What's Your Name
Unveiling the Enigma: Trace Anderson's Melodic Query
Lyrics
I know you've heard all this before
I acknowledge that you've heard similar things before
I may not know where I'm coming from
I might be uncertain about my origins
But every time I look it's like all my friends are outside
Observing, it seems my friends are outside while I'm not with them
And I'm not, I'm not with them
While you're indoors, you're not here with me
And your inside, but you're not here with me
Despite being in close physical proximity, there is emotional distance
So you forget the price you paid
You tend to forget the sacrifices you've made for someone else's fault
All for somebody else's blame
Expressing a desire to meet privately and discuss
I want to meet you in the shade
Expressing a desire to meet you discreetly in a secluded place
And ask you
Prompting a question to identify you personally
What's your name
Asking for your name
I know I've called you once or twice
Acknowledging previous attempts to contact you
I know you put it back in a file
Acknowledging that you filed away the communication
But every time I look it's like rain coming down
Metaphorically describing the feeling of rain on a summer night when you look
On a summer night
Describing a moment before something significant happens
And before it hits the ground it hits the light
Before something significant occurs, it becomes visible
Where I once stood somewhere
Reflecting on a past place where I used to be
So you forget the price you paid
You tend to forget the sacrifices you've made for someone else's fault (repeated)
All for somebody else's blame
Expressing a desire to meet privately and discuss (repeated)
I want to meet you in the shade
Expressing a desire to meet you discreetly in a secluded place (repeated)
And ask you
Prompting a question to identify you personally (repeated)
What's your name
Asking for your name (repeated)
What's your name
-So you forget the price you paid
You tend to forget the sacrifices you've made for someone else's fault (repeated)
All for somebody else's blame
Expressing a desire to meet privately and discuss (repeated)
I want to meet you in the shade
Expressing a desire to meet you discreetly in a secluded place (repeated)
And ask you
Prompting a question to identify you personally (repeated)
What's your name
Asking for your name (repeated)
What's your name
-What's your name
