Echoes of a Lost Paradise: Unraveling the Mysteries of Ms. Mary McAdams
Lyrics
There was a time in our
Reflecting on a past time
Past I remember correctly
Recalling a memory accurately
Told me 'bout a beautiful place
Learning about a beautiful place with a closed door
With the closed door
Emphasizing the secrecy of the place
There were trees and the flowers they'd
Describing the beauty of trees and flowers in summer
All bloom in the summer
Highlighting the seasonal blooming
But no one knew their secrets except you
Noting the exclusivity of the knowledge about the place
Under the greetings sign was a place
Describing a spot under a greetings sign for hiding a key
For a key to hide
Emphasizing the selective visibility of the place
And it'd show up only whenever you were near
Expressing the appearance of the place only in proximity
I asked if I could maybe
Expressing a desire to visit the place
Visit the place with you
Requesting to accompany the person to the place
But you said: "Darling, it's already gone
Indicating that the place is no longer accessible
It's all gone"
Reiterating the unavailability of the place
Now I see you crying every night
Observing the person crying every night
I can't make you smile
Expressing inability to make the person smile
Maybe it's connected somehow to this
Suspecting a connection between the person's sadness and the place
Place you were talking about
Expressing urgency to find the place
I better find it fast
After long tiring hours of me
Describing a journey through the forest
Walking through the forest
Expressing fatigue after a long walk
I have finally found the place from your mind
Discovering the place from the person's mind
I recognised it immidiately
Recognizing changes in the place
Thought it changed pretty drastically
Observing a decayed environment
No green trees, rotten door and no flowers
Noting the absence of greenery and flowers
But there through the window I
Seeing shadows through the window
Could see all the shadows
Observing remnants of the past life and love
Of the life and the love it once had
It started to rain so I entered the place
Entering the place as it starts to rain
And the shadows were glad that I did
Noting the welcoming response of the shadows
They greeted me politely
Experiencing polite greetings from the shadows
Offered me a cup of tea
Receiving an unexpected offer of tea
Was a little suprised when they
Expressing surprise at being unable to leave
Say I couldn't leave
Conveying the inevitability of staying
But you came like you knew at
Anticipating the person's arrival with foreknowledge
Along that I won't be able
Noting the irresistible call to stay
To resist the call
The shadows slowly disappeared
Witnessing the gradual disappearance of shadows
You were their queen
Recognizing the person as the queen of the shadows
I asked if I could maybe
Repeating the desire to visit the place together
Visit the place with you
Encountering the response that the place is gone
But you said: "Darling, it's all gone
Reiterating the unavailability of the place
It's all gone"
