Thousand
Miles Apart, Heart Together: Unveiling the Emotion Behind Emma Castellino's 'Thousand'
Lyrics
You're a thousand miles away
You are physically distant, a significant distance of a thousand miles.
And i thought i'd be okay
Initially expected to cope with the distance, but realizing it's more challenging than anticipated.
By now, but i'm not
The passage of time hasn't made the separation easier.
You're a thousand miles away
Reiteration of the significant physical distance between the speaker and the person addressed.
But nothing ever changed
Despite the distance, there is a sense of stagnation or lack of change.
Maybe it's time, yeah you're out of sight, but not out of my mind
Acknowledging the absence but emphasizing the continued presence in thoughts and emotions.
I see your face
The memory of the person's face is vivid and omnipresent.
Everywhere that i go
The person's face is imagined or remembered in various places the speaker visits.
And it breaks my heart cause it can never be yours
The constant reminder of the person is painful as a relationship seems unattainable.
I won't see you again
The acknowledgment that the speaker won't meet the person again.
We're in different time zones
Highlighting the additional challenge of being in different time zones.
And you won't ever remember my name
The fear of being forgotten, as the person may not recall the speaker's name.
But i will, always
The commitment to remembering the person despite the physical separation.
How can i forget the smile on your face
The enduring impression of the person's smile on the speaker's memory.
You're far, away
Reiterating the physical distance and emotional yearning.
But i can feel you close to my heart every single day
Despite the distance, the speaker feels an emotional closeness every day.
You're a thousand miles away
Repetition of the theme of a significant physical separation.
And i thought i'd be okay
Revisiting the hope that time would make the distance more bearable.
By now, but i'm not
Expressing the ongoing difficulty of coping with the separation.
You're a thousand miles away
Reiteration of the vast physical distance without noticeable change.
But nothing ever changed
Suggesting that it might be time to confront the emotional challenge.
Maybe it's time, yeah you're out of sight, but not out of my mind
Emphasizing that the person is out of sight but remains in the speaker's thoughts.
Tell me, you still think about me
Seeking reassurance that the person still remembers and thinks about the speaker.
No i'm not the kind to move on so easily
Asserting the speaker's emotional difficulty in moving on from the relationship.
Tell me, you still think about me
Reiteration of the desire for the person to continue thinking about the speaker.
No i'm not the kind to move on so easily
Reaffirming the speaker's emotional attachment and resistance to moving on.
You're a thousand miles away
Reaffirmation of the physical distance and its emotional impact.
And i thought i'd be okay
Revisiting the expectation that time would ease the emotional burden.
By now, but i'm not
Expressing ongoing difficulty in coping with the separation.
You're a thousand miles away
Reiteration of the vast physical distance without noticeable change.
But nothing ever changed
Suggesting that it might be time to confront the emotional challenge.
Maybe it's time, yeah you're outta sight
Acknowledging that the person is now physically out of sight.
Yeah you’re outta sight
Emphasizing the person's absence from view.
Yeah you’re outta sight
Reiterating the person's physical absence from the speaker's sight.
