The Spice of Life
Navigating the Waves of Change: The Spice of Life Unveiled
Lyrics
Something has come between me and the world that knew
Feeling a barrier between myself and the familiar world.
What I thought would last is falling apart in the face of something new
What I thought was enduring is breaking apart in the presence of something new.
How can I explain that I had no choice
Expressing a lack of options or alternatives.
The sound of the waves fills her ears and drowns out my voice
My attempts to communicate are overshadowed by external influences, like the sound of waves.
And I'm just too far away for her to believe what I say
Being too distant for someone to trust my words.
She couldn't hear me, she wouldn't listen anyway
Communication breakdown, as the other person refuses to listen.
How can I write a letter the post is so slow
Delays in communication and the difficulty of delivering disappointing news.
If I'm to disappoint her then that's something she ought to know
Acknowledging the need to share potentially upsetting information.
I can just hear her voice fall as I wait here alone
Sensing disappointment in the other person's voice while waiting alone.
How can so much harm be done by just two minutes spent on the phone
Reflecting on the impact of brief moments on the phone causing significant harm.
You say that things will get better
Reassuring that things will improve.
But she would hate me if I let her
A fear that the other person will resent improvement efforts.
And she reads so much in every word that I say
Awareness that the other person interprets words deeply, possibly negatively.
I thought that being apart would just bring us some variety
Expectation that distance would add variety but realizing it caused a change.
But after some time it seems clear that she's changed in a different way from
Noticing a divergence in how the speaker and the other person have evolved.
Me
Emphasizing a difference between the speaker and the other person.
And I would like to shout at someone but no one's to blame
Feeling a desire to express frustration but recognizing it's not someone's fault.
It's just her it's just me and everything that is
Acceptance that the situation involves both parties and the surroundings.
Just not the same
Highlighting that everything has changed and is no longer the same.
Sometimes I would turn back the clock
Expressing a wish to go back in time.
And recapture all that we've lost
Desiring to reclaim lost moments from the past.
But I couldn't give up all that we have today
Acknowledging the value of the present, despite the challenges.
