Static Mirages
Echoes of Lost Love: Static Mirages' Emotional Journey
Lyrics
I swear that I know when I cross your mind because I get an itch that I can't scratch.
I can sense when I'm on your mind because I feel an unfulfilled desire or yearning.
The same one you'd get.
You experience a similar sensation when thinking of me.
So you'd call and we'd talk.
We used to communicate, and our conversations were significant.
Thousands of hours stuck in those phone lines.
We spent a considerable amount of time talking on the phone, accumulating thousands of hours.
I was too.
I also invested time in these phone conversations.
Living amongst static mirages when last August the sun didn't set where I hoped that it would.
I experienced a period of confusion and illusions ('static mirages') last August, especially when the sun didn't set where I expected.
Our day trips, train to Paris - losing the moments I'd mourn for so long.
Our day trips, including a train journey to Paris, led to the loss of moments I had cherished for a long time.
Took some time to accept it
It took some time, but I eventually accepted the reality.
I will never forget it
I will never forget the experience.
The place where we met was the end, in that city.
The place where we met marked the end of our relationship, and it happened in that city.
The talk in your car was so hard but the wall was put up
The conversation in your car was difficult, and emotional barriers were erected.
I swear that you know when you cross my mind.
You can feel when I'm on your mind, and you dream about it.
You dream of it.
You have recurring dreams or thoughts about our past.
Soul mates are sometimes just temporary.
The connection we shared as soul mates might have been temporary.
And maybe we meet them when we need it.
We may encounter soul mates when we need them most.
Been 365 round the sun since the day in New York when I awoke knowing that what I had known would be gone.
A year has passed since a significant event in New York, and I woke up realizing that what I had known would be lost.
Took some time to accept it
It took time, but I eventually accepted the truth.
I will never forget it
I will always remember this experience.
The place where we met was the end, in that city.
The place where we met marked the end of our relationship, and it happened in that city (repeated line).
The talk in your car was so hard.
The conversation in your car was emotionally challenging.
Took some time to accept it
It took time, but I eventually accepted the truth (repeated line).
We will never forget it
We will never forget the experience (repeated line).
Outside my hotel we threw out our whole story and when it comes back this is how it would had to have gone.
Outside my hotel, we discarded our shared narrative, and if it returns, this is how it must have unfolded.
We both hurt so badly, didn't we?
We both experienced intense emotional pain.
But it felt so strangely necessary for us.
Despite the pain, it felt strangely necessary for both of us.
For your tears spent on me, I'm sorry.
I apologize for the tears you shed for me.
But my own were only loving memories of us.
My tears, however, are only loving memories of us.
