Misunderstood
Revisiting Memories: Emotions in Echoes
Lyrics
Had to make some space on my phone
Creating space on the phone, perhaps metaphorically clearing memories.
Came across an old video
Discovering an old video, triggering memories.
Of you and I laughin' bout somethin
Recalling a moment of laughter with the other person.
Can't quite remember
Uncertainty about the specific memory being referenced.
Shouldn't be so emotional
Acknowledging emotional reactions to the past.
If it's true that I let you go
Questioning if the decision to let the person go was correct.
(let you go)
Reiteration of letting go, possibly expressing difficulty.
But we all lie to ourselves sometimes
Admitting self-deception, acknowledging lies to oneself.
I don't wanna be
Expressing a desire not to be misunderstood.
Misunderstood
Reiterating the desire for understanding and a positive connection.
I want things to be good between us
Expressing a wish for a good relationship.
I don't wanna be
Repeating the desire not to be misunderstood.
Misunderstood
Reiterating the wish for a positive relationship.
I want things to be good between us
Emphasizing the desire for a good connection.
I don't mean to dwell on the past
Acknowledging an attempt not to dwell on the past.
Seeing as that we didn't last
Reflecting on the end of the relationship.
But sometimes I think of what it could've been
Pondering what the relationship might have been under different circumstances.
If things were different then
Speculating on alternative outcomes.
You saw me break under pressure
Recalling the other person witnessing a moment of vulnerability.
Now my life is so much better
Asserting that life has improved despite past struggles.
Even though I cry to myself sometimes
Admitting occasional private moments of emotional struggle.
(Ooh Lord)
An emotional plea or acknowledgment.
I don't wanna be
Repeating the desire not to be misunderstood.
Misunderstood
Expressing a wish for understanding and harmony.
I want things to be good between us
Reiterating the desire for a positive connection.
(I don't wanna be)
Emphasizing the avoidance of being misunderstood.
I don't wanna be
Restating the desire not to be misunderstood.
Misunderstood
Reiterating the wish for understanding and a good relationship.
I want things to be good between us
Emphasizing the desire for positive interactions.
I just wanna talk to you one last time
Expressing a desire for a final conversation.
Don't wanna dwell on the past
Avoiding dwelling on past issues, focusing on making things right.
Just wanna make it right
Expressing a desire to correct past mistakes.
I just wanna talk to you one last time
Repeating the wish for a final conversation.
Don't wanna dwell on the past
Avoiding dwelling on past issues, emphasizing the desire to make amends.
Just wanna make it right
Reiterating the intention to make things right.
(Ooh oh)
An emotional expression or plea.
I don't wanna be
Repeating the desire not to be misunderstood.
