The Absence
Echoes of Deception: Another White Lie's Melancholic Tale
Lyrics
Old times another white lie
Reflecting on past deceitful actions, symbolized by "another white lie."
Just to see you through
Deception was employed to support or assist someone.
More tears, I'm drowning here
Expressing intense emotions, possibly sorrow, and feeling overwhelmed by tears.
I'll keep an eye on you
Committing to keeping a vigilant watch over someone.
The bell tolls for the other souls, in this town hall
Referencing a significant event or change affecting many individuals in a community.
No one ever really wins the fight
Highlighting the idea that no one truly emerges victorious in life's struggles.
It's still my fault
Admitting personal responsibility despite external factors.
And in the absence of wedding bells
Exploring the absence of joy or celebration associated with weddings.
there's only time
Emphasizing the presence of time as the only constant.
To through your fortune down a wishing well, wasting mine
Suggesting a tendency to squander opportunities, comparing it to tossing fortunes into a wishing well.
The sky in the summer time is the colour of a bruise
Depicting a melancholic sky during summer, possibly mirroring emotional bruises.
Doesn't matter what you wear tonight
Conveying that external appearances don't matter in the grand scheme of things.
Either way you lose
Regardless of choices, there's an inevitable sense of loss.
Worry worry, honey, I'm so sorry I lied to you
An apology for deception, expressing remorse.
Hurry now your window's closing in on you
Encouraging urgency, as time is running out.
And in the absence of wedding bells
Revisiting the theme of joyless moments associated with weddings.
there's only time
Reiterating the constant influence of time in the absence of celebratory events.
To through your fortune down a wishing well, wasting mine
Linking the wasting of time to throwing away personal opportunities.
And I've got secrets that she'll never tell
Implying hidden truths that remain undisclosed by another person.
A broken crystal on a creaking shelf
Describing a fragile and damaged personal aspect, symbolized by a broken crystal on a creaking shelf.
And it's not over far as I can tell
Suggesting that despite difficulties, the situation is not irreparable.
I know I stumbled but I never fell, and I never will.
Affirming resilience and determination to persevere without succumbing to failure.
Yeah, I never will
Reiterating the commitment to resilience and the avoidance of failure.
And in the absence of wedding bells there's only time
Returning to the theme of joyless moments associated with weddings, emphasizing the persistent influence of time.
To through your fortune down a wishing well, wasting mine
Emphasizing the repetition of squandering opportunities and time.
And I've got secrets that she'll never tell
Repeating the idea of undisclosed secrets held by another person.
A broken crystal on a creaking shelf
Reiterating the fragile and damaged personal aspect, symbolized by a broken crystal on a creaking shelf.
And it's not over far as I can tell
Asserting that challenges persist but are not insurmountable.
I know I stumbled but I never fell, and I never will
Affirming resilience and a commitment to avoiding complete failure.
