Set Adrift on Memory Bliss
Drifting Through Memories: A Melancholic Reflection
Lyrics
The candle plays the hourglass
The passage of time is symbolized by the candle in an hourglass.
The days go and all I do is
Days pass, and the speaker's thoughts are consumed by memories of someone.
Think of you and wonder where you are at night
The speaker wonders about the whereabouts of the person during the night.
Oh I remember everything
Nostalgia takes hold, and the speaker recalls every detail.
Every smile, and even all
Recollection includes smiles and reasons for the relationship's end.
The reasons why you say
Reflecting on the reasons provided for ending the relationship.
I pushed you out of my life
The speaker acknowledges pushing the person out of their life.
Baby you set me
The person has left a lasting impact, causing the speaker to feel adrift in memories.
Baby you set me
-Set adrift on memory's bliss of you
-Baby you set me
-Set adrift on memory's bliss of you
-Destiny is everything
Emphasizing the significance of destiny in the context of the relationship.
Reality's replaced you with
Reality has replaced the person with a profound sense of emptiness.
The biggest empty void I've ever had in life (ever had in life) ohh
Expressing the depth of the void left by the absence of the person.
Bet you say that I don't care
Anticipating the assumption that the speaker doesn't care.
I bet you say that I don't even think of you
Expectation that the speaker is perceived as not thinking about the person.
But God knows how wrong you are
Contrasting with the assumption, the speaker acknowledges how wrong it is.
Baby will you be there when the morning comes?
Questioning if the person will be there in the future, expressing a desire for reconciliation.
(Baby will you be there?)
-Just give me time (just give me time)
-To fix my life (to fix my life, baby)
-Baby will you be there when I open my eyes?
-After all the time I've spent, wishing you
-Baby you set me
Reiteration of the impact on memory and the sense of being adrift.
Baby you set me
-Set adrift on memory's bliss of you
-Baby you set me
-Set adrift on memory's bliss of you
-Sadness that overwhelmed me
Feeling overwhelmed by sadness.
My mind flies and carelessly
The mind imagines the person being happy in their current life.
Imagines that you're happy with your life right now oh
Acceptance of the current situation and the person's happiness.
I guess that's just the way it goes
Recognizing that things don't always go as planned.
Forever's gone so now I must
Forever is gone, and the speaker must place the person in the past.
Place you with all the things that I can never have
Acceptance that certain things are unattainable.
Baby you set me
Reiteration of the impact on memory and the sense of being adrift.
Baby you set me
-Set adrift on memory's bliss of you
-So come on now
Encouraging the person to come forward, expressing a truth the speaker knows.
I know this much is true
-I know this much is true
Reaffirmation of a known truth about the situation.
