She Never Heard Me Call
Silent Longings: Love Lost and Unheard in Air Supply's Melody
Lyrics
One warm night I fell in love
Expressing the start of a romantic experience on a warm night.
The air was still, the words would flow
Describing a calm atmosphere with easy conversation.
We knew each other oh so well
Indicating a deep familiarity between the individuals involved.
And though just met you'd never tell
Despite a recent meeting, their connection is strong and evident.
Sometimes we're just lonely hearts
Reflecting on the loneliness that some hearts experience.
That ride upon a floating card
Metaphorically, riding on a floating card suggests uncertainty.
Prepared to live those sleepless nights
Willingness to endure sleepless nights for moments of happiness.
For precious time in paradise
Seeking valuable time in a state of bliss.
And now I find the future's gone
Realization that the anticipated future is no longer attainable.
The reasons that I had to carry on are gone
The motivations to carry on or continue have disappeared.
I tried for it all
Efforts were made to achieve everything.
She never heard me call at all
Despite efforts, the person's calls or feelings went unheard.
There's no regrets, we made the choice
No regrets about past choices and actions.
We listened to that silent voice
Listening to an inner voice that influences decisions.
That haunts you 'til you just give in
Being haunted by a decision until surrendering to it.
And makes you like a child again
This surrender brings a sense of childlike innocence.
We drifted close then said goodbyes
Describing a separation after growing close.
Just reading well each other's eyes
Understanding each other through non-verbal communication.
The world had turned while we stood still
While the world changes, they remain static, holding onto each other.
And held on to each other
Symbolizing a commitment to each other during changes.
And in between the right and wrong
Exploring the gray area between right and wrong.
Is somewhere that sometimes you can belong
Suggesting a place where one can sometimes find belonging.
I tried for it all
Attempts were made to achieve everything.
She never heard me call
Reiterating that the person's calls or emotions went unheard.
And now I find the future's gone
Re-emphasizing the loss of anticipated future possibilities.
The reasons that I had to carry on are gone
The reasons that motivated the person to continue have vanished.
I cried for it all
Expressing emotional pain and a cry for what was lost.
She never heard me call at all
Despite the emotional cry, the person's calls remain unheard.
