or decisions
Oh why does the rain fall cold
Questioning why difficult circumstances arise during moments of vulnerability
When I'm stranded and I'm starry-eyed?
Reiterating feelings of being abandoned or isolated despite admiration or wonder
