- Dilettante LyricsOh Elijah, don't make me wait
Nobody's winning
The sharks are swimming in the red
Oh Elijah, don't make me wait
While you are sleeping
My mind goes creaking down the hall
Slow down, dilettante
So I can limp beside you
And follow in your house too
Hang on, street savant
My bank in my back pocket
How far you think it'll take us?
You're like a party I heard through a wall
I'm always watching you through a keyhole
Let's not forget, let's not forget
Let's not forget, why we crawled here
Oh Elijah, don't make me wait
I got no patience for an estrangement, anyway
Wake up, avenue C
Your hometown is still sleeping
You're like a party I heard through a wall
Invite me
But I'm always watching you through a keyhole
Let's not forget, let's not forget
Let's not forget, where we crawled from
Oh Elijah, don't make me wait
What is so pressing
You can't undress me anyway
Nobody's winning
The sharks are swimming in the red
Oh Elijah, don't make me wait
While you are sleeping
My mind goes creaking down the hall
Slow down, dilettante
So I can limp beside you
And follow in your house too
Hang on, street savant
My bank in my back pocket
How far you think it'll take us?
You're like a party I heard through a wall
I'm always watching you through a keyhole
Let's not forget, let's not forget
Oh Elijah, don't make me wait
I got no patience for an estrangement, anyway
Wake up, avenue C
Your hometown is still sleeping
You're like a party I heard through a wall
Invite me
But I'm always watching you through a keyhole
Let's not forget, let's not forget
Let's not forget, where we crawled from
Oh Elijah, don't make me wait
What is so pressing
You can't undress me anyway

✔️

✔️
When we try to understand the message behind it, St. Vincent's 'Dilettante' suggests a person who is not very patient and who wants to be noticed badly by a certain Elijah. The song's words show a state of being pushed aside or even ignored with the help of the metaphors like waiting, peeping through a keyhole, and fading away at a metaphorical party. The main character is making a strange request for the connection given to him and is getting recognition; he poses the question why they have been so long waiting and why the others are not giving him the attention he desperately needs. Love, party, celebration, angst, and nostalgia are the main topics the lyrics mention. The song at the same time shows the importance of longing and impatience, observation and distance, and nostalgia and memory. Relationship dynamics are one of the main themes of the lyrics, which sometimes bring about the issue of children's listening without adult supervision. Although there are no direct mentions of violence, nudity, or substance abuse, the emotional tones and suggestive language referred to might be enough for a PG rating.
