Letters
Ink of Longing: Unveiling the Heartfelt Letters in Dancing On Tables' Melody
Lyrics
I've been writing letters, countless pages trying to find myself the truth
I've been reflecting on my identity and seeking the truth about myself through written letters.
But every drop of ink that I spill, carefully it comes right back to you
Despite my efforts, every word I write seems to connect back to you.
I've been searching for the answer, I've been looking for a way
I've been searching for answers and trying to find a way out of the current unfamiliar and challenging times.
To get to another place out of these unfamiliar days
Desiring to escape to a different place from these unfamiliar days.
But nothing ever comes and nothing takes away the pain
Despite my efforts, nothing seems to change or alleviate the pain.
But I still write your name
Nevertheless, I continue to write your name, indicating a persistent emotional connection.
I've been writing letters but they don't go far
Expressing the limitation of the letters, as they don't have a significant impact or reach far.
You won't write back to me cos you've got no heart for me
Revealing that the recipient doesn't respond due to a lack of emotional investment.
While I'm standing, I'll be sending
Despite the lack of response, the speaker continues to send letters while standing, suggesting a hopeful persistence.
One day maybe you'll be writing letter to me
Expressing a hope that someday the recipient might reciprocate by writing a letter.
I've been feeling restless cos I'll never do you justice with my words
Feeling uneasy and inadequate in expressing emotions through words, particularly for the person addressed.
The sadness in your silence shows me everything you think you don't deserve
The silence from the recipient conveys sadness and indicates a perception of undeserving on their part.
I'll write pages after pages till I finally get it right
The speaker is committed to writing numerous pages until they can accurately convey their feelings.
There's no better word for perfect, but I'll say it till you might
Despite the challenge, the speaker persists in using the word "perfect" to describe the addressed person.
Believe me when I tell you I will always feel the same
Promising a consistent and unchanging emotional connection, assuring that the feelings will endure.
I'll always write your name
Committing to always writing the name of the person addressed.
I've been writing letters but they don't go far
Reiterating the limited impact of the letters, as they don't travel far.
You won't write back to me cos you've got no heart for me
Highlighting the lack of reciprocation due to a perceived absence of emotional investment from the recipient.
While I'm standing, I'll be sending
Continuing to send letters with the hope that one day the recipient will respond.
One day maybe you'll be writing letter to me
Expressing the anticipation that, in the future, the recipient might initiate communication by writing a letter.
Oh, if you see
Using repetition to emphasize that if the recipient could perceive what the speaker sees, they would reciprocate by writing letters.
See what I see
-You would write me
-Oh, if you see
-See what I see
-You would write me
-I've been writing letters
Reiteration of the central theme, emphasizing the ongoing act of writing letters.
I've been writing letters but they don't go far
Repeating the idea of limited impact in the letters' reach.
You won't write back to me cos you've got no heart for me
Highlighting the lack of response due to the recipient's perceived emotional detachment.
I've been writing letters but they don't go far
Reiterating the theme of letters not having a significant reach.
One day maybe you'll be writing letter to me
Expressing hope that, eventually, the recipient will reverse roles and write a letter to the speaker.
