Revolution
Yearning for Change: A Tale of Revolution and Redemption
Lyrics
Lost my valentine
Expressing the loss of a significant other or a loved one.
You could never keep my meaning straight
Indicating frustration with the partner's inability to understand the speaker's intentions clearly.
And I won't wait in line
Refusing to wait for attention or acknowledgment.
For you to give me any time of day
Rejecting the idea of waiting for the partner to show interest.
I want a revolution
Expressing a desire for a significant change or upheaval.
You want a short solution
Highlighting the partner's preference for a quick and easy solution.
We never could see eye to eye
Describing a history of disagreement and lack of mutual understanding.
You wanted retribution
Noting the partner's desire for revenge or payback.
I came to the same conclusion
Acknowledging the speaker's agreement with the partner's conclusion.
It's a story as old as time
Referring to the common theme of relationship challenges throughout history.
I heard you cryin' in the other room
Sensing emotional distress from the partner in a separate space.
Tried to test the eyes
Attempting to test the partner's commitment or vision.
But I could hear a cracking underneath
Noticing a fundamental issue or weakness in the relationship.
There's no compromise
Stating that there can be no middle ground if both parties desire freedom.
If both of us are aching to be free
Acknowledging the shared pain or longing for liberation.
I want a revolution
Reiterating the desire for a significant change or transformation.
You want a short solution
Pointing out the partner's preference for a quick and easy solution.
We never could see eye to eye
Reiterating the history of mutual incomprehension.
You wanted retribution
Confirming the partner's desire for revenge or payback.
I came to the same conclusion
Agreeing with the partner's conclusion.
It's a story as old as time
Referencing the timeless nature of relationship struggles.
I heard you cryin' in the other room
Revisiting the awareness of the partner's emotional distress.
It took a lifetime
Highlighting the prolonged time it took to realize the relationship's irreversible decline.
For us to see that it's to late
Describing a sense of irreversible brokenness.
We're a broken stake
Using "broken stake" as a metaphor for a relationship that cannot support itself.
And after all of this
Emphasizing the persistent ignorance of warning signs.
We keep ignoring the signs
Continuing to overlook or disregard evident problems in the relationship.
The waters run dry
Describing a depletion or lack of emotional resources.
I want a revolution
Reiterating the desire for a significant transformation.
You want a short solution
Pointing out the partner's preference for a quick and easy solution.
We never could see eye to eye
Recalling the history of mutual incomprehension.
You wanted retribution
Confirming the partner's desire for revenge or payback.
I came to the same conclusion
Agreeing with the partner's conclusion.
It's a story as old as time
Reaffirming the timeless nature of relationship struggles.
I heard you cryin' in the other room
Revisiting the awareness of the partner's emotional distress.
I want a revolution
Expressing a renewed and intensified desire for a significant change or upheaval.
I want a revolution
Emphasizing the persistence of the desire for a significant transformation.
