Reflecting on Love's Echoes: Chromatics' Melancholic Tale
Lyrics
When the world changes to the place so cold
Reflecting on a world that has become cold and changed.
I wonder if I could be your mirror
Contemplating the possibility of being a reflection or mirror for someone.
These days they that no man is an island
Acknowledging the idea that no one is entirely self-sufficient in today's society.
But when I dream of who we were I slip away
Nostalgically dreaming about the past but feeling it slipping away.
Like the pages of the book I'd never get to write
Comparing one's life to an unwritten book, full of missed opportunities.
On the eastside of the city
Setting the scene on the east side of the city.
Where the ink is running dry
Describing a place where creative inspiration or energy is diminishing.
And if you love me like you say
Expressing a desire for genuine love and commitment.
Take this book and burn the page
Suggesting a symbolic act of moving on by burning a book page.
The rain will wash away the ashes
Believing that letting go will bring a cleansing and renewal like rain washing away ashes.
On the eastside of my heart
Locating emotional experiences on the east side of the heart.
Tomorrow when your eyes are growing old
Anticipating a future where the impact of time is evident in aging.
And your reflection starts to turn so cold
Noting a change in one's reflection and emotions as time passes.
I wonder if I could be your mirror
Reiterating the desire to be a reflective presence for someone else.
And together we could crack and break forever
Exploring the idea of facing challenges and enduring together.
Like the pages of the book I'd never get to write
Repeating the analogy of life as unwritten pages, implying missed opportunities.
On the eastside of the city
Restating the location on the east side of the city with diminishing creative energy.
Where the ink is running dry
Reiterating the concept of dwindling inspiration or creativity.
And if you love me like you say
Asking for a genuine display of love if it is professed.
Take this book and burn the page
Symbolically urging to let go by burning a page and starting anew.
The rain will wash away the ashes
Believing that cleansing rain will wash away the remnants of the past.
On the eastside of my heart
Placing emotional experiences on the east side of the heart.
