So Many Things
Navigating the Cloud of Emotions: Andrew Goldring's 'So Many Things'
Lyrics
There's a face drawn in the bathroom on the mirror
There's a drawn face in the bathroom mirror, not resembling the singer's own.
But it doesn't remind me of my own
The face doesn't trigger personal memories for the singer.
There's a red clock on the wall out in the kitchen
A red clock in the kitchen is counting down hours.
It's ticking down the hours
The ticking clock may symbolize the passing of time.
Waiting for you to return again
Expressing anticipation for someone's return to lift a mental cloud.
And pull my head out from this cloud I'm in
Desire for the person to bring clarity and emotional relief.
I've got so many things
Repetition of having many things to express or share.
So many things
Highlighting the abundance of thoughts or emotions.
I've got so many things
Reiteration of the singer's overwhelming feelings or experiences.
To tell you now
Expressing a strong desire to communicate with someone.
But I don't know how
Feeling uncertain about how to convey the multitude of thoughts.
There's a mountain that I once looked to for comfort
A mountain that once brought comfort is no longer visible from the window.
But it's not outside my window anymore
The absence of the comforting mountain may symbolize change or loss.
There's a picture of a memory we made up there
A picture of a memory related to the mountain, displayed near the door.
Hanging in a frame next to the door
The memory is captured and preserved, but the surroundings have changed.
I wish that things could stay the way they were
Expressing a desire for things to remain as they were in the past.
But I just needed to get out
The singer needed a change and chose to leave the familiar setting.
I've got so many things
Reiteration of the singer having many things to share or express.
So many things
Emphasizing the abundance of thoughts or experiences to communicate.
I've got so many things
Repeating the overwhelming nature of the emotions or thoughts.
To tell you now
Reiterating the strong desire to convey messages or feelings.
But I don't know how
Repetition of the struggle to articulate the multitude of thoughts.
But I don't know how
Continued expression of the difficulty in finding the appropriate words.
But I don't know how
Emphasizing the ongoing challenge of expressing complex emotions.
But I don't know how
Reiterating the struggle in finding the right way to communicate.
