In the Mood for Love
Longing Echoes: Emotions Through Silence
Lyrics
Sorry that I called
Apology for making a phone call
I just wanted to hear your voice
Desire to hear the recipient's voice
Answer on the telephone
Request for an answer on the telephone
When I heard your voice
Impact of hearing the recipient's voice
I thought I was in control but
Initial sense of control, followed by a freeze
I froze and could not respond
Inability to respond due to being frozen
Too much time has passed
Recognition of significant time passing
Both of us have moved on but we
Both individuals moving on, yet dissatisfaction remains
Still are not satisfied
Continued unresolved feelings
Breathless once again
Feeling breathless, possibly overwhelmed emotionally
I can feel you through the silence
Sensing the other person through silence
I know that you feel me too
Mutual acknowledgment of shared feelings
In the mood for love
Expressing a mood for love
Let me ask one question are you
Posing a question about the recipient's mood
In the mood for love tonight?
Asking if the recipient is in the mood for love tonight
Before you hang up
Before ending the call, urging for a response
Answer me this question are you
Reiteration of the question about the recipient's mood
In the mood for love tonight?
Asking once again if the recipient is in the mood for love tonight
Your scent
Mentioning the impact of the recipient's scent
Your smile
Highlighting the significance of the recipient's smile
That dress
Noting the impact of a specific dress
My mind
Connection between the recipient's attributes and the speaker's mind
Your scent
Reiteration of the impact of the recipient's scent
Your smile
Reemphasizing the significance of the recipient's smile
That dress
Repeating the impact of a specific dress
Oh my, oh my
Expression of awe or admiration
