Wishing
Microbunny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mr. Laurence is a wishing well
Wishes for the sun to rain
Looks inside his little world
And he wonders...

And I'm wishing...

Emily...she wipes her hands
Turns and throws the money to the floor
And she tried to give her best
Wanted to pay more

And I'm wishing...

And under the smoke storm
She tried to reach his hand
It's dripping wet with gold dust
She sinks away into the sand





And I'm wishing...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Microbunny's song Wishing seem to be describing the wishes and desires of different characters, as well as the idea of wishing in general. The first verse refers to a character named Mr. Laurence, who is described as a "wishing well." This implies that he is someone who people go to in order to make their wishes, rather than someone making his own wishes. The lyrics suggest that Mr. Laurence is wishing for something unusual or impossible - for the sun to rain. This could be interpreted as a commentary on the futility of wishes or the desire for things that are out of reach. The line "Looks inside his little world and he wonders" implies that Mr. Laurence is introspective and reflective, perhaps contemplating the nature of his own wishes.


In the second verse, the focus shifts to a character named Emily, who seems to be a customer at some kind of establishment where money is thrown to the floor. The lyrics suggest that she is trying to give her best, perhaps in terms of tipping or patronage, but feels that she falls short in some way. The line "And under the smoke storm, she tried to reach his hand" is somewhat mysterious, but could be interpreted as a metaphor for the difficulties of communication or connection. The image of gold dust suggests something valuable, but the fact that Emily sinks away into the sand implies that it is ultimately unattainable.


Throughout the song, the repeated phrase "And I'm wishing..." suggests a sense of longing or dissatisfaction. It could be interpreted as a call to action - an acknowledgement that there is something missing, but a hope that it can be found or achieved.
