Too Soon To Tell

Drab Majesty's 'Too Soon To Tell' delves into the complexities of love, time, and the uncertainty that often accompanies deep emotional connections. The song opens with a vision of the future, suggesting a long-term perspective on a relationship. The line 'Devotion is not a word I fear' indicates a willingness to commit, yet there's an underlying tension as the lyrics explore what lies between the hands of the lovers. This metaphorical 'sculpture' they have created together represents their shared experiences and memories, which are fragile and susceptible to breaking.

The recurring question, 'Don't you wonder how it could be?' reflects a sense of curiosity and doubt about the future of the relationship. The phrase 'Too soon to tell' underscores the uncertainty and the idea that time is needed to reveal the true nature of their bond. The song also touches on the theme of pain and its role in uniting or dividing people. The line 'If hate is what you claim, how can it be undone?' suggests that negative emotions can be challenging to overcome, yet there's a yearning for resolution and understanding.

As the song progresses, the narrator observes the other person from a distance, noting a change in their demeanor. The shadow mentioned serves as a reminder of past selves and the evolution of their relationship. The repetition of 'Too soon to tell, too soon to see' emphasizes the ongoing uncertainty and the need for patience. Drab Majesty's ethereal soundscape complements the introspective lyrics, creating a hauntingly beautiful exploration of love's complexities and the passage of time.
