Tonight I'm Drowning
Solitude Blues: A Poetic Dive into Love's Ebb and Flow
Lyrics
Although we seem to have come to an end
Although the relationship appears to be over
Wish you'd still treat me like a friend
Desire for continued friendly treatment despite the breakup
We move like lovers in the night
Describing intimate and close interactions during the night
Our shadows play by candlelight
Symbolic reference to romantic moments in dim lighting
And oh, my solitude blues
Expressing feelings of loneliness and sadness
Are pining, pining over you
Loneliness intensifies, yearning for the other person
My legs, open
Suggesting vulnerability or openness, both emotionally and physically
Missing you comes in waves
Emotional pain comes and goes in waves
Tonight I'm drowning
Expressing a deep emotional struggle, feeling overwhelmed
To say your name without tasting
Mentioning difficulty mentioning the ex-partner's name without emotional impact
To hear his words but not face him
Hearing someone else's words without confronting them
To wear a frown as the sun sets
Wearing a frown as the day ends, possibly reflecting on sadness
These are the things I most regret
Regretting certain actions or choices in the past
And oh, my solitude blues
Reiteration of deep feelings of loneliness and longing
Are pining, pining over you
Intensified emotions of solitude and pining
My legs, open
Possibly symbolizing emotional vulnerability or openness
Missing you comes in waves
Emphasizing the cyclical nature of missing the person
Tonight I'm drowning
Deep emotional struggle, feeling overwhelmed and submerged
