Small Favours
Echoes of Ephemeral Love
Lyrics
When I let you go
Letting go of someone
I felt so alone
Feeling a sense of loneliness after separation
Said you didn't know
Expressing uncertainty about what is expected
What to ask of me
Confusion about the desired actions or demands
Your head in a cloud
Being inattentive or aloof
Never could look down
Avoiding facing reality
My love in your shroud
Love hidden or obscured for the sake of safety
For security
Seeking emotional security
Cause we are nothing but strangers
Acknowledging a distant relationship
Part-time lovers
Describing a relationship with limited commitment
Who give small favors
Engaging in small acts of kindness in the relationship
Everything is also nothing
Highlighting the paradox of everything being nothing
Like the flowers you bring
Comparing emotions to ephemeral flowers
To mark a feeling
Symbolizing emotions with the act of bringing flowers
Time makes up her mind
Time deciding and revealing truths
There's more here you can find
Implies hidden depths waiting to be discovered
In every crack a sign of eternity
Finding eternal significance in small details
Picking at this lock
Attempting to unlock or understand a situation
To the ticking of the clock
Actions in sync with the passing of time
We never cease to talk of the things we need
Continuous conversation about essential needs
Cause we are nothing but strangers
Reiterating the sense of being strangers
Part-time lovers
Describing a relationship with intermittent commitment
Who give small favors
Exchanging small gestures of affection in the relationship
Everything is also nothing
Emphasizing the duality of everything and nothing
Like the flowers you bring
Comparing emotions to transient flowers
To mark a feeling
Using flowers as symbols for expressing feelings
You tell me that it's only the truth
Being told an absolute truth
But everything you say is just a reflection of you
Highlighting the reflective nature of spoken words
A reflection of you
Repetition of the reflective nature of the speaker
A reflection of you
Further emphasis on self-reflection in communication
A reflection of you
Continuation of the theme of self-reflection
