The lyrics of Punctual's song "Repeating" depict a repetitive thought or question on the singer's mind that won't go away. The phrase "I got a question on my mind" is reiterated throughout the song, emphasizing the relentless nature of this thought. It's as if the question is constantly spinning in their head, unable to find resolution or escape. The repetitive nature of the chorus, with the lines "Work for me, Dance for me, Move for me, Shake for me" being repeated multiple times, further emphasizes this sense of repetition and the persistent nature of the thought.
The repetition of the phrase "Work for me, Dance for me, Move for me, Shake for me" can be interpreted as a demand or request being made by the singer's mind. It suggests a desire for action, for movement, and for the external world to provide answers or solutions to the question that is plaguing them. It's as if they are seeking distraction or escape, asking others to work, dance, move, and shake to help alleviate their internal turmoil.
Overall, the lyrics of "Repeating" convey a sense of frustration, confusion, and the overwhelming nature of a thought that won't stop repeating in the singer's mind. The repetition of certain phrases emphasizes the cyclical nature of their mental state, while the demand for action from others highlights their longing for resolution and relief.

Ever since Punctual's debut on MC, their style of music got me hooked, and I am always excited whenever they drop a new song!
@PhoenixMagnet
I love!
@BraxtonKovary
Bruh, why is this so early
[For context, the premiere for this song appeared a week before the song officially released. ]
@tabithaneudorf7328
You could say they were being overly Punctual
@call-meS
He is overly punctual
@Ready4Music
They're extremely punctual.
@zappinghero4690
It's pretty weird to know that this Instinct release appeared about 5 days before it got Premiered (lol), but other than that, pretty cool song, and as usual, Punctual makes such cool intense looking background visuals too! :)
