Warning
Warning - meaning Summary
Vulnerability Summoned by Music
The speaker pleads not to be left alone when music plays because music unlocks intense, unstable emotions and memories. It makes ordinary faces seem profound, prompts impulsive generosity and fleeting love, and tempts the speaker to confess a deep secret. Later images — tears rising in a forest, a black butterfly on dark water, a bitter flower touching an old wound — link music with grief, longing, and the resurfacing of pain. The repeated refrain frames music as a force that magnifies vulnerability and so requires another’s steady presence.

It could seem to me that I dive into the sound and I could give my hands to anyone around. It could seem to me so easy, so gay to love someone for only one day. Or, I could tell someone my dearest, magically growing secret how much I love you. Oh, never leave me alone when music plays. It could seem to me that again, somewhere in a forest, my tears flow through a new well. It could seem to me that a black butterfly makes patterns on heavy water - those that no one feels free to tell. It could seem to me that somewhere in the dark zone someone sings and with a bitter flower touches my heart where the incurable wound stays. Oh, never leave me alone, never alone, when music plays.
