Lost Connections: Unanswered Calls and Fading Memories in 'Pale Blue'
Lyrics
I got a missed call from this number
Received a missed call from an unknown number
But I thought you'd blocked me a long time ago
Assumed that the caller had previously blocked the speaker
I used to see you every alternating Wednesday
Previously met regularly on specific Wednesdays
But now you're not so predictable
Now the person's behavior is less consistent or predictable
Me and your friends are on a first-name basis
The speaker is acquainted with the caller's friends
But come to think of it they don't know what my name is
Caller's friends are unfamiliar with the speaker's name
But I know I wasted time with you
Regrets investing time in the past with the caller
But I'd rather keep dreaming of when you were mine
Prefer reminiscing about a past when the caller was with them
There's nothing left between us
There's no emotional connection or relationship left
Boy, you've got me wondering why I'm asking such stupid questions
Questioning why the speaker is bothering with inquiries
Boy, you've got me fighting with myself over your attention
Internal conflict about seeking the caller's attention
And now I only see you with my eyes closed
Only able to imagine seeing the caller in dreams
I can't remember how this used to go
Forgetting how the relationship used to function
You used to tell me that you'd always be here
Caller used to promise perpetual presence, but that's not true
But I look around and you're gone
Realizing the caller is no longer around despite assurances
Boy, you've got me wondering why I'm asking such stupid questions
Reiterating the confusion over questioning the situation
Boy, you've got me fighting with myself over your attention
Continuing internal struggle for the caller's attention
Boy, you've got me wondering why I'm asking such stupid questions
Repetition of pondering why the speaker is asking questions
Boy, you've got me fighting with myself over your attention
Repeatedly conflicted over seeking the caller's attention
But I can't help but wonder why you called
Curiosity about the reason behind the caller's recent call
I can't help but wonder why you called me
Reiterating curiosity about the caller's recent call to the speaker
I can't help but wonder why you called
Continued curiosity about the recent call received
I can't help but wonder what it could've been
Speculating on what the recent call might have meant or led to
Yeah
