No One There
Solitude Echoes: A Melancholic Journey Through Unspoken Words
Lyrics
Here I am; walking slow, walking here on my own
The singer feels alone and isolated while reminiscing.
Nobody beside me and nobody to say “don’t go”
There’s no one offering advice or guidance.
Think of you, think of us and think of where we could have gone
Reflecting on the possibilities of the past relationship.
Think of all the times that we chose to do things wrong
Regret over past mistakes and poor choices.
And there’s no one there to say “hello”
There’s an absence of greetings or welcoming interactions.
And there’s no one there to say “don’t go”
No one present to prevent departure.
The times we shared make me smile, think about them for a while
Fond memories bring brief happiness.
Laugh at you, laugh at me; silly dreams of what could be
Laughing at the unrealistic dreams of a relationship.
We might hold hands or pass a look, I would smile; you’d have me hooked
Recalling small intimate moments that held significance.
You’d tell me that I’d be the hero, when you write your book
A promise of being a heroic figure in the other’s story.
And there’s no one there to say “hello”
Continued absence of greetings or acknowledgment.
And there’s no one there to say “don’t go”
No one to stop the departure, repeated emphasis.
”don’t go”
Reiteration of the plea or desire not to leave.
Here I am; walking slow, walking here on my own
A repetition highlighting the singer’s solitude.
Nobody beside me and nobody to say “don’t go”
Emphasizing the lack of discouragement to stay.
Think of you, think of us; think of where we could have gone
Revisiting thoughts on what might have been.
Think of all the times that we chose to do things wrong
Recurring regret for past decisions.
And there’s no one there to say “hello”
No one there to welcome or greet again.
And there’s no one there to say “don’t go”
Continued absence of any deterrent to leaving.
”don’t go”
Reiterated plea or desire not to depart.
