What Now My Love
Journey Through Heartbreak: What Now My Love
Lyrics
What now my love, now that you've left me
Expressing the question of what to do after a loved one has departed.
How can I live through another day
Reflecting on the challenge of facing another day without the presence of the loved one.
Watching my dreams turn to ashes
Describing the emotional pain of witnessing one's dreams disintegrate.
And my hopes turn to bits of clay
Conveying the sense of despair as hopes shatter like pieces of clay.
Once I could see, once I could feel
Recalling a time when the speaker could perceive and experience emotions.
Now I am numb, I've become unreal
Indicating a current emotional numbness and a feeling of unreality.
I walk the night, without a goal
Describing aimless wandering through the night without a clear purpose.
Stripped of my heart and my soul
Expressing a sense of emptiness, having been deprived of heart and soul.
What now my love, now that it's over
Pondering the situation now that the love has ended.
I feel the world falling all around me
Feeling the world collapsing and disintegrating after the end of the relationship.
Here come the stars, tumbling around me
Observing the symbolic arrival of stars, possibly representing a sense of chaos and confusion.
There's the sky, where that sea should be
Noting the absence of the sea in the sky, suggesting a disorienting and unfamiliar reality.
What now my love, now that you're gone
Reflecting on the challenges of moving forward after the departure of the loved one.
I'd be a fool to go on and on
Acknowledging the difficulty of continuing without succumbing to foolish persistence.
No one would care, no one would cry
Recognizing that no one would notice or mourn if the speaker were to continue suffering.
If I should live if I should live or die
Contemplating the indifference of others to the speaker's potential life or death.
What now my love, now there is nothing
Conveying a sense of emptiness and a lack of purpose now that the love is gone.
Only my last, my last good-bye
Expressing a final farewell, emphasizing the absence of anything except the speaker's goodbye.
