Adore
Exploring Longing and Release in "Adore" by Wild Nothing
Lyrics
Standing out by the station
The narrator is positioned near the station.
Waiting for the clouds to part
Waiting for a change in circumstances or for clarity.
It's been a very long time
Expressing a lengthy duration.
You understand my frustration
Acknowledging the listener's comprehension of their frustration.
And I can see the end in sight
Perceiving the conclusion or resolution of a situation.
But I can't see anyone I know
Feeling disconnected from familiar individuals.
Not you, the one that I adore
Addressing someone beloved but not present.
Not you, my vibration
Addressing someone or something that brings inner peace or harmony.
After all the dust has settled and you
Reflecting on resolution or conclusion after a tumultuous period.
Come walking out the dark into view
Describing the emergence of someone from obscurity or difficulties.
Only then, can I let her go
Implying the release or departure of a person.
Only then, am I calm
Attaining a state of tranquility or peace.
So she sits on a stairwell
Depicting a woman seated on a staircase.
Her face in shadow like a dream
Her face obscured, creating a mysterious or unreal quality.
The whisper, "have you been here for long?"
A query regarding the duration of her presence.
"Oh no, don't worry"
Assuring there's no need for concern.
When I look up she is another
Observing a change in the woman's appearance.
Her figure stretched and torn apart
Noting a distortion or alteration in her form.
The echoes are bouncing 'round my brain
Sensory experiences reverberating within the narrator's mind.
Within me, not far
Indicating a closeness to the narrator's thoughts or emotions.
After all the dust has settled and you
Reiterating the emergence of someone after turmoil.
Come walking out the dark into view
Restating the appearance of a person after a difficult time.
Only then, can I let her go
Repeating the idea of letting go of someone after their emergence.
Only then, am I calm
Reaffirming the attainment of calmness after a resolution.
After all the dust has settled and you
Reiterating the emergence of someone after turmoil.
Come walking out the dark into view
Restating the appearance of a person after a difficult time.
Only then, can I let her go
Repeating the idea of letting go of someone after their emergence.
Only then, am I calm
Reaffirming the attainment of calmness after a resolution.
