Under the Lamp Post
Echoes of Love Lost: A Melancholic Dance Under the Lamp Post
Lyrics
I look through the window to the crossed streets
I observe the intersecting streets through the window
Under the lamp post where we used to meet
Reflecting on the past, where we used to meet under a lamp post
The lights gone out and the silence is deafening
The light at the meeting place is now gone, and there's a profound silence
I looked in the bedroom where u used to sleep
I checked the bedroom where you used to sleep
I've cleaned up the bedspread and made up the sheets
I've tidied up the bed and sheets, longing for your presence
It's getting quite late and the silence is killing me
As time passes, the quietness becomes unbearable
Is there anyone home
Expressing uncertainty if anyone is at home
Darlin' pick up ur phone
Addressing the beloved, urging them to answer the phone
I just wish you'd come back for a day
A wish for the loved one to return, even if just for a day
Did i say something wrong
Questioning if something said was a cause for separation
Were my words all too strong
Wondering if the words spoken were too intense
If i changed myself would you have stayed
Contemplating personal change as a potential way to salvage the relationship
Just let me know
Requesting clarity and communication
When you'll come home
Expressing anticipation for the loved one's return
I tore all the lights out where we used to roam
Symbolically removing lights from places reminiscent of shared experiences
And now they're replaced
Replacement of lights symbolizes the loss of love
Now their love is all gone
Indicating the absence of love in the current situation
Please let me know if your hearing this song
Asking the loved one to acknowledge the message in the song
Let me love you
Repetition of the plea to let the singer love the listener
Let me love you
-Let me love you
-Let me
Continued repetition of the plea to be allowed to love
Let me love
-Let me love
-Let me love
-Let me
-Let me
-Let me
-I looked through the window to the crossed streets
Revisiting the scene through the window, hoping for a change
Under the lamp post where we used to meet
Reflecting on the meeting place under the lamp post once again
The lights turned on and i danced to our memories
The lights are back on, and the singer dances to memories
