Stagnant Years: A Melodic Journey Through Love, Loss, and Longing
Lyrics
Cling to every detail, burn it in my mind
Clinging onto every detail and deeply engraving them in my memory.
Laughter, excitement, the way that you'd smile
Remembering moments of joy, excitement, and your specific smiling expression.
Cause feelings can't be memorised
Emphasizing that emotions cannot be simply memorized or recalled.
People you lose along the way
Referring to the people who have been lost or left behind during life's journey.
These are the times we'll never relive
Recognizing that certain moments in life cannot be experienced again.
But i'm still stuck living in the past 'cause i haven't got enough future to give
Feeling trapped in the past due to a lack of a promising future.
And i wish i could tell you, i was stagnant for far too many years
Expressing a desire to convey being stuck and unchanging for a significant period.
I wish you knew that you are always there to calm those fears
Acknowledging the supportive presence of someone in alleviating fears.
And i wish i could explain how pointless everybody else seems
Feeling that others are insignificant compared to the person being loved.
'Cause when i'm loving you, somebody listens to me
Feeling heard and understood when expressing love towards someone.
Spiral of the melody sings a different song
Describing a different tune or feeling in the melody that symbolizes change.
When promises you made of right slowly turn to wrong
Noticing promises made that have gradually turned out to be untrue or deceptive.
Try to cling to you every way
Attempting to hold on to someone in various ways.
But hopeless longing can't make you stay
Realizing that yearning alone cannot make someone stay.
And i wish i could tell you, i was stagnant for far too many years
Reiterating a sense of personal stagnation over many years.
I wish you knew that you were always there to calm those fears
Recognizing the constant support provided by someone in calming fears.
And i wish i could explain how pointless everybody else seemed
Feeling that others seem insignificant compared to the loved person.
'Cause when i loved you, somebody listened to me
Feeling heard and understood when expressing love towards someone.
You made me want to start writing again
Finding inspiration to start writing again because of the person.
And you were the angel singing songs in my head
Considering the person as an inspirational and comforting presence.
But i can't live a lie knowing you're never coming back
Realizing the difficulty of living a falsehood knowing the person won't return.
When every single memory gives me reason to attack
Experiencing emotional turmoil triggered by memories of the person.
The chill of the night when we looked to the light realising we might be free
Remembering a moment of potential freedom illuminated in the night.
The wake of the day, i was turning your way but you weren't looking at me
Feeling unnoticed or unreciprocated despite seeking attention from the person.
Rose coloured glasses, that green and white jacket, thoughts that could never be
Recalling specific details or items associated with the person.
You're turning away, now it's too late to say
Realizing it's too late to express certain feelings or thoughts to the person.
I wish that you could see
Wishing for the person to understand or perceive certain feelings.
That i cling to every detail, burn it in my mind
Continuing to deeply engrave every detail and emotion into memory.
Laughter, excitement, the way that you'd smile
Recalling moments of joy, excitement, and the person's smiling expression.
Cause feelings can't be memorised
Reiterating that emotions cannot be simply memorized or recalled.
People you lose along the way
Referring again to people lost or left behind during life's journey.
These are the times we'll never relive
Acknowledging moments that cannot be relived or experienced again.
But i'm still stuck living in the past 'cause you took my future
Feeling stuck in the past due to the absence of a promising future caused by the person.
And i wish i could tell you, i was stagnant for far too many years
Expressing a sense of personal stagnation and lack of progress over many years.
I wish you knew that you are always there to calm those fears
Acknowledging the consistent support received in calming fears from the person.
And i wish i could explain how pointless everything seems
Feeling that everything else seems insignificant due to the depth of love for the person.
Because i loved you, but i don't think you believed me
Expressing love for the person but feeling unsure if they believed it.
I don't think you believed me
Repeating uncertainty about the person's belief in the expressed love.
I don't think you believed me
