Lyrics
A little more is what I need
A desire for a little more in life
For I seen it before and never since
Reference to a past experience that has not been repeated
It’s haunted my dreams and makes me feel
An unsettling and recurring memory affecting dreams and emotions
Like I ran ashore: it’s the standstill
Feeling stuck or halted in progress, experiencing a standstill
Helpless as I can be
Expressing vulnerability and helplessness
You’re as heartless as you can be
Describing someone as lacking compassion or empathy
A little more is all I need
Desire for a little more, echoing the opening line
For I seen it before and never since
Reiteration of a past experience that hasn't recurred
Give me more – I beg you please
Pleading for more, possibly in a metaphorical sense
You filthy whore, I’m on my knees
Angrily addressing someone with derogatory language
It’s fills up my dreams, it makes me sick
An experience that is disturbing and affecting mental well-being
I’m on those pills – I got that thick
Suggesting the use of pills for coping or escape
Helpless as I can be
Reiteration of helplessness and vulnerability
You’re a heartless wreck, that’s what you be
Labeling someone as emotionally damaged
A little more, all I need
Expressing a recurring desire for more
For I got it before, and never since
Recollection of a past experience that hasn't repeated
Standstill, standstill makes me feel
Emphasizing the emotional impact of a standstill
Standstill, standstill fills up my dreams
Repetition of the effect of a standstill on dreams
Standstill, standstill makes me feel
Continuation of describing the emotional impact of a standstill
Like we’ll never be the same again
Suggesting a sense of irreparable change
The same again
Repetition emphasizing the permanence of change
The same again
Further emphasis on the lasting impact of the standstill
Little more than what I need
Reiteration of the desire for a little more
To my aching sores would bring relief
Seeking relief from emotional pain
It’s haunted my dreams and made me feel
Repeating the haunting impact on dreams and emotions
Like I ran ashore, like a standstill
Recalling the feeling of being stuck or at a standstill
Helpless as I can be
Reaffirming helplessness, this time with strong language
You’re a heartless bitch, that’s what you be
Using derogatory terms to describe someone as emotionally damaged
A little more, all I need
Reiteration of the desire for a little more
For I’ve seen you before, but never since
Recollection of encountering someone in the past
Standstill, standstill makes me feel
Emphasizing the emotional impact of a standstill
Standstill, standstill fills up my dreams
Repetition of the effect of a standstill on dreams
Standstill, standstill makes me feel
Continuation of describing the emotional impact of a standstill
Like we’ll never be the same again
Suggesting a sense of irreparable change
The same again
Repetition emphasizing the permanence of change
The same again and again and again
Further emphasis on the lasting impact of the standstill
The same again
Repetition emphasizing the permanence of change
The same again
Continued emphasis on the lasting impact of the standstill
