Delicate Few
Of a Revolution (O.A.R) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Amazing how we all want this life a little more everyday.
It's crazy how we pick ourselves up just to let us down anyway.
The one thing that you're missing is loungin' on the log right next to you.
So pick up that precious something and relax for a delicate few.

Amazing how we all want this life a little more everyday.
It's crazy how we pick ourselves up just to let us down anyway.
The one thing that you're missing is loungin' on the log right next to you.

So pick up that precious something and relax for a delicate few.

It's crazy how we all need this time a little more every way.
It's wild how we stay up nights losing part of the day.
The one time that you're loathing is there for you oh so well.
So pick up that precious someone relax for a delicate spell.

Rising up early the sun barely before me I could have sworn I just went to bed.
I smell the blizzard in the air, Winter's bitter love affair.
I grab my coat, my hat, my jacks...I put my hat on my head and I was off again as she said,
Rising up early the sun barely before me, I could have sworn I just laid my head to bed about an
hour ago.

Blizzard in the air, Winter's bitter love affair,
I grab my coat again, hat on my head, lit my jack and I was off again she said,
Rising up early that sun rose barely before me, I could have sworn I just laid my head to bed.
I've got to, but it was so cold, I've got trouble keeping hold of my lady sleeping next to me.

But I swear today, I'm gonna go off in a delicate way and I'll have so much fun I swear.
No matter what goes wrong, I'll be moving on,
I promise you, jack in my mouth, hat on my head, and I was off again she said,
Relax for a delicate few.

Just me and you.

I swear to you true, I do.
Relax for a delicate few.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of O.A.R's Delicate Few convey the message of taking time off to unwind and relax. The first two lines suggest how we yearn for a better life every day but find it unfathomable why we suffer setbacks despite our efforts. Despite the pursuit of success and achievement, we often forget the simpler things in life. The third and fourth lines suggest that we sometimes miss out on relaxing experiences that are right in front of us.

The lyrics touch upon the need to take time off from the daily grind and prioritize experiencing small moments of relaxation. The second verse touches upon how we tend to overwork, leading to sleepless nights and long days that blur into each other. However, amidst all this, there are moments of peace and solitude that we can savor. The chorus underlines the need to spend these rare moments relaxing with the significant people in our lives.

The song suggests that we should take a break from the chaos of life to experience the simpler things that we often neglect. These moments give us the chance to cherish the little things that make life worth living. The song's structure is reminiscent of a conversation, with the singer speaking to the listener, imploring them to take a break and enjoy the good things in life.
