Echoes of Unrequited Longing: Tipling Rock's 'handmedown' Tale
Lyrics
Be honest with me now
Request for honesty in communication.
You make me feel like I'm a hand-me-down
Feeling undervalued or not as important as others.
You pick me up and then you turn me down
Experiencing emotional highs and lows in the relationship.
Just wish you'd hit my line
Desire for more communication or attention.
I only think about you all the time
Constantly thinking about the person.
Why I gotta get in line
Questioning why one has to wait or compete for attention.
Is it just because I say I want it all
Wondering if the relationship is affected by the desire for success or material things.
Is it just me 'cause, no that's not me at all
Self-reflection on personal identity and values.
I know I say stuff that I don't mean at all
Acknowledgment of saying things without sincere intentions.
I've been thinking 'bout it and it just don't make no sense at all
Reflection on the irrationality of certain thoughts or actions.
Be honest with me now
Reiteration of the request for honesty.
You make me feel like I'm a hand-me-down
Continuation of feeling undervalued or not fully appreciated.
You pick me up and then you turn me down
Emotional ups and downs in the relationship persist.
Just wish you'd hit my line
Expressing the desire for more communication or connection.
I only think about you all the time
Intense focus on thoughts about the person.
Why I gotta get in line
Questioning the need to wait or compete for attention, again.
Girl you're feeling lonely
Recognition of the partner's loneliness.
Don't you know that that's how I've been feeling mostly?
Sharing a common feeling of being lost or disconnected.
Yeah I'm lost but you can show me now
Invitation for the partner to guide and support emotionally.
It's not just because, it's not how I wanted
Clarification that the situation is not as desired.
And nothing can change that now
Acceptance that circumstances cannot be changed.
Be honest with me now
Reiteration of the request for honesty.
You make me feel like I'm a hand-me-down
Continued feelings of being undervalued.
Why your mom want me to turn it down
Curiosity about external opinions affecting the relationship.
Just wish you'd hit my line
Desire for increased communication or connection.
I only think about you all the time
Continued intense focus on thoughts about the person.
Why I gotta get in line
Questioning the need to wait or compete for attention, again.
With me now
Reiteration of the request for honesty.
Hand-me-down
Feeling like a "hand-me-down" reiterated.
Turn it down
Curiosity about external opinions affecting the relationship, repeated.
