Great Expectations
Unspoken Love: Navigating Expectations and Deviations in Celeste Marie Wilson's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
Our love is in Latin
Love is complex and mysterious, like an unfamiliar language (Latin).
I'll never learn to speak it
Despite efforts, understanding this love seems impossible.
But I'll find it hidden
Love exists subtly, not overtly expressed but hidden within other aspects of life.
In my French and my English
Love is found within various languages and experiences.
A language we never spoke
Communication issues exist; the spoken language doesn't capture the depth of feelings.
But heard in our silence
Emotions are conveyed in silence, in the unspoken.
My innocence was stolen
An experience of losing innocence or trust.
And I'm still trying to find it
Struggling to recover what was lost.
We had great expectations
Initial hopes and dreams were significant.
A detour from our destination
There was a deviation from the intended path.
Some terrible miscommunication
Communication breakdown led to significant problems.
A transforming deviation
Unexpected change that altered the course.
My tears were in oil
Emotional pain, depicted as tears, took time to heal.
A painting too long to dry
The emotional turmoil felt endless.
So the sky opened up
A metaphorical representation of emotional release - nature weeping.
And started to cry
The world seemed to cry along, sharing the pain.
You were my colors
Someone significant, representing happiness and completeness.
My favorite shade of blue
A specific, cherished aspect of that person.
I've tried other people
Attempts with others didn't fulfill the emotional need.
But the one I want is you
The desire remains fixed on a specific person.
We had great expectations
Reiteration of initial high hopes and dreams.
A detour from our destination
Again, a deviation from the intended path due to circumstances.
Some terrible miscommunication
Continued issues in communication leading to change.
A transforming deviation
Acknowledgment of significant transformation caused by events.
Dear Phillip
A direct address to a specific person named Phillip.
You'll know where to find me
Indication of where the singer can be found emotionally.
Still stuck in your Heart
Feeling stuck emotionally but not wanting to inconvenience the other person.
But please don't mind me
Requesting understanding for personal emotional state.
You were my first love
Recognition of the significance of a past relationship.
And I fear you're the last
Fear of not finding love like that again.
So please don't let our past stay past
Hoping to reconcile and not let past experiences dictate the future.
We had great expectations
Reflecting on the high hopes and excitement initially felt.
A heart racing anticipation
The anticipation and excitement of a passionate heart.
Of all things alone and taken
Feeling isolated and taken for granted.
But you turned my city into a nation
A metaphor for the impact of that person on the singer's life.
