Someday Soon
Ephemeral Love Echoes: Someday Soon by Basia Bulat
Lyrics
Oh, calm hourglass
Expressing a sense of peaceful passage of time, likened to an hourglass.
Night still overcast
Describing a night with lingering clouds or uncertainty.
This love cannot last
Acknowledging the impermanence of the current love.
Even if your will has
Suggesting that even with strong determination, the love is destined to end.
Will you think of me?
Pondering if the other person will remember the speaker.
Falling from your mind
Wondering if memories of the speaker will fade from the other person's thoughts.
Were you ever mine?
Raising the question of whether there was ever a genuine connection.
Did you think to ask?
Asking if the other person considered the depth of the relationship.
If I'll be gone
Anticipating the speaker's departure at some point in the future.
Someday
Reiterating the idea of leaving someday.
Someday soon, someday
Emphasizing the imminent nature of the departure.
Soon
Repetition for emphasis, signaling the approaching separation.
I'll be gone
Stating the certainty of the speaker's departure.
I'll be gone
Repeating the assertion of leaving.
Someday
Restating the inevitability of departure.
Someday soon, someday
Underlining the soon-to-come nature of the separation.
Someday soon
Emphasizing the proximity of the departure.
Will you think of me?
Repeating the question of being remembered by the other person.
Falling from your mind
Asking if memories will persist despite the passing of time.
Still there in the night
Highlighting the enduring presence of memories in the night.
Still there when you ask
Suggesting the memories will linger when directly questioned.
If we'll be gone
Expanding the theme to encompass both individuals, pondering joint departure.
We'll be gone
Affirming the mutual aspect of the eventual separation.
Someday
Reiterating the certainty of a joint departure in the future.
Someday soon, someday
Emphasizing the imminent nature of the shared departure.
Soon
Repeating the emphasis on the soon-to-come aspect of the separation.
We'll be gone
Restating the joint departure, reinforcing inevitability.
We'll be gone
Affirming the mutual aspect of the separation, adding emphasis.
Someday
Reiterating the certainty of a joint departure in the future.
Someday soon, someday
Emphasizing the soon-to-come nature of the shared departure.
Someday soon, someday
Repeating the theme for added impact and emotional weight.
Someday soon, someday
Continuing the repetition to emphasize the inevitability of separation.
Someday soon
Stating the eventual departure with a focus on the proximity of the event.
Someday soon
Reiterating the idea of leaving soon, building emotional resonance.
Someday soon
Continuing the repetition for emphasis, reinforcing the impending separation.
Someday soon
Concluding with a final declaration of the soon-to-come departure.
