North Dakota
Wistful Echoes: North Dakota's Bittersweet Distance
Lyrics
The state of North Dakota has to fill its quota
The state of North Dakota is obligated to meet its quota.
And separate the girls from the boys
There is a need to separate individuals based on gender.
Keep the trouble out of Illinois
Ensure that problems are kept away from Illinois.
The state of these affairs always comes in pairs
Challenges or issues always come in pairs.
In the months of their demise we were writing our reprise
During the decline of these issues, the speaker and others were composing their response or reflection.
If it makes you said
If the situation makes you sad.
It makes me sadder
The speaker feels even sadder than the listener.
If you ever miss me
If the listener misses the speaker.
I will always miss you more
The speaker will always miss the listener more.
In North Dakota we can only waste our time
In North Dakota, there's a sense of wasting time or being unproductive.
I marked it on the atlas and taped it to my mattress
The speaker marked a location on the map and attached it to their bed.
He hates me and I hate him too because he keeps me from seeing you
There's animosity between the speaker and someone preventing them from seeing the listener.
She's the only player with the icy stare
The female mentioned is the only one with a cold, distant gaze.
A look like that only makes me look older
A gaze like that makes the speaker feel older.
You put your head on the coldest shoulder
A metaphorical description of seeking comfort from someone emotionally distant.
If it makes you said
If the situation makes you sad.
It makes me sadder
The speaker feels even sadder than the listener.
If you ever miss me
If the listener misses the speaker.
I will always miss you more
The speaker will always miss the listener more.
In North Dakota we can only waste our time
In North Dakota, there's a sense of wasting time or being unproductive.
