And I Know
Lost and Found: Unraveling the Emotions in Charlie Russell's 'And I Know'
Lyrics
How long has it been since I heard your voice
Reflecting on the duration since hearing the voice of someone significant.
Filling my ears with the sound I ignored
Regretting ignoring or neglecting the meaningful sound in the past.
How many times have I closed my eyes
Contemplating the frequency of closing one's eyes in a thoughtful manner.
Wishing you were still here by my side
Expressing a desire for the presence of the person beside them.
And I know
Acknowledging a realization or understanding of a situation.
That I went and lost it all
Admitting to losing something significant in life.
And I know
Reiterating the awareness of a loss.
That I never went to look
Acknowledging a failure to actively seek or explore.
I'm waiting for the ash in the sky to land
Waiting for a moment of clarity or resolution represented by "ash in the sky."
So that I can start to begin again
Anticipating a fresh start after a period of upheaval or difficulty.
Let it settle down around my feet
Desiring a calming and settling of emotions.
Give me a shock of love before you leave
Seeking a final expression of love before a departure or change.
And I know
Reiterating the acknowledgment of a personal loss.
That I went and lost it all
Acknowledging the reality of losing something significant.
And I know
Reaffirming the realization of not actively seeking or searching.
That I never went to look
Confirming the acknowledgment of personal loss.
And I know
Acknowledging a tendency to become mentally absorbed or lost.
I get lost inside my head
Expressing self-awareness about getting lost within one's thoughts.
And I know
Reiterating the acknowledgment of losing something significant.
That I went and lost it all
Acknowledging past mistakes or losses.
I always stumble when I try to speak
Admitting difficulty in articulating thoughts or feelings verbally.
Trip over the words, hide all my meaning
Struggling with communication and hiding the true meaning of words.
So I bury myself deep inside
Retreating inward, avoiding openness or vulnerability.
And find an excuse for why I don't come alive
Finding excuses for not fully engaging or living life to the fullest.
And I know
Reiterating the acknowledgment of a personal loss.
That I went and lost it all
Admitting to losing something significant in life.
And I know
Reiterating the awareness of a loss.
That I never went to look
Acknowledging a failure to actively seek or explore.
And I know
Acknowledging a tendency to become mentally absorbed or lost.
I get lost inside my head
Expressing self-awareness about getting lost within one's thoughts.
And I know
Reiterating the acknowledgment of losing something significant.
That I went and lost it all
Acknowledging past mistakes or losses.
