Unattended
Heartbreak Echoes: Unattended Dreams and Lonely Screams
Lyrics
So then go
Encouraging the person to leave
You know time ain't moving slow
Highlighting the fast-paced nature of time
And so far it's breaking me even - you're leaving
Expressing emotional impact of a relationship ending
And it shows, I didn't mean to know
Acknowledging unintentional knowledge of the situation
You're broken, with reason, I'm sleeping and dealing
Describing emotional and physical distress
With your toe nails clipped out in the back seat
Visual imagery of intimate moments in the car
Perfume stuck in my sheets - and I scream
Symbolizing lingering presence with perfume
Just need to hold you close and I can't
Expressing a strong desire to be close
Stand it when you're unattended,
Expressing discomfort when the person is unattended
Left alone in my dreams,
Feeling abandoned in dreams
It hurts me, so lonely
Conveying emotional pain and loneliness
I'm going out of my head
Feeling overwhelmed and distressed
Cause I know it's a bit brighter there instead
Desiring a brighter alternative
Letting go felt so low
Regretting the act of letting go
Cause I know
Reaffirming awareness of the situation
And every word that you said
Reflecting on regret over spoken words
I shoulda kept my mouth shut and played dead
Regretting not remaining silent
Now I know, there's no hope
Realizing the absence of hope
Guess I'm used to being alone
Acceptance of being accustomed to solitude
And at home
Referencing loneliness at home
Spending hours on the phone
Longing for the person's disappearance
With hopes that you'll vanish and break this
Describing a spellbinding emotional connection
Enchantment on my own
Acknowledging personal enchantment
Where time only shows
Emphasizing the passage of time
It's ok to leave it, uneven, hearts beating to
Acceptance of an uneven relationship
Your toe nails clipped out in the back seat
Repetition of intimate car imagery
Perfume stuck in my sheets - and I scream
Reiteration of lingering presence
Just need to hold you close and I can't
Expressing the inability to be apart
Stand it when you're unattended,
Reiterating discomfort when unattended
Left alone in my dreams,
Feeling abandoned in dreams, repeated
It hurts me, so lonely
Repeating emotional pain and loneliness
I'm going out of my head
Reiteration of feeling overwhelmed
Cause I know it's a bit brighter there instead
Reiterating the desire for a brighter alternative
Letting go felt so low
Repeating regret over letting go
Cause I know
Reiterating awareness of the situation
And every word that you said
Reiterating regret over spoken words
I shoulda kept my mouth shut and played dead
Repeating regret over not remaining silent
Now I know, there's no hope
Reiterating the absence of hope
Guess I'm used to being alone
Repeating acceptance of being accustomed to solitude
Guess I'm used to being alone
Final acknowledgment of familiarity with loneliness
