Don't Wait Up
Embracing Vulnerability: A Song of Love and Insecurity
Lyrics
Don't wait up
Expressing the idea of not expecting someone to wait for them.
Don't wait up
Reiteration of the notion not to wait for the speaker.
I tried to hurt you as hard as I could
Admitting an attempt to hurt the other person using words, not physical violence.
using words not fists using words not fists
Repetition of using words instead of fists to cause harm.
I am so scared, too insecure, inside my little cage I reassure myself
Expressing fear, insecurity, and self-reassurance within a confined mental state.
That I am all alone and let my head
Feeling alone and allowing the mind to shape the reality received by the heart.
believe what my heart already has received.
Believing what the heart has already received, aligning with the thoughts in the mind.
Don�t wait up
Reiteration of advising not to wait for the speaker.
Don�t wait up
Repeating the idea of not waiting up for the speaker.
I tried to hurt you as hard I as I could,
Acknowledging an attempt to hurt using force, distinguishing from inner strength.
using force not strength using force not strength
Repetition of using force rather than relying on personal strength.
I am so scared, too weak inside my little brain I reassure myself
Expressing fear and weakness within a limited mental capacity.
That I will never be alone,
Affirmation that the speaker will never be alone.
I must let my head believe what my heart already has received.
Stressing the importance of aligning thoughts with the feelings already received by the heart.
My love I'll bash my head in,
Expressing deep emotions of love, protection, and a desire for intimacy.
My life I'll wrap you up in.
-My heart I've set you up against
-My fear ready to tuck you in.
-My chest where all the light is hid
-For you to lay your tired head to sleep
-And dream in the quiet colours of our hearts too much I know I know
Acknowledging the intensity of emotions and the constant presence of the other person.
It's you it's you it's you. (x 4)
Repetition emphasizing the focus on the other person.
I cut my heart open after santa let the guilt crawl into your mouth????
Metaphorical expression of vulnerability and opening up emotionally.
I'm your truth you be dare. (x8)
Declaration of being the truth while encouraging the other person to be daring.
My seasons are awake like copper and silver like
Symbolic imagery of seasons, building a temple of the body, and expressing devotion.
August illusions both of flashes of light
-I'll build a temple out of my body where you can lay yourself down
-And take all your glory and gold and fashion it into your crown
-So my lips will cover you in kisses
-My life will be your truth your dare
-I'm your truth you be dare. (x8)
Repetition of being the truth while challenging the other person to be daring.
Don't wait up (don't wait up, don't wait up) (x8)
Final reiteration of not waiting for the speaker.
