Journey of Love and Loss: Little Red House by Anna Justen
Lyrics
Little red house
Refers to a small red-colored house
She sat, and watched
A woman sat and observed
Tripping over windows
Refers to stumbling or struggling with the windows
That he smashed, the glass
Refers to someone breaking the windows
Landed on her pillow
Glass from broken windows fell onto her pillow
Cases are turning yellow
Refers to the deterioration of cases, possibly indicating age
Faces on, painted mellow
Depicts painted faces with a calm or subdued expression
Traces on bodies hollow
Implies marks or imprints on empty or shallow individuals
And I waited
Waiting for something to happen
Yesterday came, I went
A past event - yesterday occurred, and the speaker left
And I faded
Feeling of disappearing or losing significance
Catching the rain, I wept
Crying while experiencing the rain
To you, we ride
Heading towards a destination with someone else
We ride
Repeated emphasis on the journey or ride
We ride
-We ride
-Dirty green car
Describes a car colored dirty green
It sat, untouched
The car remained untouched or unused
Waiting for its sailor
Waiting for the owner or sailor of the car to return
To come back, it asks
The car wonders how it can improve
What it can do better
Concern about future outcomes or luck
Luck next time, worried whether
Expresses worry about discovering unfamiliar things
Or not you'll find, things you'd never
Feeling of mental decline or fading
Oh my mind seems paler
Emphasizes a paler state of mind or thoughts
And I waited
Repetition of waiting for something to happen
Yesterday came, I went
A repetition of the past event - yesterday occurred, and the speaker left
And I faded
Continued feeling of disappearing or losing significance
Catching the rain, I wept
Continued crying while experiencing the rain
To you, we ride
Heading towards a destination with someone else (repeated)
We ride
Repeated emphasis on the journey or ride (repeated)
We ride
-We ride
