Please
Bamboo Manalac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I just want to go to bed
Not think about the world
And how it all ends
Feel the wolves they're closing in
I'm not here to make excuses
But I could sure use a friend
Please tell me what's going on
Knock me over the head tell me what's going on
Easy peasy tell me what's going on
So before I wear out my welcome
I'm feeling high... feeling high
Falling deep into the blue
Deep within the shadow of myself
Pure nonsense on the page
I want to be one of those people
Lock me up in that cage
Go grab a girl, another round
Till these shoes are worn to the bone
I got nothing left that I can right
But I can fight it
So tell me what's going on
We're on red alert, still I'm bored
Tell me what's going on
Hit me over the head
Show me how it all went wrong
I'm wide awake, so let's just be crystal clear
I'm feeling high, feeling high, feeling high
Feeling high, feeling high
I'm still a stranger to this town (hurry, hurry home)
stranger in this town
Once upon a time
There lived a boy
Was never quite clear
His place in this time
Forever longed for simpler days
A cottage in spring, a castle in winter
Oh how he loved the sun
It's shadows, it's angels
Oh how it forever painted the world
And he stood right at the very center of the universe
Waiting for the bus to come
To take him, bang, where it had all begun.
The lyrics of Bamboo Manalac's song "Please" depict the singer's desire to escape the weight of the world and all its chaos by finding solace in sleep. The opening lines of the song communicate the urgency and desperation of the singer's need for rest. They convey his sense of hopelessness as he feels the wolves closing in on him, suggesting a fear of danger or loss of control. The singer then acknowledges his inability to tackle these problems alone, or to make excuses to avoid them, hence the plea for a friend.
The second verse reveals the desire for distraction from the troubles, with thoughts of wanting to engage in meaningless activities, such as partying or hooking up, but the singer acknowledges the temporary nature of these pleasures. In the chorus, he begs someone to explain what is going on, to shake him out of his stupor, and to show him what went wrong. The bridge portrays the singer's contrasting emotions of feeling hopelessly lost while also feeling somewhat content in his current state.
Overall, "Please" seems to be a song about the struggle to find hope and meaning in a difficult and confusing world. It captures the feeling of helplessness and searching for an escape in simple pleasures, while also acknowledging that these may not be enough to solve larger issues. Ultimately, it's a plea for help and guidance from someone who may have the answers.

I just want to go to bed
I am tired of living and I want rest
Not think about the world
I need a break from everything that is happening in the world
And how it all ends
I am afraid of how everything will turn out in the end
Feel the wolves they're closing in
I feel threatened by the problems that are closing in on me
I'm not here to make excuses
I don't want to make excuses for my problems
But I could sure use a friend
I need someone to help me through this difficult time
Please tell me what's going on
I need someone to explain to me what is happening
Knock me over the head tell me what's going on
I need someone to give me a wake-up call and explain what's happening
Easy peasy tell me what's going on
I want a simple explanation of what's happening
So before I wear out my welcome
I don't want to overstay my welcome
I'm feeling high... feeling high
I am feeling happy right now
Falling deep into the blue
I am feeling blue and depressed
Deep within the shadow of myself
I am feeling lost and alone
Pure nonsense on the page
What I am writing has no meaning
I want to be one of those people
I wish I was like other people who are happy and fulfilled
Lock me up in that cage
I am feeling trapped and helpless
Go grab a girl, another round
Let's have fun and forget our problems
Till these shoes are worn to the bone
Let's keep going until we are exhausted
I got nothing left that I can right
I don't know what to do anymore
But I can fight it
I won't give up, I will keep fighting through this
We're on red alert, still I'm bored
There are so many problems in the world, but I am still feeling bored
Hit me over the head
I need someone to give me a jolt
Show me how it all went wrong
I need to understand how everything went wrong
I'm wide awake, so let's just be crystal clear
I am alert and aware, so let's be honest and straightforward
I'm still a stranger to this town (hurry, hurry home)
I still don't feel at home in this place
Once upon a time
This is the start of a story
There lived a boy
This story is about a boy
Was never quite clear
The boy was always uncertain
His place in this time
He didn't know where he belonged
Forever longed for simpler days
He always wished things were simpler
A cottage in spring, a castle in winter
He dreamed of living in different places
Oh how he loved the sun
He loved being in the sun
It's shadows, it's angels
He loved how the sun created shadows and shapes
Oh how it forever painted the world
The sun always changed the world in his eyes
And he stood right at the very center of the universe
He felt important and wanted to be the center of attention
Waiting for the bus to come
He was waiting for something to happen
To take him, bang, where it had all begun.
He wanted to go back to the beginning and start over
