Saturn
Exploring Existential Yearning Through "Saturn" by Bobby Nair
Lyrics
And I say to you, where have you been?
Asking where the person has been
All of my life, looking for a friend
Expressing a lifelong search for a friend
Been around a year, since I've been around the bend
Referring to a year passing since a difficult situation
Is there anyone who sees me, like they all did then?
Questioning if anyone sees the speaker as they used to be seen
I'm going back to Saturn, never coming back again
Deciding to retreat emotionally, not returning
It breaks my heart every time, why don't you send… for me
Expressing emotional pain and longing for someone to reach out
Is it real? Have I been living by a pen?
Questioning if life has been lived authentically
Can't go back to you now, can't go back ever again
Feeling unable to reconnect with the past
It'll be different
Expecting change or hoping for a different outcome
The second, the third time around
Believing subsequent attempts might differ
Don't wanna hear it
Refusing to listen to something undesirable
The vacuum, it has no sound
Comparing the emptiness to silence
Looking for something different 'cause I wanna love some more
Seeking something new to experience more love
I haven't quite given up yet but I've been close, for sure
Admitting to almost giving up but not quite
Did you feel sorry? You said you did
Questioning if the other person felt remorse
Everyone knows history doesn't repeat, unless the universe collapses in
Reflecting on the repetition of history but leaving room for exceptions
It'll be different
Expecting change or hoping for a different outcome (repeated)
The fourth, the fifth time around
Believing subsequent attempts might differ (repeated)
Don't wanna hear it
Refusing to listen to something undesirable (repeated)
The vacuum, it has no sound
Comparing the emptiness to silence (repeated)
And if by chance, I found you
Considering the possibility of finding the person or love by chance
If I found love, how could I ever lose?
Expressing confidence in keeping love once found
