things that was
Yearning for Lost Love: Clara Oelker's Melancholic Reflections
Lyrics
Hey
Greeting, informal and friendly
How are you? I am fine
Expressing well-being; nothing significant happening
Nothing's new, nothing to hide
Stating transparency and openness, nothing to conceal
But when I see you with that face
Reacting to a specific expression on the person's face
You just take me back
Eliciting a nostalgic feeling, reminiscent of a past place or time
To oh that place
Reflecting on a previous emotional state
I was yours
Recalling a time when the speaker belonged to someone
No slamming doors in my face
Highlighting a harmonious past, no abrupt endings
And your looks of grace
Appreciating the attractive qualities of the person
But you don't look here anymore
Noticing the absence of the person's presence
What are we doing all this for
Questioning the purpose and meaning of current actions
Space in my soul
Describing an emotional void or emptiness
Never to be whole
Expressing the impossibility of being complete
Always incomplete
Acknowledging a perpetual sense of incompleteness
Oh haaa
Emotional exclamation, possibly indicating pain or longing
But for you, I will leave
Willingness to make sacrifices for the person
I'll leave
Reiterating the commitment to leave
Hey
Greeting, repetition from the beginning
What you do? What are you up to
Inquiring about the person's current activities
In your life
Acknowledging the person's success or positive aspects
Your stars shine so bright
Expressing a desire to distance from the person's influence
But I don't want to see you stars anymore
Rejecting the allure of the person's charm
Trying to see
Attempting to discern the best course of action for personal well-being
What's best for me and you
Finding the search for the best option to be unfulfilling
But all that I find
Conveying a sense of emptiness and sadness
Is empty and blue
Questioning personal identity without the person
Is that who I am without you
Reflecting on the impact of the person's absence
Hey
Greeting, repetition from earlier
How are you? I am fine
Reiterating well-being and lack of significant changes
Nothings' new, nothing to hide
Restating the absence of noteworthy events
But when I see you
Expressing a desire to be with the person upon seeing them
I want to be with you
Affirming the longing to reunite with the person
But when I see you
Repeating the desire to be with the person
I want
Expressing a strong want or need for the person
I want to be with you
Reaffirming the intense desire to be with the person
