Apology for an Accident
Echoes of Love and Loss: American Music Club's Apology
Lyrics
When you left, you took all memory of me with
After your departure, all memories of me were taken away.
Leaving me with no hope of every being loved
Left without hope of ever being loved again.
And now, like the air, I'm blowing and blowing
Similar to air, I'm aimlessly moving without hope of being noticed.
With no hope of ever being seen
Continuing to exist without the prospect of recognition.
Did you hear the one about Mr. Ed?
Reference to Mr. Ed, segueing into personal feelings.
Well, he said
Continuation of Mr. Ed's words.
"I'm this way because of the things I've seen
Attributing personal state to life experiences, preferring love.
But I would rather count on your love instead
Expressing reliance on love instead of negative experiences.
Daily eating my weight in hay."
Humorous reference to Mr. Ed's diet, contrasting with serious theme.
And I hate to see a good thing just go to waste
Displeasure at seeing a valuable thing wasted.
Honey, it's a little weak for my taste
Describing the situation as a bit feeble for personal liking.
Well, I've been praying a lot lately
Increased prayer due to the absence of a TV.
It's because I no longer have a TV
Only a fluorescent hangover remains, affecting perceptions.
Just a fluorescent hangover to light the way
Contrast between spoken words and observed reality.
Between the things you say and the things I see
Highlighting the discrepancy between communication and observation.
I just called you up to see if you wanted to go out
Attempting to connect and spend time together.
And drink a little wine
Suggesting a casual outing with wine.
And waste some time on a roller coaster ride
Proposing a lighthearted roller coaster ride.
But you say it's too dangerous to lead an empty life
Rejection due to the perceived danger of leading an empty life.
And I hate to see all your sweet words just go to waste
Expressing disappointment at the potential waste of sweet words.
But, honey, they're a little weak for my taste
Qualifying the sweet words as a bit feeble for personal taste.
Well, I'm an expert in all things that nature abhors
Claiming expertise in things nature dislikes, introducing personal interaction.
Your look of disgust when I touched your skin
Recalling a moment of disgust in physical contact.
And I try to figure what the world needs me for
Reflecting on one's purpose in the world.
So I replay the scene again and again
Replaying a scene to understand personal significance.
And I can see you try and put me in my place
Noticing an attempt to put one in a designated position.
Honey, that's a little weak for my taste
Deeming the attempt as a bit feeble for personal liking.
