Lyrics
Well, she came without a warning
Unexpectedly, she arrived, impacting my emotions profoundly.
To give my heart a shape
She brought definition and form to my feelings.
Who is she? Who is Sylvia?
The singer questions the identity of this person, Sylvia.
You tell yourself that somewhere
One hopes for forgiveness from someone at some point.
Someone will forgive you
An expectation of forgiveness from an unspecified person.
Who is she? Who is Sylvia?
The repeated questioning of Sylvia's identity continues.
She doesn't have to listen
Sylvia doesn’t need to heed or be concerned.
And she doesn't have to care
She doesn’t have an obligation to care.
She doesn't even know I'm here
Sylvia remains unaware of the singer's presence.
I am I, and I am why and why is there no reason
The singer reflects on self-identity and the absence of a clear reason.
Why she doesn't even know what I'm saying
Sylvia is unaware or doesn’t understand what is being communicated.
No worries, nothings gonna get you now, Sylvia
Assurance that Sylvia shouldn’t worry; nothing will harm her.
When I first saw her face
Initial impression of Sylvia as both beautiful and sorrowful.
Beautiful and sad
Her beauty juxtaposed with a sense of sadness.
I started to live while she was learning to die
The singer feels alive while Sylvia seems to be in a process of decline or learning to accept demise.
I don't know why
Uncertainty about why doubts can betray one’s intentions.
Our doubts become traitors, treason of the will
Doubts and uncertainties undermine one’s determination and intentions.
