When Someone Doesn't Want You
Navigating Unrequited Love: Art Garfunkel's Poetic Reflection
Lyrics
She doesn't want me, she doesn't care,
Expressing the feeling of being unwanted and uncared for by someone.
I've tried so hard to let her know, but she doesn't see me there.
Despite efforts to communicate, the person feels unnoticed or overlooked.
What else can I do when someone doesn't want you?
Pondering the helplessness of the situation when someone doesn't reciprocate feelings.
The picture's painted, I've been denied,
Describing a sense of rejection and exclusion, symbolized by a denied painting.
The artist couldn't fit me in, there wasn't room for me inside.
Feeling marginalized, as if there is no space for the person in the other's life.
What else can I do when someone doesn't want you?
Reiterating the frustration of not being wanted by someone.
When the day is over, the stars are in the sky,
Anticipating the end of the day and the impending farewell.
I'll be going, I know that this is good-bye.
Accepting the reality of parting ways, acknowledging that it's time to say goodbye.
No tears will ever take her place,
Rejecting the idea that tears can replace the person who is not interested.
They'll disappear, but will the memory linger on
Questioning whether the memories will persist after the pain fades away.
After the pain is gone?
Reflecting on the potential longevity of emotional scars.
On a river, in my boat,
Using the metaphor of a river and boat to symbolize navigating through emotional turbulence.
I'll save this sinking heart of mine,
Expressing determination to save oneself from emotional sinking.
Somehow I will stay afloat.
Affirming the intention to stay emotionally resilient despite challenges.
What else can I do when someone doesn't want you?
Repeating the sentiment of helplessness when someone doesn't reciprocate feelings.
When someone doesn't want you, when someone doesn't want you,
Re-emphasizing the central theme of not being wanted by someone.
(When that someone
(Repetition of the idea that someone doesn't want you.)
When she doesn't want you.)
(Reiteration of the notion that she doesn't want you.)
When someone doesn't want you,
(Repetition of the theme of not being wanted by someone.)
(When that someone
(Reiteration of the idea that she doesn't want you.)
When she doesn't want you.)
(Repetition of the theme of not being wanted by someone.)
When someone doesn't want you.
Concluding the song with a final affirmation of not being wanted by someone.
