Lisbon
Love's Desperation: Wolf Alice's Emotional Journey in 'Lisbon'
Lyrics
You're gonna look at me twice, it's eventual
You will eventually give me a second look.
You're there when you're not 'cause
You exist in my thoughts even when physically absent because I'm consuming your menthol cigarettes.
I'm smoking your menthols
Reiterating the act of smoking your menthol cigarettes.
Smoking your menthols
Repeating the previous line, emphasizing the significance.
Wearing all your clothes again
Wearing your clothing, which may be a metaphor for trying to embody or connect with you.
They're wearing thin but it's one way to
Your clothes are becoming worn, but it's a method of staying connected.
Be together
Being together is achieved through wearing the clothes.
Be together
Repeating the desire to be together.
Swallow the fear
Overcoming fear is necessary for unity.
My stone cold fox
Addressing a beloved as a stone cold fox, possibly expressing admiration or affection.
My arms are here
Offering emotional support with open arms.
I've been ready for so long
Expressing long-standing readiness for a relationship or connection.
And I would lick your wounds and care
Metaphorically expressing willingness to comfort and care for the person.
Feel like running, feel like crack
Feeling the urge to escape or run away, akin to the effects of crack cocaine.
Feel like going out and smashing windows
Desiring to engage in destructive behavior like smashing windows, possibly reflecting inner turmoil.
I'm Smashing windows
Repeating the act of smashing windows, emphasizing the intensity of emotions.
And in a black, black hole deeper than death
Describing a profound emotional state, possibly referring to a dark and challenging period.
I would wait for you there just give me the breath to say it
Willingness to wait in a difficult situation, asking for the opportunity to express feelings.
Back together
Reiterating the desire to be back together after facing challenges.
Swallow the fear
Encouraging the overcoming of fear for the sake of unity.
My stone cold fox
Addressing the beloved as a stone cold fox again, expressing admiration and affection.
My arms are here
Offering emotional support with open arms, a repeated gesture of care.
I've been ready for so long
Repeating the expression of readiness for a relationship or connection.
And I would lick your wounds and care
Metaphorically expressing a commitment to comforting and caring for the person.
Feel like running, feel like crack
Feeling the urge to escape or run away, possibly due to inner struggles.
Feel like going out and smashing windows
Desiring to engage in destructive behavior like smashing windows, reflecting intense emotions.
I'm Smashing windows
Repeating the act of smashing windows, emphasizing the intensity of emotional turmoil.
And in a black, black hole deeper than death
Willingness to wait in a difficult situation, asking for the opportunity to express feelings.
