Needle in the Hay
Unraveling Relationships: Searching for Clarity
Lyrics
Your hand on his arm
Physical contact between the person and another individual
The hay stack charm around your neck
A token or symbol of affection worn around the neck, possibly a gift
Strung out and thin
Emotionally drained and physically frail
Calling some friend trying to cash some check
Attempting to borrow money from someone they know
He's acting dumb
The other person is behaving foolishly or naively
That's what you've come to expect
Expecting this kind of behavior from the other person
Needle in the hay
Repetition emphasizes feeling lost or overwhelmed ("needle in a haystack")
Needle in the hay
-Needle in the hay
-Needle in the hay
-He's wearing yr clothes
The other person is dressed in the singer's clothes
Head down to toes a reaction to you
From head to toe, completely affected by the singer's actions
You say you know what he did
The singer claims to understand the other person's actions
But you idiot kid
Expressing frustration at the other person's lack of understanding
You don't have a clue
The other person is unaware of the situation's reality
Sometimes they just get caught in the eye
Sometimes, things become obvious or noticeable
You're pulling him through
Supporting or assisting the other person despite their actions
Needle in the hay
Reiterating the feeling of being lost or overwhelmed ("needle in a haystack")
Needle in the hay
-Needle in the hay
-Needle in the hay
-Now on the bus
Traveling on a bus
Nearly touching this dirty retreat
Close proximity to an unclean or uncomfortable place
Falling out 6th and Powell a dead sweat in my teeth
Feeling extremely anxious or stressed in a specific location
Gonna walk walk walk
Intending to move forward despite difficulties
Four more blocks plus one in my break
Describing a route to be taken, possibly towards a break or pause
Down
An indication of descent or decline
