Impressionable
Staple Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can I wait when everything is crashing down on me?
When life is too much to bear will I stay there?
I saved this dance for you. I wore my finest suit.
I cleaned myself up and I memorized all the moves.
Oh how I long for this song to play forever and forever more.
Through it's duration I live, and you're the melody that I live for.
But the song ends, and so plays the all too familiar last note
Whisked away, now holding onto a memory of the song I once knew.
Complacent, yet remembering how I felt when I felt you.
I'm new. I'm frail. I'm fragile...
So impressionable, yet so hard to change.
Change me!
The lyrics of Staple's song Impressionable seem to be about a person who is in a difficult place in their life and is seeking comfort and stability from someone they deeply trust. The first two lines suggest that this person is looking for support from someone who they see as being powerful and capable, and is asking themselves whether they can truly rely on them when everything else feels like it's falling apart.
The song then turns to a more hopeful and romantic tone, with the singer preparing themselves for a moment of connection with this trusted person. They have gone to great lengths to impress them and are hoping that the moment they share will be one that lasts forever. However, the song inevitably comes to an end, and the singer is left with only the memory of the connection they once shared.
The final lines of the song are a plea for change, implying that the singer may not have experienced the stability or comfort they were hoping for with this person. Ultimately, the song seems to be about the search for stability and connection in a difficult and uncertain world, and the conflicting emotions that come with deep emotional attachment.
