Sunset Boulevard
Lost in Sunset's Embrace: A Tale of Love and Longing
Lyrics
I'm far over my head
I feel overwhelmed or out of my depth.
Your make-up stained my bed
Your makeup has left a mark on my bed, symbolizing a lingering impact.
I don't really know how to deal with this
I'm unsure how to cope with the situation at hand.
A table set for two
Preparation for a romantic dinner for two.
Two plates for me and you
Setting for both of us, but it turned into one after you left for overseas.
But two turned to one when you had left for overseas
Loneliness and the impact of separation.
Take my breath right out of my own lungs
Your departure leaves me breathless and abandoned.
And leave me stranded
Feeling isolated and deserted.
Take me down to sunset boulevard
Desire to revisit a place of significant memories, Sunset Boulevard.
Where we sparked and set a forest fire miles and miles apart
Recollection of a passionate moment that ignited intense emotions.
Where the tales and novels are complicated babe
Referencing the complex nature of stories and relationships.
And in a way, far away, we'll be okay
A distant hope that things will be okay in a unique way.
You swore you never left
An assertion that promises were made not to leave.
(But you left me a wreck)
Expressing the emotional wreckage left behind.
I'm hanging by a thread
Feeling extremely fragile or vulnerable.
(A noose around my neck)
A metaphorical noose indicating a sense of suffocation or despair.
I don't really know how to deal with this
Reiteration of the difficulty in coping with the situation.
Will you ever come home where you belong right by my side
Longing for a return to the relationship and companionship.
Or did you lie right out of your lungs
Doubt about the sincerity of promises made.
And leave me stranded
Repeating the theme of feeling abandoned and stranded.
Take me down to sunset boulevard
Yearning to revisit a place of shared memories.
Where we sparked and set a forest fire miles and miles apart
Recalling a moment that had a profound impact, even over a distance.
Where the tales and novels are complicated babe
Reiterating the complexity of stories and relationships.
And in a way, far away, we'll be okay
Hopeful anticipation that, in some way, things will be okay.
Do you even care if I'm okay
Questioning the concern for well-being from the absent partner.
Now my name was on my necklace
Symbolic representation of personal identity on a necklace.
Now my name just fills a checklist
Reduced significance of personal identity to a mere checklist item.
Of the people who you once kissed
Reflection on past romantic encounters that now seem trivial.
Now I'm afraid
Feelings of fear and insecurity.
Take my breath right out of your lungs
Reversal of roles, now the partner takes the breath away and leaves.
And leave me stranded
Reiteration of the feeling of abandonment.
