Longing
Longing Echoes: A Melodic Journey Through Unrequited Love
Lyrics
Now I know I'm not enough for you
Realization that one's worth is insufficient for the other person
When the longing come's knocking at your door
Describing the arrival of a sense of yearning or desire
Safe time's over, what a waste
Highlighting the end of a period of safety and its regrettable nature
Road is open, just escape
Expressing the availability of a path for escape
Why can't you escape?
Pondering why escape seems challenging or impossible
Aah
An exclamation, possibly reflecting emotion or realization
My dearest love, love
Addressing a significant other affectionately
Love, love
Repetition for emphasis on the theme of love
She said I'd love to, I just can't seem to see straight
Describing a desire to love despite feeling disoriented
This path just ain't fast enough for you
Commenting on the perceived slowness of the current journey
When the tortures come breaking down your door, oh no
Anticipating challenges or difficulties breaking into one's life
Hide away the doubts and fears
Suggesting the act of concealing doubts and fears
Scream in silence no one hears, no one hears
Expressing the loneliness of silent suffering
Aah
Another emotional exclamation
My love, love
Reiteration of affection for the significant other
Love, love
Repetition for emphasis on the theme of love
She said I'd love to, I just can't seem to breathe in
Expressing difficulty in breathing or feeling constrained
Breathe in
Repetition of the struggle to breathe, possibly metaphorical
Breathe in
-Breathe in
-Aah
-Wind me up
Desire to be activated or motivated
And watch me run
Metaphorically describing being wound up and set in motion
Run against the wall
Metaphorically running against obstacles or challenges
Run against the wall
-Build me up
Expressing a desire to be built up or supported
And watch me fall
Anticipating a subsequent fall or failure
Fall into my song
Describing falling into one's own song, possibly a metaphor for personal expression
Into
-For I've no, no roots, no wings, no melodies
Reflecting on a lack of roots, wings, and defined melodies in life
I live off my dreams
Stating dependence on dreams for sustenance
No child to carry on for me
Emphasizing the absence of descendants and reliance on personal dreams
I live off my dreams
-And my, my memory's still sad
Reflecting on a sorrowful memory
It's when I love you the most
Expressing intense love during moments of sadness
Aah
Another emotional exclamation
My love, love

Love, love

My love, love
