Vows
Unveiling the Bittersweet Symphony of Lost Dreams
Lyrics
I wish there was a stranger
I desire the presence of someone unfamiliar
Sitting in this room
In this space, I wish for the company of a stranger
Our eyes could meet each other's
Imagining a moment where our eyes make initial contact
For the first time
An envisioned encounter for the first time
Now it's just my family,
The current situation involves only my family
A bloodshot bride,
A bride with bloodshot eyes
And a wasted groom.
And a groom who seems wasted or exhausted
Maybe there's an angel
Suggesting the presence of a mocking angel
Laughing at us now
Observing and finding amusement in our situation
Trying to tell us something
Hinting at a message we failed to grasp
That we should've learned
Implying there were lessons we should have learned
We should have learned
Emphasizing the importance of those lessons
Are you listening to me now?
Questioning if the listener is paying attention now
I used to have this dream you know,
Recalling a dream that was once held
But I let it slip away,
Regretfully acknowledging its loss
Traded it for something
Exchanging the dream for something attainable
I knew I could have
Something known to be achievable
But never really wanted
But not genuinely desired
Are you listening to me now?
Reiterating the question of attention
I wish I could say something
Expressing a desire to communicate
Instead of sitting here numb
Feeling emotionally numb and unable to speak
I wish my mind, I wish my mind
Wishing for a less burdened mind
Was not such a loaded gun
Describing the mind as a loaded gun
I wish I was a stranger
Repeating the desire for the presence of a stranger
Sitting in this room
Echoing the setting of a room with a desire for connection
Our eyes could meet each other's
Imagining the initial gaze with a stranger
For the first time
A regretful acknowledgment that it's now too late for such moments
But now it's too late for all that.
Expressing finality and missed opportunities
