I Ain't Found Nobody Yet
Searching Shadows: Unveiling the Emotions Behind 'I Ain't Found Nobody Yet'
Lyrics
Today the sun came up in the West
Symbolically, something unexpected or unusual happened.
And it went down in the East
Continuation of the unexpected; a reversal of natural occurrences.
If I laid awake a thousand nights
An exaggerated expression of difficulty in finding rest or peace.
I tried to rest at least
Despite the difficulty, attempting to find some solace.
I watch you come and go sometimes
Observing someone's comings and goings.
I watch the floor for moves
Being vigilant and attentive to details.
The shapes in this room move so still
The surroundings seem motionless, only indicating the presence of someone.
Just shadows of your shoes
Indications or remnants left by the person's presence.
I ain't found nobody yet
Expressing a lack of finding a suitable partner.
You know that did just fine
Content with being alone despite societal expectations.
I ain't found nobody yet
Reiterating the lack of finding someone.
They say that these things take time
Recognizing the belief that relationships take time.
I build the statues up like walls
Metaphorically constructing emotional barriers or defenses.
I'm building a fortress from nothing at all
Building protection despite it seeming futile.
And trying to wish it away
Attempting to ignore or erase emotions related to the situation.
I watch you come and go sometimes
Observing movements and actions.
My watch clocks the moves
A watchful eye on actions, possibly keeping track.
I can no longer keep hearing the lies
Unable to tolerate deceit or falsehoods anymore.
That we can not bear to lose
The fear of losing someone being unbearable.
I'm watching the days
Witnessing the passing of time.
All fall away like leaves
Time passing like the falling of leaves in autumn.
On November trees
An inability to perceive what's directly in front.
I clearly can't see
An inability to clearly see or comprehend.
What's in front of me
Feeling trapped or unable to move forward.
But I can't leave
A sense of obligation or inability to leave the situation.
I get up before the sun rises
Starting the day early, avoiding facing it directly.
And try not to notice the day
Avoiding confronting the passing of time and reality.
I wonder if I could hear what you hide
Curiosity about hidden emotions or thoughts.
Would it be the same- Would I hear you say
Wondering if discovering hidden feelings would change the situation.
That you ain't found nobody yet?
Pondering if the other person is also struggling to find companionship.
