Sometimes
Echoes of Unspoken Words: Emily Brown's Sometimes
Lyrics
Sometimes what it is it's like I'm yelling down a well for you
Sometimes, expressing my feelings feels futile, like shouting into an abyss for you.
I know you'll never say you do
I understand that you may never verbally acknowledge it.
You do, you do, you do
Despite your silence, your actions speak louder, confirming your feelings.
And ancient trees are standing silent, holding all their breath for you
The natural world, symbolized by ancient trees, seems expectant, holding its breath for you.
I guess I'd rather know you do
I would prefer knowing that you care, even if unspoken, than not hearing from you at all.
Than never hear from you
The fear of silence and lack of communication is greater than the fear of knowing your true feelings.
Every answer's clothed in layers of disguise
Answers are often concealed beneath layers of deception or ambiguity.
Oh it scares me that I cannot see your eyes
The inability to see your eyes is unsettling and raises concerns.
I am living in a house with all the blinds raised
The speaker resides in a transparent environment, yet you remain elusive, observing from the outside.
Watching you look through the windows from outside
The act of observing you looking in from the outside, perhaps feeling like an outsider.
Sometimes what it is it's like I'm running down the road for you
Expressing emotions feels like a pursuit, akin to running down a path for you.
White cars are chasing into blue
Obstacles (white cars) are in pursuit, creating a sense of urgency.
You do, you do, you do
Reiterating that your actions confirm your feelings.
And everything I ever loved and all the words I thought I knew
All that was cherished and understood is challenged or changed.
This road is wearing out my shoes
The journey is taking a toll on what the speaker values, symbolized by worn-out shoes.
The soles are peeking through
Signs of wear are evident, revealing the strain on the speaker.
All your old ideas have vanished in the light
Past convictions or beliefs have disappeared when exposed to the truth.
I heard the sound of them escaping in the night
The audible departure of old ideas is heard in the silence of the night.
You were looking out for someone you could turn to
You were seeking guidance, looking for someone reliable to turn to.
Someone else to tell you what you think is right
Seeking external validation or advice to determine what is morally right.
Who do you think I am to tell you where you stand?
Challenging the perception of the speaker's role in advising or defining your stance.
