Embracing Love Amidst Life's Loneliness: A Musical Odyssey by Toodles & The Hectic Pity
Lyrics
As soon as you were born here, before the sense of your feeling is lost
Reflecting on the early stages of life, emphasizing the importance of preserving one's true emotions before they are overshadowed.
All the things that you kept to yourself that were far too good to tell
Acknowledging private thoughts and experiences that are too precious to share openly with others.
And I say that I will love you, I will love you for the rest of your life
Expressing a commitment to love someone for the entirety of their life.
And everytime you start to fall asleep I see trees and planets collide
Observing vivid and possibly surreal visions as one begins to drift into sleep.
And you wake up and make coffee for me
Receiving care and attention in the form of coffee after waking up.
So long waiting for you, I’ve been waiting for so long for you to get home, I’ve been waiting for so long for you to come back home
Longing for the return of a significant other, waiting patiently for their arrival.
There’s a place called suffering in the middle of the day that you just call to nine to five
Describing a period of hardship or challenge during the day, likening it to a nine-to-five routine.
Every time you spend your whole night there you might as well call it your life
Suggesting that spending a significant amount of time in a difficult situation becomes synonymous with living that challenging life.
Then you wake up and make coffee for me
Receiving care and attention, accompanied by the alleviation of loneliness.
This lonely feeling starts to leave
Noting the positive effect of waking up and the start of a new day on one's emotional state.
Bash my head against the wall until I feel happy
Metaphorically expressing a struggle for happiness by mentioning self-inflicted physical pain.
Wake up and pull your trousers on
Engaging in the routine of getting dressed and ready for the day.
And I haven’t felt this good in far too long
Expressing a heightened sense of well-being, possibly contrasting with previous emotional states.
‘Cause it’s been far too long
Reiterating that a significant amount of time has passed since feeling a particular way.
There’s a place where we start to talk to each other and you feel that I’m alive
Describing a point in a relationship where communication becomes more meaningful and mutually enriching.
Everytime we start to talk to each other, I wonder if I’m gonna survive
Expressing uncertainty and apprehension about the survival of the speaker when engaging in meaningful conversation.
I’ve been waiting for so long for you to call me, I wonder if I might die alone
Longing for a call from someone, accompanied by a fear of facing loneliness and the possibility of dying alone.
And everytime we start to talk to each other, I wonder if I’m better on my own
Expressing doubt about the benefits of interpersonal communication, pondering whether solitude might be preferable.
