Failure to Send
Waking Dreams: Navigating Change and Solitude
Lyrics
I open my eyes
I wake up and become aware.
I can't believe what I read
I'm surprised or shocked by what I've read.
And the message I sent
Referring to a message I sent.
It's just a failure to send
The message failed to be delivered or received.
Now I gotta wake up
I need to start my day.
It's time to get out of bed
It's time to leave my bed.
By the time I stand up
When I stand up, it may be just a continuation of a dream.
I'll just be dreaming again
My reality might feel like a dream.
I know things are different than before
Acknowledging that circumstances have changed.
No more knick knacks
No more small, insignificant items.
No more gay lords holding hands
No more joyful couples at the coffee shop.
At the coffee shop
Specifically, a place where relationships were observed.
It's just me and the cat
Only me and my cat remain.
And we're alone again
A sense of loneliness or isolation.
Now I gotta wake up
Reiteration of the need to start the day.
It's time to get out of bed
Reiteration of the need to leave the bed.
But by the time I stand up
The act of standing may lead to a return to dreaming.
I'll just be dreaming again
Emphasizing the blurred line between reality and dreams.
I know things are different than before
Reiteration of the acknowledgment that things have changed.
This town this town is such a bore
A negative view of the town, finding it uninteresting.
I know things are different than before
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of change and boredom.
Even though you're gone
Despite someone being gone, the feelings have intensified positively.
I like you more
Expressing a fondness for the absent person.
