ANALOG
Danielle Carr Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Three longs years you’ve been trying to pry the backdoor trying to look over what’s mine
1,095 days
Of your game
And I played
Bent and swayed
How long can I paint you out to be the fool
If there ain’t no more rouge
So I pinched my cheeks

Dressed all clean and pretty
Just to come over and make a decree
Didn’t I tell you to leave my baby alone
Stuck in those years, but your memory is clearly froze
When you had your chance you simply should’ve took it by the lips
Now you won’t go away like an analog tick, tick, tick tick
You can stop pestering the public
I promise she’s fine
Every night is drenched in romance and the reddest of wine
Try to pick it up, it’ll be wet, it’ll be heavy too
Then you’ll air her out to dry when your sky is finally blue
Mm, look at you
Gave it some time, but I know it’s clear you got a problem
Don’t give a fuck how but you better mother fucking solve it
Baby ain’t no tutor
No teacher for a schooler
Better settle down
Before you get slapped by the ruler
Sorry for the anarchy
But your presence is malarkey
The captain of this ship welcomes your walk up off the plank
You was swimming now you sank
Stuck in four walls…tank
Enjoy your pride and the fall…thanks
Didn’t I tell you to leave my baby alone
Stuck in those years, but your memory is clearly froze
When you had your chance you simply should’ve took it by the lips
Now you won’t go away like an analog tick, tick, tick tick
Tick tock tick tock tick tock tick
I am Daniel
You are the lions
I am Peter
You are the sea
Didn’t I tell you to leave my baby alone
Stuck in those years, but your memory is clearly froze

When you had your chance you simply should’ve took it by the lips
Now you won’t go away like an analog tick, tick, tick tick

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of Danielle Carr's song "Analog," the artist is addressing someone who has been trying to intrude on their personal life and relationships for a prolonged period of time. The opening lines suggest that this individual has been attempting to pry into the artist's private affairs for three years, as indicated by the reference to 1,095 days. The artist describes playing along with the game, bending and swaying to accommodate the intruder's actions, but ultimately reaches a breaking point where they decide to assert themselves and draw a clear boundary.

The artist asserts their independence and autonomy by symbolically pinching their cheeks, dressing up, and confidently confronting the intruder to demand that they leave the artist's loved one alone. There is a sense of defiance and strength in the artist's words as they challenge the intruder's continued presence in their life. The repeated mention of analog imagery, with references to ticking and the persistence of outdated technology, conveys a sense of time passing and the intruder's refusal to move on.

As the lyrics progress, the artist's tone becomes more assertive and confrontational. They express frustration with the intruder's lingering presence and demand that the issue be resolved. The artist uses vivid imagery to paint a picture of the intruder's stubbornness and the consequences they will face if they do not heed the warning to stay away. There is a sense of power dynamics at play, as the artist positions themselves as the captain of their own ship and warns the intruder of the consequences of their actions.

The song culminates in a powerful assertion of identity and strength, with the artist drawing a parallel between themselves and biblical figures like Daniel and Peter, symbolizing resilience and triumph over adversity. The final repetition of the chorus reinforces the artist's determination to protect their loved one and assert their boundaries against the intruder's unwanted advances. Overall, "Analog" is a defiant anthem of self-empowerment and resilience in the face of intrusion and unwanted interference in personal relationships.

Line by Line Meaning

Three longs years you’ve been trying to pry the backdoor trying to look over what’s mine
For 1,095 days, you have been attempting to invade my privacy and interfere with my personal affairs

How long can I paint you out to be the fool
I can only portray you as foolish for so long

So I pinched my cheeks, Dressed all clean and pretty
I prepared myself meticulously to confront you

Didn’t I tell you to leave my baby alone
I already warned you to stay away from my loved one

You can stop pestering the public, I promise she’s fine, Every night is drenched in romance and the reddest of wine
Stop spreading false information about her, she is happy and content in her relationship

When you had your chance you simply should’ve took it by the lips
If you had the opportunity, you should have seized it without hesitation

Now you won’t go away like an analog tick, tick, tick tick
You linger persistently like the sound of an analog clock ticking

You was swimming now you sank, Stuck in four walls…tank, Enjoy your pride and the fall…thanks
You were flourishing, but now you find yourself trapped and sinking, your downfall is inevitable

I am Daniel, You are the lions, I am Peter, You are the sea
I am symbolizing strength and courage, while you represent danger and instability
