Yesterday's Come and Gone
Contemplating Life's Mysteries in 'Yesterday's Come and Gone'
Lyrics
Sometimes I wonder why the rain must fall
Sometimes the speaker questions the reasons behind the occurrence of rain.
And tears come down like thunder
Expressing the emotional impact of tears, drawing a parallel to the intensity of thunder.
Sometimes I wonder
The speaker continues to ponder various aspects of life.
Why must we live alone only to go back home
Questioning the purpose of living alone when one ultimately returns home where nature thrives.
Where the green grass and roots grow from under.
Describing home as a place where green grass and roots grow beneath.
Sometimes I wonder.
Reiteration of the speaker's pondering or questioning.
Early morning sunsets, haven't seen the bed yet
Reflecting on early morning sunsets and the speaker's lack of sleep.
Thoughts of sleep now pull me under
Being pulled into thoughts of sleep as a consequence of exhaustion.
Sometimes I wonder
The speaker continues to wonder about various aspects of life.
But there's no need to think of it.
Asserting that there's no need to overthink or dwell on these thoughts.
There's really nothing much to it.
Stating that the situation is simple and straightforward.
It's so easy for her, she shuts the door.
Describing someone else's ease in handling a situation, possibly shutting emotions out.
As if it's all been done before.
Observing a sense of familiarity or repetition in the actions of the person mentioned.
Well if it's all been done, then why can't I find the sun.
Expressing frustration at not being able to find joy or happiness despite others seemingly achieving it.
The clouds have come the sun is now under.
Noting a change in the weather, metaphorically signifying a shift in circumstances.
Sometimes I wonder...
Repeating the speaker's contemplation about various aspects of life.
