Solitude
Echoes of Longing: Eartha Kitt's Solitude Unveiled
Lyrics
In my solitude
In the state of being alone
You haunt me
You persistently occupy my thoughts
With dreadful ease
Effortlessly and uncomfortably
Of days gone by
Referring to the ease with which memories of the past resurface
In my solitude
Continuation of the feeling of being alone
You taunt me
You mock or tease me
With memories
Recalling moments that linger persistently
That never die
These memories are enduring and never fade away
I sit in my chair
Expressing a state of deep sadness
And filled with despair
Feeling hopeless and distressed
There's no one could be so sad
Emphasizing extreme sadness
With gloom everywhere
A sense of darkness and despair surrounds
I sit and I stare
Sitting and looking, possibly into emptiness
I know that I'll soon go mad
Anticipating a descent into madness
In my solitude
Reiteration of being alone
I'm afraid
Feeling fearful or anxious
Dear Lord above
Addressing a higher power, seeking intervention
Send back my love
A plea to reunite with a lost love
I sit in my chair
Repetition of the chair symbolizing a place of contemplation
Filled with despair
Reiterating feelings of hopelessness
There's no one, no one
Emphasizing the pervasive loneliness
No onecould be so sad
Intensifying the depth of sadness
With gloom everywhere
Repetition of gloom, emphasizing the bleak atmosphere
I sit and I stare
Continuing to sit and stare, possibly at a bleak reality
I know that I'll soon go mad
Anticipation of a descent into madness persists
In my solitude
Reiteration of the loneliness
I'm afraid
Expressing fear or trepidation
Dear Lord above
Another plea to a higher power for the return of love
Send back my love
Repetition of the plea for the return of love
