Eternal Echoes: Jan Lee Jansen's Haunting Reflections
Lyrics
When I woke up last night under the water
Waking up underwater symbolizes a state of confusion or distress.
Too scared for open eyes
Fear prevents opening the eyes, suggesting a reluctance to face reality.
But too cold to stay under
The discomfort of being underwater but too cold to remain there reflects a difficult situation.
You were the first thing on my mind
The person on the speaker's mind as they navigate challenges.
And when I finally found the shore
Reaching the shore implies overcoming difficulties.
I walked the ten long miles
A long journey back home, possibly metaphorical, to the speaker's comfort zone.
Back toward our home
Returning to a familiar place, seeking solace.
The house in the dark with just
The house is dark, with only the faint light of a TV, suggesting emptiness.
A flicker of a TV set
Observing a guilty silhouette, hinting at a troubled relationship.
And through the window I stared
Peering through the window, intensifying the sense of separation.
At your guilty silhouette and said
The speaker addresses the silhouette, possibly confronting guilt or regret.

Ain't the body a strange thing?
Reflecting on the strange nature of the body.
How it keeps on going?
Contemplating the persistence of the body despite challenges.
It stays around when we are gone
Acknowledging the enduring impact even after one's absence.
The fish have sucked the wounds you left
Describing wounds left behind, possibly emotional scars.
Found shelter in my thighs
The fish finding shelter signifies unexpected places of healing.
The cold black water bloomed the dress
Water blooming the dress suggests transformation and growth.
I wore that final night
The dress from the final night holds significance.
So when you’re sound asleep
When the partner is asleep, approaching for an intimate connection.
Alone in our soft bed
The soft bed represents a vulnerable, intimate space.
I’ll approach your living lips just
Approaching the living lips, possibly seeking connection or closure.
To steal your breath and then
Stealing breath metaphorically, possibly alluding to a final moment.
