Four Walls
Yearning Echoes: Embracing Solitude Amid Longing
Lyrics
Out where the bright lights are glowing
Expressing the allure of bright lights in a distant place.
You're drawn like a moth to a flame
Describing the irresistible attraction, like a moth drawn to a flame.
You laugh while the wine's overflowing
Noting the joy and abundance of laughter during the presence of wine.
While I sit and whisper your name
Contrasting the merriment with a more subdued, reflective moment of whispering the absent person's name.
Four walls to hear me
Reflecting on being confined within four walls.
Four walls to see
Highlighting the sensory deprivation within the enclosed space.
Four walls too near me
Emphasizing the closeness and confinement of the four walls.
Closing in on me
Expressing a sense of suffocation as the walls close in.
Sometimes I ask why I'm waiting
Pondering the purpose of waiting, perhaps for a loved one.
But my walls have nothing to say
Indicating the silence of the walls, unable to provide answers.
I'm made for love not for hating
Affirming a disposition towards love rather than hatred.
So here where you left me I'll stay
Resigned acceptance of being left behind in the specified place.
One night with you is like heaven
Describing the profound joy experienced in the company of the person.
And so while I'm walking the floor
Expressing restlessness while awaiting the person, pacing the floor.
I listen for steps in the hallway
Anticipating the return, listening keenly for approaching footsteps.
And wait for your knock on my door.
Waiting eagerly for the person to knock on the door.
Four walls to hear me
Reiterating the isolation within four walls.
Four walls to see
Reemphasizing the sensory deprivation within the enclosed space.
Four walls too near me
Underlining the oppressive closeness and confinement of the walls.
Closing in on me
Reiterating the feeling of suffocation as the walls close in.
closing in on me.
Reemphasizing the intensifying sense of confinement.
