Echoes of a Tired Love: Tindersticks' Raindrops Unveiled
Lyrics
Silence is here again tonight
Silence is present once more in the evening.
The silence is here again tonight
The quietness persists again tonight.
Will the love ever come back?
Is there a possibility for love to return?
Will the love ever come back?
Is there a chance for love to rekindle?
I know I've been pushing you away
I acknowledge that I've been pushing you away.
I know it's been going on for days
I'm aware that this distancing has been ongoing for days.
Those awkward little things
Referring to peculiar but charming aspects of the relationship.
So endearing
These idiosyncratic traits are endearing.
Those awkward little things
Reiteration of the charm in those peculiar aspects.
Wear on me
However, these peculiarities are becoming burdensome on me.
See, what we got here is a tired love
Describing the current state of the relationship as weary or exhausted.
What we got here is a lazy love
Characterizing the relationship as lethargic or indifferent.
It mooches around the house
Depicting a love that moves sluggishly around the house.
Can't wait to go out
Expressing eagerness to escape the confines of the relationship.
What it needs it just grabs
Describing a love that takes without asking, possibly selfish.
It never asks
Highlighting the one-sided nature of the relationship.
We sit and watch the divide widen
Observing the increasing distance or disconnect between partners.
We sit and listen to our hearts crumble
Noting the emotional pain as their hearts seem to crumble.
With our only chance to jump
Reflecting on a missed opportunity to address the issues.
Neither of us had the guts
Both partners hesitated or lacked the courage to take action.
Or maybe we're just too proud
Considering the possibility of pride hindering communication.
To say it out loud
Suggesting an unspoken acknowledgment of the issues.
Silence is here again tonight
The silence remains present again tonight.
Silence is here again tonight
Reiteration of the continued presence of silence in the evening.
