Distance
Makthaverskan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm feeling numb and I beg you, don't you leave pretty baby
Don't you leave pretty baby
Come on, come on the time is up
Come on, come on the time is up
Come on, come on the time is up
Come on, come on the time is up
Stay with me my baby
Don't you leave oh I beg you, don't you leave pretty baby
Come on, come on the time is up
Come on, come on the time is up
Come on, come on the time is up
Come on, come on the time is up
In Makthaverskan's song "Distance," the lyrics communicate a sense of desperation and fear of abandonment. The singer is haunted by a seemingly insurmountable distance between themselves and their lover. They feel numb, and plead with their partner not to leave them. The repetition of "Come on, come on, the time is up" gives the sense that they are running out of time and are desperate for their partner to stay.
This feeling of desperation is emphasized by the repeated phrase "don't you leave pretty baby." The singer seems to be appealing not just to their partner's love for them, but to their own vanity and desire to be seen as attractive ("pretty baby"). This suggests that the singer feels powerless to influence their partner's decision to leave, and is grasping at straws to convince them to stay.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of vulnerability and a fear of loneliness that is relatable to many listeners. The repetition of the lyrics and the haunting melody contribute to a feeling of unease and desperation that builds throughout the song.
Line by Line Meaning
The distance is so haunting
Being apart from you feels unbearable and distressing
I'm feeling numb and I beg you, don't you leave pretty baby
I feel emotionless and I urge you not to abandon me, my dear
Don't you leave pretty baby
Please never go away, my darling
Come on, come on the time is up
Hurry, we're running out of time
Come on, come on the time is up
We can't delay any longer
Come on, come on the time is up
Our chance is slipping away
Come on, come on the time is up
It's now or never
