I don't want to move on
Embracing the Unwanted: Carlota Flâneur's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
You say you're sad, you're just tired
You claim sadness, but it seems fatigue is the true emotion.
I can relate I'm tired too
I empathize; I too experience weariness.
it's the way the world spins around
Expressing the chaotic nature of the world's constant rotation.
it's hard to keep your feet on the ground
Highlighting the difficulty of maintaining stability amidst life's challenges.
Now you wrote me a letter
A letter received, indicating communication and expression of remorse.
saying you're sorry well thanks
Gratitude expressed for the apology, recognizing the sentiment.
but after eight months the world's a different place
Time has transformed the world, making it unfamiliar after eight months.
after eight months my mind's a different place
The speaker's mental state has undergone significant change in the same period.
This is when
Indicates a critical moment.
I know I have to move on
A realization that moving forward is necessary.
but I can't
Despite awareness, moving on is proving challenging.
This is when
Repetition of the crucial moment.
I know I have to move on
The acknowledgment of the necessity to progress.
but I don't want to
Expresses a reluctance or resistance to move forward.
I just don't want to
Emphasizes the strong aversion to moving on.
It will be a weird summer
Anticipation of an unusual summer.
maybe you will see my face
Possibility of the other person encountering the speaker.
I will capture every move and every sound
A commitment to capturing every detail, suggesting a desire to be present.
but having a phone is not the same as being around
Recognition that virtual presence through a phone lacks the authenticity of physical presence.
This is when
Reiteration of the critical juncture.
I know I have to move on
The internal struggle with the imperative need to move on.
but I can't
Despite awareness, the difficulty of progressing persists.
This is when
Repetition of the recognition of the necessity to move on.
I know I have to move on
The internal conflict with the reluctance to embrace change.
but I don't want to
Expresses the strong resistance to moving forward.
I just don't want to
Reiterates the firm unwillingness to proceed.
