See You Soon
Echoes of Love Lost: Arlo Matthews' Emotional Journey
Lyrics
When I broke down
Feeling emotionally overwhelmed or experiencing a breakdown
No one was there for me
Experiencing a lack of support from others
They all left town
People have departed, likely pursuing their own aspirations
And went off to chase their dreams
Others have left to pursue their dreams
Even you, well you made me cry
The person being addressed caused emotional pain
I still had my ties, I made up a lie
Despite the hurt, maintaining connections through deception
After you said you had to fly away
Reference to the person leaving, causing emotional strain
Oh you know I could be there now
Expressing the desire to be present for the addressed person
Like I was with you then
Recalling a past connection with the addressed individual
I'll see you soon
Anticipation of meeting the person again in the future
I just don't know when
Uncertainty about the timing of the future meeting
I could still turn the page
Considering moving forward from the current situation
Scribble over these lines
Symbolically wanting to erase or change past experiences
Knowing I'd see you soon
Hopeful anticipation of a future reunion
At another time
Belief in the possibility of meeting again in a different time or context
When you spoke to me
Referencing a past interaction where eye contact was avoided
I couldn't meet your eyes
Doubting the possibility of a final meeting
There's no way it could be
Expressing an inability to retain the person or relationship
For the very last time
Feeling like something precious that slipped away
I was the faded gold that you just couldn't hold
Feeling devalued or not good enough for the person
Keep thinking you'll call, say take me out of the cold
Hoping for communication or rescue from a difficult situation
I'd carry you away like in stories of old
Willingness to provide support and care like in old tales
Oh you know I could be there now
Reiterating the desire to be present for the addressed person
Like I was with you then
Recalling a past connection with the addressed individual
I'll see you soon
Anticipation of meeting the person again in the future
I just don't know when
Uncertainty about the timing of the future meeting
I could still turn the page
Considering moving forward from the current situation
Scribble over these lines
Symbolically wanting to erase or change past experiences
Knowing I'd see you soon
Hopeful anticipation of a future reunion
At another time
Belief in the possibility of meeting again in a different time or context
Ooooh da da da da da da
Melodic expression, not conveying specific words
Da da da da da da
-Ah na na na
-Ooooh da da da da da da
-Da da da da da da
-Ah na na na
-I could still turn the page
Considering moving forward from the current situation
Scribble over these lines
Symbolically wanting to erase or change past experiences
Knowing I'd see you soon
Hopeful anticipation of a future reunion
At another time
Belief in the possibility of meeting again in a different time or context
