How's It Wrong
Yearning Echoes: Toro y Moi's Unrequited Melody
Lyrics
How's it going?
Expressing a casual greeting, asking about the current state of things
Where I want it
Desire for a specific outcome or situation
She's someone I can't have
Referring to a person who is unattainable or beyond reach
I'm pleased to get you now
Expressing satisfaction in acquiring or connecting with someone
I'm only built to show
Indicating a purpose or function to display or reveal
Even though I was the cause
Acknowledging responsibility for a situation or problem
Even though I need you bad
Expressing a strong need or desire for someone
Even though that time is lost
Acknowledging the irretrievable nature of past time
I know we can't be made up
Recognizing that certain things cannot be repaired or restored
You relied on a situation
Dependence on a specific circumstance or condition
Your voice coming through the light
Communication through a medium or channel, possibly technology
You're not exactly by my side
Physical separation or emotional distance from someone important
It's all a plan, and I know it can sound made up
Acknowledging a plan or strategy, possibly one that may seem fabricated
Tell me where we are, I don't want to beat myself up
Request for information about the current situation, expressing a desire not to feel guilty
My favor, two over, don't see my days tonight
Reference to a personal favor or preference, possibly related to relationships
Plus you didn't even let me know
Disappointment for not being informed or included
I'm not going till we got two shows
Commitment to stay until certain conditions, possibly performances, are met
How's it going?
Repetition of the initial greeting or inquiry
Where I want it
Reiteration of the desire for a specific outcome or situation
She's someone I can't have
Reiteration of longing for someone who is unattainable
I'm pleased to get you now
Reiteration of satisfaction in acquiring or connecting with someone
I'm only built to show
Reiteration of the purpose or function to display or reveal
Even though I was the cause
Reaffirmation of responsibility for a situation or problem
Even though I made you cry
Admission of causing emotional distress to someone
Even though that time is lost
Acknowledging the irretrievable nature of past time, possibly linked to regrets
I know we can't be made up
Recognition that certain things cannot be repaired or restored
My favor, two over, don't see my days tonight
Reiteration of a personal favor or preference, possibly related to relationships
Plus you didn't even let me know
Disappointment for not being informed or included, again
I'm not going till we got three shows
Commitment to stay until additional conditions, possibly performances, are met
How's it going?
Repetition of the initial greeting or inquiry, again
Where I want it
Reiteration of the desire for a specific outcome or situation, again
She's someone I can't have
Reiteration of longing for someone who is unattainable, again
I'm pleased to get you now
Reiteration of satisfaction in acquiring or connecting with someone, again
I'm only built to show
Reiteration of the purpose or function to display or reveal, again
Even though I was the cause
Reaffirmation of responsibility for a situation or problem, again
Even though I need you bad
Reiteration of a strong need or desire for someone, again
Even though that time is lost
Acknowledging the irretrievable nature of past time, again
I know we can't be made up
Recognition that certain things cannot be repaired or restored, again
