Open Ended Cue

The Verge - Open Ended Cue

The title “Open Ended Cue” is based on the homophon cue and queue. These pair of lyrics can be interpreted as talk between two friends. The chorus section is written from the guy who seeks advice, whereas the verses are the advice he receives. One person interprets life as an open-ended queue whereas the other person sees the changes.

And I
Didn’t want you to go
Didn’t want to know
Didn’t want to leave you on your own

And I
Didn’t want you to go
Didn’t want to know
Didn’t want to leave you on your own

Hey you,
don’t give it a try
cause there won’t be another chance
for saying goodbye

When the clock ticks away,
There goes the day
Proposing to leave
All things we believed

Life is an open-ended queue
When it’s repetition ends,
we don’t know what to do

We are one with our hearts
and one with this system
And that’s the reason
why you should listen

Believe me,
even it’s not understandable
I could make nearly all manageable

Don’t leave it
cause it’ll all come back to you
When you don’t leave her,
You’ll be insecure

Before you ask me
for something to do
Ask yourself
cause it all depends on you

Hold that swing
it began to ring
Hold the time
and begin to sing…

And I
Didn’t want you to go
Didn’t want to know
Didn’t want to leave you on your own

There is so much more to do
So much more you didn’t know
Life’s an open-ended cue

Believe me,
it’ll come back to you
When you don’t leave her,
You’ll remain in the queue

It takes some time,
say a couple of weeks
It returns and you’ll meet
someone who seeks

Time is
something incomprehensible
The only thing you can do
is to be less sensible

Believe in yourself
And into the system,
And you should listen

You need some time
good advice,
a friends help and strength
to get out of this crisis

So let me be your helping hand
It doesn’t matter
how much time I have to lend

Before you ask me
for something to do
Ask yourself
cause it all depends on you

Hold that swing
it began to ring
old the time cause
life is an open-ended cue

And I
Didn’t want you to go
Didn’t want to know
Didn’t want to leave you on your own

There is so much more to do
So much more you didn’t know
Life’s an open-ended cue

And I
Didn’t want you to go
Didn’t want to know
Didn’t want to leave you on your own

There is so much more to do
So much you didn’t know
Life’s an open-ended cue
