In my arm

The lyrics to Sulk Station's song Pause are quite enigmatic and open to interpretation, but one possible analysis could be that the singer is addressing someone who they are deeply attached to. The repeated phrase "you ooo oh my arms sees" suggests that this person is intimately familiar with the singer's physical presence. However, the use of the phrase "waitingness in my eye" suggests a degree of uncertainty or apprehension in the relationship. The image of "slumber" in the eye could symbolize a desire to rest or withdraw from the world, while the chill could signify a separation or emotional distance.
The repetition of words and sounds in the lyrics also contributes to the dreamlike, almost hypnotic quality of the song. The elongated "aaaahmmm" at the beginning could be seen as a vocalization of the singer's state of mind, while the various repetitions of "cold," "slumber," and "waitingness" create a sense of lingering or suspension.
Overall, the lyrics to Pause evoke a mood of longing and ambivalence, conveying a sense of intimacy mixed with uncertainty and distance.
