Lyrics
Wrapping paper in the gutter
Symbolic representation of discarded or forgotten emotions or memories.
Moving slowly as the wind on the sea,
Slow, steady movement akin to the tranquil flow of wind over the sea.
(Faces calling, waves moving)
Imagery invoking memories and emotions (faces, waves) as referenced in the picture on the wall.
In your picture on a wall of a house of old times.
The depiction of a personal or nostalgic image within an old house.
(Can you hear me) Can you hear me
An attempt to communicate or establish connection, seeking acknowledgment.
(Can you hear me) Wandering sadly?
Wandering in a state of melancholy, possibly seeking responses or resolution.
In the city, feeling pretty,
Feeling confident or attractive within the urban environment.
Down and out and making love to you on the shore,
Feeling emotionally low or depleted, finding solace in an intimate moment by the shore.
(Ruined buildings, faces empty)
Observing the desolation around, feeling detached and hollow.
In the picture as I gaze ahead and don't see
Contemplating a future without a clear vision or purpose.
(That they're calling) That they're calling.
Awareness of external influences or responsibilities while lost in thoughts.
(That they're calling) Wandering sadly.
Continued wandering with a sense of sadness, possibly due to unfulfilled desires.
Shattered windows, stairs to nowhere.
Visualizing dilapidation, representing emotional turmoil or loss.
(Hear you calling) Hear you calling
Hearing a distant call or plea, resonating with the wandering sadness.
(Hear you calling) As I wander so sadly.
Responding to the call while still feeling lost or melancholic.
Wish I knew what you'd done to me;
Desire for understanding regarding the emotional impact of a past action.
Turned me on to things I never knew.
Introduction to new experiences or emotions due to someone else.
It's all broken, weeds are growing.
Visualizing decay, indicating a sense of hopelessness or deterioration.
Wish I was going home to the house by the shore
Longing for a return to a place of emotional significance (house by the shore).
(Where you loved me) Where you loved me,
Recollection of being loved in that meaningful place.
(Where you loved me) Loved me so sadly.
Remembering being loved deeply but sadly, perhaps due to circumstances.
Someday I'll get back, somehow I'll do it.
Hopeful anticipation of returning and resolving past feelings or situations.
I'll arrive there and you'll be there to meet me.
Anticipating a reunion or resolution upon return to that significant place.
(Walk together, tread the weeds down)
Walking together, overcoming obstacles or challenges symbolized by weeds.
Kiss again in the picture on the wall
Recreating an intimate moment depicted in the picture on the wall.
(Where I loved you) In the old house.
Recalling the act of loving passionately in the old house.
(Where I loved you) Loved you so well.
Remembering the intense love shared in that specific location.
