Letters From The Wasteland Lyrics
To your arms and I make no sounds,
When I move through your reservoir,
But I wake up quick,
And I wake up sick as you abandon me into these fields of rank and file through this crowd I hear you breathing,
And through these bars I watch them bring more in,
Now I send back letters,
From the Wasteland home,
Where I slow dance,
To this romance on my own, It may take two to tango,
But boy, just one to let go,
It's just one to let go now boy keep still,
Don't spread yourself around,
Get back in line,
Eat your bread and just work the plow 'cause you're not through,
They're not done with you,
Did you think you were,
The only one that's been let down,
So sleep tight,
Little boys of the new damned another drop in the tidal wave of quicksand,
Now I send back letters,
From the wasteland home,
Where I slow dance to this romance on my own,
It may take two to tango but boy, just one to let go,
Now another bad idea gets through
Down the assembly line to you,
You're ever bridge I should have burned
Every lesson I've unlearned, but in this smoke filled waiting room with incarcerated love sick fools
I wait for you to cut me loose,
Till then I send back letters from the wasteland home where I slow dance to this romance on my own now
I send back letters from the wasteland home
I slow dance to this romance on my own
Another great Wallflowers song. Those guys are awesome.
"Two to tango, just one to let go..." Jakob Dylan is an amazing songwriter. I think the line right before the chorus sums it up nicely: "With incarcerated lovesick fools I wait for you to cut me loose." It's all about a relationship he used to have but the girl ended it but he can't quite get over it, so he's still "slow dancing to this romance on my own." A very relatable song.
The Wallflowers are awesome and I think Jakob Dylan should be given more credit than what he gets. This song is about a broken relationship. "....abondon me into these fields of rank and file..." This song is awesome.
Actually, I think sein514, was close but not dead on. I think this song is about a relationship that is dead but not over. There is no love anymore but the partners wish there was and remember the hope they felt in the beginning, that we all feel--they hoped they would be in love forever.
"But I wake up quick, And I wake up sick as you abandon me into these fields of rank and file..." He has become aware of the lovelessness.
"...'cause you're not through//they're not done with you." It hasn't quite been officially ended.
this song rocks
