Block Of Wood
Emotional Turmoil Unveiled: Yves Jarvis' Block Of Wood Meaning
Lyrics
What do you want from me tonight?
Questioning what the other person desires or expects from the speaker tonight.
Somebody who will treat you right
Desiring someone who will treat them well and with respect.
Don't push how you feel aside
Encouraging openness about emotions without suppressing them.
No - I do not play games of that kind
Asserting that the speaker doesn't engage in manipulative or deceitful games.
What do you need?
Inquiring about the other person's needs.
Put yourself out there and discover
Encouragement to explore and reveal oneself.
We can take care of ourselves and each other, baby
Expressing mutual care and support between the speaker and the other person.
If I get emotional and think about the minutes
Feeling emotional and reflecting on time passing.
Slipping away
Experiencing a sense of time slipping away, causing distress.
I'm going insane
Feeling like losing sanity due to the situation.
Should have admitted it to you but I couldn't
Regretting the inability to confess something important to the other person.
Find the courage to say
Lacking the courage to express inner feelings to the other person.
I'm in so much pain
Experiencing significant emotional pain.
I learned to push it down
Learning to suppress emotions until encountering the other person.
Until you came around
Feeling vulnerable and exposed due to the other person's impact.
Undid me so good
Feeling undone or emotionally affected in a profound way by the other person.
But I wish I knew where I stood
Desiring clarity about the status or nature of the relationship.
Tell me everything that you like
Seeking information about the other person's preferences or desires.
We'll satisfy that appetite
Willingness to fulfill the other person's desires or needs.
Until you scream
Describing intense satisfaction or pleasure.
Just supposed to be a friendly summer
Originally expected a casual relationship, not anticipating deeper involvement.
Didn't expect you to become my next lover, baby
Surprised by the deepening of the relationship with the other person.
I seem to freeze when I'm backed into the corner
Feeling overwhelmed or paralyzed when confronted with a difficult situation.
I don't know how to be
Uncertainty about how to behave or act in certain situations.
And I just want to please
Desire to please others, possibly at the expense of personal needs.
And I just missed the last call by a minute
Missing an opportunity or connection by a very small margin.
Still a quarter to 3
Specific time reference, feeling the urgency or significance of the moment.
So I beg and I plead
Begging or pleading for something significant.
1 drink to push it down
Using alcohol to suppress emotions or discomfort.
Feeling better now
Feeling relief or improvement after consuming alcohol.
That did me some good
Feeling ready to reconcile or make amends.
Settle up, come back to my hood
Willingness to return to a familiar or comfortable place.
Yeah
Expression of unresolved desires or uncertainties.
I wish I could know where I stood
Repetition emphasizing the longing for clarity or understanding.
I wish I could know where I stood
-I wish I could know where I stood
-Yeah
-I wish I could
-Wish I could
-Wish I could
-I get so stuck up in the head every minute
Feeling trapped or absorbed in one's thoughts constantly.
Leave your messages read
Not responding to messages or communication, reflecting on what was said.
Think about what you said
Continuously thinking about the other person's words or advice.
I'm so fed up of my condition and I need to hear
Frustration with personal circumstances, seeking advice or guidance.
What you suggest I should try instead
Seeking suggestions or recommendations for change.
Feel from the neck down
Feeling emotions intensely, especially physical reactions due to emotions.
Get out of town
Desire to escape or leave the current situation.
I'm not a block of wood
Asserting that despite emotional sensitivity, the speaker is not devoid of feelings or insensitivity.
But I don't know if I could
Expressing uncertainty about the ability to respond or act appropriately.
