What a Way
Echoes of Love Lost: Eniigma Gherkins' 'What a Way' Unraveled
Lyrics
Woke up in a drunken mess
Waking up in a state of disarray due to excessive drinking.
And I'm drowning in my happiness
Feeling overwhelmed by joy but possibly also facing challenges.
Waking up when your next
Awakening and realizing the proximity of the next challenge or event.
How else was it meant to be
Reflecting on the inevitability of the current situation.
Baby your salty
Describing a partner as emotionally intense or bitter.
And so sweet always
Portraying the partner as both bitter and sweet in demeanor.
All I have to say
Expressing that there is something important to communicate.
There has never been
Highlighting the uniqueness of the relationship.
A more perfect combo
Claiming that the combination of the speaker and their partner is flawless.
Than you and me
Affirming the perfection of the relationship.
Now I lie with my lover
Currently in a romantic relationship.
Still convinced
Remaining convinced that the relationship is destined.
That it was meant to be
Reflecting on the past belief in the predestined nature of the relationship.
But I had no idea that
Realizing an unexpected turn of events.
Just like that you would
Expressing surprise at the sudden departure of the partner.
Leave me for another guy
Acknowledging the partner's departure for another person.
But I saw you with
Observing the partner with someone else in a mundane setting.
Him at the grocery store
Confirming the visual encounter with the partner and another person.
Can you hear me when
Asking if the partner can hear the speaker's emotional pain.
I say that I never
Stating the intensity of emotional distress.
Felt pain like this
Expressing the depth of emotional pain experienced.
What a way-ay-ay-ay
Repetition of the phrase "What a way," emphasizing the emotional impact of the situation.
What a way-ay-ay-ay
-What a way-ay-ay
-What a way-ay-ay
-At the end I have nothing
Acknowledging a state of solitude with only oneself remaining.
But myself
Questioning the true value or significance of the past relationship.
And I have got to ask
Pondering the worthiness of the past experiences.
What it was really worth
Expressing a realization that the speaker was mistaken in their beliefs.
And I have come to the realization
Coming to terms with the fact that the speaker doesn't need the former partner.
That I was wrong
Admitting a realization of personal error or misjudgment.
And I don't need you
Affirming independence and asserting a lack of dependency on the former partner.
So why do I still try
Expressing confusion or conflict in trying to let go despite independence.
What a way-ay-ay-ay
Repetition of the phrase "What a way," emphasizing the ongoing emotional turmoil.
What a way-ay-ay-ay
-What a way-ay-ay
-What a way-ay-ay
-What a way-ay-ay-ay
Continuation of the repetition, underscoring the lasting impact of the situation.
What a way-ay-ay-ay
-What a way-ay-ay
-What a way-ay-ay
