Ballad of Lost
Lost in Love's Echo: Amythyst Kiah's Haunting Ballad
Lyrics
Every time the wind blows
Reference to a recurring emotional turmoil triggered by external influences.
My mind goes too
Connection between the wind and the speaker's wandering mind.
My heart keeps on wandering
Continual emotional restlessness or searching, as the heart keeps wandering.
And my head is in the clouds
Metaphorical expression of a dreamy or distracted state of mind.
When your name slips through my lips
The impact of uttering a specific name on the speaker's emotions.
My heart falls through
Intense emotional response, suggesting vulnerability when the mentioned name is spoken.
Don't you know my eyes were brown
Reference to a physical characteristic (eye color) as a point of change.
Oh, but now they've turned to blue
Symbolic transformation, possibly indicating a shift in the speaker's perspective or identity.
And I am lost, maybe I have always been
Admission of being lost, possibly in a broader existential sense.
And I believe that I can forgive
Belief in the capacity to forgive, acknowledging the possibility of reconciliation.
Can I forget, never
Recognition of the impossibility of forgetting, suggesting lingering emotional scars.
Oh, your eyes went wide
Observation of a significant reaction (wide eyes) to a specific situation.
When I saw you with her
Emotional impact of seeing someone with another person.
You wanted to explain
Desire to explain a situation or justify actions.
Well, I just turned and walked away, oh
Resolute action of walking away without engaging in explanations or confrontation.
And I am lost, maybe I have always been
Reiteration of the theme of being lost, suggesting a recurring struggle.
And I believe that I can forgive
Maintaining a belief in the ability to forgive despite ongoing challenges.
But can I forget, never
Acknowledgment of the enduring nature of certain memories or experiences.
Someday you gonna find me
Futuristic anticipation of a moment when the speaker will be found or rediscovered.
Once ashes turn to doves
Transformation of negative experiences into something positive and peaceful.
May peace bring me shelter to defeat the pain you 'cause me
Seeking solace and protection from the pain caused by someone's actions.
But until then, I'll still be
Indication of perseverance and endurance until a transformative event occurs.
I am lost, maybe I have always been
Reiteration of the ongoing feeling of being lost, emphasizing its persistence.
And I believe that I can forgive
Continued belief in the capacity to forgive despite repeated challenges.
Can I forget, never
Emphasis on the impossibility of forgetting certain experiences or emotions.
