Apparition
Apparition: Mystical Echoes Across Water
Lyrics
Over the water
Reflecting on a body of water
Visions like skipping rocks
Imagery of fleeting visions resembling skipping rocks
Rippling across the shore
Effects spreading across the shore
Tides are low
Low tides during this time of day
This time of day
Emphasizing the specific time
But I see you there
Seeing someone despite challenges, possibly metaphorical
An apparition in a storm
Perceiving the person as an apparition during a storm
Calling out your name
Calling out to the person
A gust of wind
Wind forcefully affecting the speaker
Knocks me down
Being knocked down by the gust of wind
How'd I know
Uncertain knowledge about the person
Who you are?
Questioning the identity of the person
Disappear
Vanishing like a summer rain
Like summer rain
Left alone despite the disappearance
But I'm left alone
Continued solitude and uncertainty
Still wondering
Persevering in wondering about the person's whereabouts
If you're far away
Speculating on the person's distance
From here
(Blank line - possible pause or reflection)
Over the water
Calling out again over the water
I call out your name
Repeating the act of calling out the person's name
Pass the time
Passing time with reference to celestial bodies
Three moons
Counting three moons passing
They cycle through
Cycling phases of the moons, symbolizing change
Fall and rise
The cyclical nature of days passing
Days go by
The passage of time
Nothing but whispering leaves
Emptiness and solitude, with the sound of leaves
Hollowed out like pliant sand
Comparing emptiness to pliant sand
But I have this hunch
A gut feeling of a future meeting
Inside my gut
A sense of anticipation within
That I will see you again
Belief in a future reunion with the person
