Regrets
Echoes of Love Lost: Anthony Phillips' Melancholic Journey
Lyrics
Regrets, yes I have many,
Expressing the presence of numerous regrets
But none so great as spurning your love.
Regretting a significant mistake of rejecting love
For how sweet, how sweet your love would be
Reflecting on the sweetness and value of the rejected love
As fierce as fire, as tender as dew.
Describing the nature of the love as both intense and gentle
So let the rain fall
Acceptance of challenges or hardships symbolized by rain
Crashing on me
Embracing difficulties
And blind my eyes
Being emotionally affected or blinded by challenges
For the love I can't feel.
Expressing the inability to feel the love
Take a sound, don't you wait, don't be hurried
Encouraging action without delay or hesitation
Make a sign, don't be late, don't you worry now.
Advising against procrastination or worry
Sometimes, I would have you close to me
Expressing a desire for closeness and shared experiences
And take the path that leads to the sea.
Choosing a path together, possibly symbolic of a life journey
In the dark our eyes would meet at last
Imagining a meeting in the darkness, suggesting intimacy
And on your lips, the words I must flee.
Acknowledging the difficulty of expressing forbidden words
So let the rain fall
Reiterating acceptance of challenges and hardships
Crashing on me
Embracing difficulties once again
And blind my eyes
Experiencing emotional blindness due to unattained love
For the love I can't feel.
Expressing the inability to feel the love, repeated sentiment
Take a sound, don't you wait, don't be hurried
Encouraging prompt and decisive action
Make a sign, don't be late, don't you worry now.
Reiterating advice against delay and worry
So let the rain fall
Repeating the acceptance of challenges and hardships
Crashing on me
Embracing difficulties once more, repetition for emphasis
And blind my eyes
Reiterating emotional blindness due to unattained love
For the love I can't feel.
Expressing the inability to feel the love, repeated sentiment
Pulling out while the doubts loom above me
Withdrawing while facing uncertainties or insecurities
Shouting out in the dark for you to love me
Calling out for love in a challenging or dark situation
Cutting life from the hopes of an outstretched hand
Experiencing the cutting of hope and possibilities
Regrets, our secret cemeteries,
Describing regrets as secret burial grounds for love and loss
Where loves and loss are silently lain,
Highlighting the silent resting place of love and regrets
The dream is fading faster now,
Acknowledging the fading of a dream or hope
And soon you'll skip beyond my recall.
Anticipating the fading of memories and the inability to recall
