Sunlight
Fading Sunlight: A Heartfelt Journey of Goodbyes and Complicated Emotions
Lyrics
I tried running away
The speaker attempted to escape or avoid something.
You've seen it in my face
Others have noticed the speaker's emotions or intentions just by looking at their face.
There's not much more I can take
The speaker feels they've reached their limit and can't endure more.
And even when I fade
Even when the speaker tries to disappear or diminish, someone or something obstructs their path.
You're always in my way
Despite fading away, the presence of someone continues to impede the speaker.
Cuz even in my dreams
The person continues to haunt the speaker's subconscious, appearing in dreams.
I hear you call my name
The person's voice or call is heard even in the speaker's dreams.
The sunlight on my face don't feel the same anymore
The sensation of sunlight on the speaker's face used to be comforting but now feels different, less pleasant.
I'm so out of place
The speaker feels misplaced or out of sync with their surroundings.
You're so far away, you're so far away
The person the speaker desires or misses is physically distant.
I know you told me
The person communicated they wouldn't address the speaker unless in extreme circumstances.
You'd never say my name
Reiteration of the person's refusal to say the speaker's name except in a dire situation.
Unless it's over my grave
Reference to the person mentioning speaking the speaker's name only after their death.
But if it's all the same, no
The speaker wishes for an exception to this rule and desires the person to say their name once more.
Just say it one time
Requesting the person to bid farewell with the utterance of the speaker's name.
We'll call this goodbye
The speaker proposes to consider this moment as the final goodbye.
And everything will be just fine
Belief that after the farewell, things will improve or resolve.
I can't find another way
The speaker cannot find an alternative solution or path.
It's so complicated, I'm always anxious
The speaker's situation is complex and consistently causes anxiety.
I'm falling down
The speaker feels like they are collapsing or failing.
You said it but I already know
The person mentioned a situation or outcome previously, and the speaker is already aware of it.
We're never going back
The past situation cannot be reverted or revisited.
But I've got nowhere to go
The speaker feels lost with no direction to move towards.
Feels like a heart attack
The emotional distress feels as intense as a heart attack.
I'm sorry that I'm always so cold
Apology for the speaker's emotional distance or cold behavior.
I know you really tried to help me
Acknowledgment of the person's efforts to assist despite the situation remaining the same.
But it's all the same story
The recurring pattern of the situation and its outcome remains unchanged.
The sunlight on my face don't feel the same anymore
Reiteration of the altered feeling towards sunlight on the speaker's face.
I'm so out of place
Continued sense of displacement or being out of sync.
You're so far away, you're so far away
Reiteration of the physical distance between the speaker and the desired person.
I know you told me
Recollection of the person's commitment to not say the speaker's name except in extreme circumstances.
You'd never say my name
Reiteration of the condition set by the person regarding speaking the speaker's name after their death.
Unless it's over my grave
Reiteration of the person's reluctance to address the speaker except in grave situations.
But if it's all the same, no
Desire for an exception to the person's rule about saying the speaker's name.
Just say it one time
Request for the person to bid farewell by saying the speaker's name.
We'll call this goodbye
Suggesting that bidding farewell with the utterance of the speaker's name will resolve things.
And everything will be just fine
Belief that after the farewell, everything will be fine.
