Quest
Yearning Echoes: Embracing Loneliness and Unrequited Desires
Lyrics
Turning towards a time so free
Reflecting on a time of freedom and liberation
Justice has finally escaped
Justice has finally found its way out
The dripping words of yesterday
Recalling words from the past that continue to influence
Set my feeble mind astray
Those words have led my weak mind astray
I yearn to see
A strong desire to witness
The glow of her eyes as I appear
Longing to see the radiance in her eyes upon my arrival
A sign of satisfaction
A visible indication of contentment
Could be the sweetest sound
This satisfaction could be the most delightful sound
The staircase has one too many steps
Noticing an excess of steps on the staircase
I've already started back down
Already on the way back down
Come on
An encouragement or invitation
I love the caterpillars
Expressing affection for caterpillars
Munching on the leaves
Enjoying the sight of them consuming leaves
Pitter patter
Light, rhythmic sounds that distract from affliction
Makes me forget my disease
The distraction helps forget about personal struggles
Bugs have feelers just like me
Comparing oneself to bugs with antennae
And I'm feelin' oh so lonely
Feeling intensely lonely despite sensory perceptions
Disturbed in every sense of grace
Disturbed in every aspect of grace and harmony
The lady wouldn't give me a taste
A woman refuses to share a taste of happiness
Of the joy that means that much
Desire for the joy that resides in her touch
It lives within her touch
Expressing a longing for friendship
Why won't you be my friend
Asking why the person won't be a friend
I would love to hold you tonight
Expressing a desire to hold the person, even if only in pretense
Even if we just pretend
Even if the connection is not genuine
Why won't you be my friend
Reiteration of the desire for friendship
Why
Persistently questioning the lack of friendship
Why won't you be my friend
Repeating the plea for friendship
I would love to hold you tonight
Reiterating the desire to hold the person
Even if we just pretend
Emphasizing the willingness to pretend if necessary
Why won't you be my friend
Continued plea for friendship
Be my friend
Direct request to be a friend
I'd love to meet the one
Expressing a desire to meet the one who caused heartbreak
Who broke my heart
Recognizing that the person would captivate with a dance
I know she'd melt me with her dance
Appreciating the person's colors and smile
Her subtle colors, her sweet smile
Regret that the person won't have the opportunity
But it's a shame
Expressing sorrow or disappointment
She'll never get that chance
A final realization that the chance is lost
