I Can't Get Through to You
Unreachable Longings: Yellow House's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
Could we speak a while in confidence?
Expressing a desire for a private conversation
Shall we blaze a trail through common sense?
Suggesting a departure from rationality or societal norms
The night ignites dreams of the past
Nighttime evokes memories of the past
The light invites thoughts to move past
The presence of light encourages thoughts to move forward
As the dusk warns me of its coming
Dusk signals the approach of something, possibly a challenge
I'm reminded of the longing
Feeling a sense of yearning or desire
Which doesn't spare me my fall
An acknowledgment of a fall or failure
I can't get through to you at all
Expressing difficulty in communicating with someone
Could we lie a while in silence?
Suggesting a need for quiet contemplation
Or shall we reconvene once we're cleansed of our sins?
Proposing to reconnect after resolving personal issues
The comfort of sex seems to be
Describing sex as a temporary escape from problems
The only escape made available to me
Indicating limited options for escape
As your skin soaks into my skin
Highlighting intimacy as a reason to start anew
It seems reason enough to begin again
Emphasizing the importance of physical connection
But slowly I recall how
Reflecting on the realization of a hindrance or obstacle
I can't get through to you at all
Reiterating the difficulty in reaching the other person
Could you whisper another lie to me?
Requesting another falsehood or deception
Shall we bask in false security?
Suggesting a preference for a comforting illusion
I'd rather play dumb than sleep alone tonight
Choosing ignorance over solitude
Pretend that I don't know a thing about you and him
Pretending not to know about someone else
It's enough to make me shiver
Expressing a strong emotional response, possibly fear or discomfort
Almost enough to make me cry
Almost reaching a point of emotional release
Almost enough to make me call
Almost deciding to make a significant call
But I can't get through to you at all
Reiterating the ongoing difficulty in communication
