Birds Singing
Nocturnal Echoes: A Melodic Journey Through Heartbreak
Lyrics
Another late night falling asleep to birds singing
Falling asleep late, surrounded by the sound of birds singing.
And I can't tell if it's them or the drink that has my ears ringing
Uncertainty about whether the ringing in the ears is from the birds or alcohol.
I'll pick my phone up again in five minutes
Anticipation of checking the phone after a short interval.
To see how much time has passed in five minutes
Checking how much time has passed in a short span.
And just in case on the off chance I might see your name
Hoping to see a particular name on the phone.
I can't count how many hours of sleep I've lost
Uncertain count of sleep hours lost, not blaming the person mentioned.
But then again that's not your fault
Acknowledging that the loss of sleep is not the other person's fault.
I just don't wanna go to sleep knowing full well that I'll wake up alone
Reluctance to sleep alone, preferring to stay awake.
So I'll push on through the night
Determination to endure through the night.
'til my body caves and I'm forced to lose the fight
Continuing until physical exhaustion forces sleep.
I think I'm sick it's wrong I'm right
Internal conflict about feelings, recognizing ambiguity.
But either way I know I shouldn't be falling asleep to morning light
Awareness of the inappropriate time to sleep due to morning light.
I don't wanna live this way
Expressing dissatisfaction with current life circumstances.
If I never said a word would you still be here
Questioning if silence would have preserved the relationship.
I don't wanna live this way but I
Resisting the current way of living, despite inner turmoil.
Can't get it off my mind
Struggling to remove thoughts about the person from the mind.
That you're no longer even a friend
Acknowledging the end of the friendship.
And I try to move on but I can't find
Attempting to move on but struggling to let go.
The will to leave behind
Difficulty in leaving behind a significant part of oneself.
The part of me that came to an end
Reflecting on the conclusion of a personal chapter.
Another glass of whiskey with a drop of Coke in it
Consuming whiskey mixed with Coke despite anticipating regret.
I know that I'll regret it later when my head has started spinning
Acknowledging the impending consequences as the head starts spinning.
'Cos I don't even think that it's been ten minutes
Realizing a short time span since the first drink.
Since I poured the first one and now I'm beginning to get lost
Getting lost but feeling a slight improvement.
I feel a little better but at what cost
Weighing the emotional improvement against potential costs.
Another Saturday evening sitting in with the telly on
Spending Saturday evening indoors, watching TV.
But I'm sure you're heading out
Assuming the person mentioned is heading out.
And that's all my friends can talk about
Friends discussing social outings, emphasizing isolation.
But I don't wanna set foot inside a club
Resistance to entering a club due to thoughts of the person.
When there's only one person I'll be thinking of
Constantly thinking about a specific person in social settings.
No matter who dances next to me or smiles at me
Unaffected by others' gestures or attention in social scenarios.
Or buys me a drink
Accepting drinks but not engaging beyond that.
I'll just drink it and leave
Rejecting the idea of dancing or prolonging social interactions.
I don't wanna dance today
Expressing disinterest in dancing on that day.
I'll just be dancing with my demons if I do anyway
Awareness of inner struggles and potential negative consequences of dancing.
I don't wanna live this way but I
Reiteration of the internal conflict and resistance to current life circumstances.
Can't get it off my mind
Continued struggle with persistent thoughts about the person.
That you're no longer even a friend
Acknowledgment of the end of the friendship, repeating the sentiment.
And I try to move on but I can't find
Effort to move forward but difficulty in leaving the past behind.
The will to leave behind
Struggling to let go of a significant part of oneself.
The part of me that came to an end
Reiteration of the concluding part of the personal journey.
The part of me that came to an end
Repetition of the acknowledgment of the end of a chapter.
The part of me that came to an end
Repeating the idea of closure and conclusion.
End
Finalizing the end of the mentioned chapter or phase.
The part of me that came to an end
Concluding the narrative of the specific part of oneself that has come to an end.
