Kidding Somewhat
Kidding Somewhat: Unveiling the Enigmatic Dance of Time
Lyrics
Time she's a movin'
Time is constantly progressing
She won't break her stride for me
Time does not pause or change its course for the speaker
A blind man in a dark room
Metaphor for feeling lost or directionless
Trying to feel what he can't see
Describes the challenge of understanding the unseen
All the ponies in my stables
Metaphorical representation of the speaker's relationships, emphasizing patience
Waiting so patiently
-The ponies in my stables
-Trained to wait and see
-As usual I'm kidding somewhat
Admits to a habitual tendency of not being entirely serious or truthful
As usual I'm kidding somewhat
-You're holding your head in your hands again
Describes someone in distress, possibly emotionally, with a focus on their distant focus
And you're staring straight through me
-Your gaze is fixed at something ahead
-At something no one else can see
-When the heat wave hits
Using a heat wave and winter as metaphors, expressing a desire to avoid difficult times and return later
You'll find me hiding under the water
-I'll be safely tucked away
-I'll be back when the winter's over
-Please don't shut the door on me
Plea to not be excluded, asserting the presence of the speaker
If you're lost believe me now you're found
-'Cause I'm seeing you right in front of me
-And baby I'll be around
-When the heat wave hits
Reiteration of the earlier desire to avoid difficulties and return when conditions are better
You'll find me hiding under the water
-I'll be safely tucked away
-I'll be back when the winter's over
-Please don't shut the door on me
Reassurance of the speaker's presence and request for acceptance
If you're lost believe me now you're found
-'Cause I'm seeing you in front of me
-And baby I'll be around
-Please don't shut the door on me
Repeated plea for inclusion and belief in the speaker's presence
If you're lost believe me now you're found
-'Cause I'm seeing you in front of me
-And baby I'll be around
-Please don't shut the door on me
Final assurance of the speaker's enduring presence
If you're lost believe me now you're found
-'Cause I'm seeing you in front of me
-And baby I'll be around
