Lyrics
Gillian played me a song
Gillian played a song for the speaker.
It was that day when everything was wrong
It was a day filled with challenges and difficulties.
Gillian singing in my heart – in my ears
Gillian's singing resonates in the speaker's heart and ears.
And tears running down
The speaker is emotional, with tears streaming down.
I was facing the ground
The speaker is looking downward, possibly in sadness or reflection.
Gillian played me a song i was so tired then
Gillian plays a song for the speaker, who is fatigued.
The music caressed my skin
The music has a soothing effect on the speaker's skin.
Just like when someone finally holds you
Similar to the comfort of being held, the music allows the speaker to let go.
And you can give in
It's a moment of surrender and acceptance that the speaker has been avoiding.
This you've been avoiding
The speaker acknowledges avoiding something.
You think you'll fall apart but
Despite the fear of falling apart, it's a new beginning.
It's just that new start
The difficulty faced is just the start of something new.
She sang about Elvis she sang about time
Gillian sings about Elvis, time, and Miss Ohio in her song.
Gillian sang about Miss Ohio and
A reference to the themes in Gillian's song.
That last remaining song
Emphasizing the significance of the last remaining song.
I stretch my rigid fingers i clear my throat
The speaker physically prepares for something challenging.
This will be all over soon
An anticipation that the difficult moment will pass soon.
Now this is long ago
Reflecting on the past, the speaker recalls Gillian's song.
I listen to her and I go back
The speaker reminisces and is transported back by Gillian's music.
To that day that month – that year
Specific references to the time when Gillian played the song.
That day will never leave my mind
A memorable day that remains vivid in the speaker's mind.
Gillian played me a song
Repetition of the earlier instance of Gillian playing a song.
Gillian played me a song
Reiteration of Gillian playing a song.
It was that day when everything was wrong
A reminder of the challenging day when Gillian played the song.
Gillian singing in my heart – in my ears
Gillian's singing continues to resonate in the speaker's heart and ears.
And tears running down
Tears continue to flow as the speaker faces down.
I was facing the ground
The speaker is still in a state of emotional introspection.
