No No No
Frozen Echoes of Love: Unraveling the Yearning in Yeah Yeah Yeahs' 'No No No'
Lyrics
Well I'm frozen like a soldier
Feeling emotionally paralyzed or stuck, similar to a soldier in a frozen state.
Don't know where it stays all over the place
Feeling disoriented or confused, unsure of where things are or how they are positioned.
Time froze like an ocean
Experiencing a moment where time seems to stand still, likened to the stillness of an ocean.
Don't know the taste of a never ending ache
Unfamiliar with the sensation of a constant and unending emotional pain.
No no no no
Expressing refusal or denial, repeatedly rejecting something.
Why I hurry when I'm home
Questioning why there's a rush or urgency when returning home.
I hurry when I'm home, I'll go
Reiterating the hurry to return home, indicating an imminent departure.
No no no
Further refusal or denial, persisting in rejecting something.
Why I hurry when I'm home, I'll go
Reiterating the confusion about hurrying home and leaving.
Oh I'll go
Confirmation of departure or leaving.
It's really not bad not worse than you thought
Reassurance that the situation isn't as terrible as it may seem.
He'll never come back, he's the man you dropped
A person who won't return, someone abandoned or left behind.
He'll never come back, he's the man you loved
Repetition of a person who won't come back, someone once loved.
It's really not bad not worse than you thought
Reiteration that the situation isn't as awful as initially perceived.
He'll never come back, he's the man you dropped
Repetition of someone abandoned or left behind, emphasizing their absence.
He'll never come back, he's the man you loved
Repetition of someone once loved who won't return.
I told her, I told her, I told her, I'll go
Statement of telling someone about leaving, possibly emphasizing the act of communicating this.
I told her, I told her, I told her...
Continuation of informing someone about leaving, possibly unfinished or broken due to emotional distress.
No no no no no
Further expression of refusal or denial, rejecting emphatically.
