Lyrics

Another day unfolds

Introducing a new day and its unfolding events

Never felt so cold, I never knew I was turning away

Expressing a sense of emotional coldness and realization of unintentional detachment

Thought I can't explain, I only love you now that you missed

Acknowledging difficulty in explaining emotions, expressing love only after its absence is felt

As I stand in the rain, leave me to go through this

Standing in the rain as a metaphor for enduring emotional hardship


I don't think I could face another sleepless night

Expressing reluctance to face another night without sleep

If I could only trace that elusive light

Desiring to find a guiding light or solution

In a dreamland flight to your agonising eyes

Yearning for a dreamlike escape to the person's intense, painful gaze

A never ending flight, my silent cries

Describing an ongoing, endless struggle with internal pain


Still I close my eyes and my mind becomes clear

Despite difficulties, finding clarity when closing eyes

Still I dream, and there you are

Dreaming of the person, suggesting a longing or subconscious connection

How still you lie and how your eyes bring back the fear

Reflecting on the person's stillness and the fear associated with their eyes

Still I can't face what's going on here

Struggling to face and comprehend the current situation


Everything that I've ever felt has gone

Expressing a loss of all previously felt emotions

At last my spirit breathes

Feeling a sense of relief as the spirit breathes, possibly indicating acceptance or resignation

I see no point in going on

Perceiving a lack of purpose in continuing with the current circumstances

So goodbye

Bidding farewell as a decision to leave becomes apparent

It's time for me to leave

Declaring the necessity and readiness to depart
