Stop Speaking
Eternal Yearning: Autosuggest's Melodic Reflections on Distance and Freedom
Lyrics
Here we go again
Expressing a sense of repetition or familiarity with a situation
But the lights are out and now
Despite the challenging circumstances (lights out), communication is possible
We can talk
Emphasizing the opportunity to talk
No matter where you are
Assuring that communication is not restricted by physical distance
No matter where I stay
Indicating a commitment to waiting regardless of the speaker's location
I'll be
Leaving an open-ended statement that continues in the following lines
Waiting for you
Expressing a commitment to wait for the other person
Nothing's been
Stating that nothing has changed
Temperature's at ease
Describing a calm or comfortable state
No-one can see
Highlighting the privacy of the situation, hidden from others
How we walked
Reflecting on the shared experience of walking together
Your words like skin peel away
Comparing words to skin, suggesting vulnerability or exposure
I know that I can't stay
Acknowledging an awareness that staying is not an option
I know that we are foreign and far
Recognizing a sense of foreignness and distance in the relationship
The ways they took you
Referring to the ways (actions or paths) that influenced the person
And they respect you
Acknowledging respect from others, but with potential negative consequences
Enough to drown you with a smile
Describing a situation where respect may lead to harm or suffocation
I escaped, I did
Claiming an escape from a challenging situation
And you have no idea how it feels
Expressing the difficulty of understanding the emotional impact of the escape
Here we go again
Reiterating a sense of repetition or revisiting a situation
But the lights are out and now
Despite challenges, there is a feeling of warmth
You feel warm
Describing a positive emotional state
There's a fear that grips me
Expressing a fear that has a gripping and paralyzing effect
Pulls me to my knees and won't let go
Describing the intense impact of fear, pulling the speaker down
But I can rise
Asserting the ability to overcome the gripping fear and rise
Rise
Repeatedly emphasizing the act of rising and becoming known
Rise
-Rise
-And be known
