Lyrics
Another quick goodbye
Expresses experiencing another sudden departure
Without a reason why
Leaving without providing an explanation
Left me crying like a child
Left feeling emotionally devastated, akin to a child crying
In the driveway
Metaphorically in the driveway, signifying a moment of departure or transition
Both eyes on the prize
Focusing solely on the goal, leading to ignorance of other things
Only made me blind
Being fixated on the goal made one oblivious to other aspects
Not how I pictured my life
Life didn't turn out as envisioned, going in an unexpected direction
Going sideways
Life is deviating from the anticipated path
Thought that the hardest part was letting go
Initially believed that the most challenging part was releasing someone/something
Swore I did yeah I wore black clothes
Swore to have mourned and accepted, symbolized by wearing black clothing
But I'm still seeing all these ghosts
Despite efforts, still haunted by memories or remnants of the past
So
Transition to the next thought/phase
Maybe clarity isn't found in clear blue skies
Suggests that clarity or understanding isn't always found in ideal situations
Where do all our dreams go after they die
Questioning where aspirations go after they are unfulfilled or abandoned
Can I visit them at the local cemetery
Contemplating visiting the metaphorical resting place of abandoned dreams
Bring them flowers, lay to rest the weight I've carried
Symbolic act of paying respects to forgotten dreams and unfulfilled ambitions
Yeah
Reiterating the desire to honor lost dreams
Pictures in a frame
Imagery of preserving memories through pictures
A quote next to a name
Indication of commemoration through quotes and names
Is there more to all the ways
Questioning if there's deeper significance to being human
That we're human
Recognition of human diversity
No we're not the same
Acknowledgment of differences among people despite shared humanity
And yet we're all the same
Contradictory similarity among humans despite individual differences
Can we just admit we don't know what we're doing
Admitting the uncertainty in understanding life's direction
Maybe clarity isn't found in clear blue skies
Repetition of the idea that clarity isn't always found in ideal circumstances
Where do all our dreams go after they die
Reiteration of pondering the fate of unfulfilled dreams
Can I visit them at the local cemetery
Reiteration of contemplating visiting abandoned dreams symbolically
Bring them flowers, lay to rest the weight I've carried
Repetition of the desire to honor forgotten dreams
Thought that the hardest part was letting go
Revisiting the belief that releasing someone/something was the hardest part
Swore I did yeah I wore black clothes
Recalling the act of mourning and acceptance through attire
And I made my peace, whatever that means
Claiming to have found peace, although its definition remains unclear
But I'm seeing all these ghosts
Continued struggle with memories or remnants of the past
Maybe clarity isn't found in clear blue skies
Restating the notion that clarity isn't always found in ideal circumstances
Where do all our dreams go after they die
Reiteration of questioning the fate of unfulfilled dreams
Can I visit them at the local cemetery
Repetition of the contemplation of symbolically revisiting abandoned dreams
Bring them flowers, lay to rest the weight I've carried
Repetition of the desire to honor forgotten dreams
Can I visit them at the local cemetery
Repeated contemplation of symbolically revisiting abandoned dreams
Bring them flowers, lay to rest the weight I've carried
Repeated desire to honor forgotten dreams symbolically
