From a Beach House
Solitude's Symphony: Unveiling the Abandoned Beach House Tale
Lyrics
And what do we see here
Reflecting on the surroundings, questioning the visible elements.
Washing up on the beach in November
Noticing items washed ashore on the beach during the cold month of November.
When nobody lives here
Highlighting the absence of inhabitants in this beach location.
Because they've all left this beach town
People have deserted the town for the winter.
For the winter
Residents have left the beach town anticipating the winter season.
Tables and bed frames
Various discarded items, such as furniture, scattered on the beach.
A complete set of tarnished silver
Listing specific objects like tarnished silverware left behind.
Photographs with no names
Photographs without identification or context left amid the debris.
More items are left with every crash of the grey waves
Observing the continuous deposition of items by the waves.
I collect it all over the course of four days
The speaker collects these abandoned items over four days.
Four days
Emphasizing the specific time frame of four days.
Four days alone
Extended solitude for four days.
Hiding in a yellow beach house
Describing a yellow beach house where the speaker hides.
Full of beetles and stones
The house contains beetles and stones, contributing to its eerie atmosphere.
And a silence that's freaking me out
The silence within the house is unsettling to the speaker.
I broke the phone
The speaker accidentally breaks the phone.
I didn't mean to but I broke it
Expressing regret for unintentionally damaging the phone.
The waves sigh and moan
Listening to the sounds of the waves while sitting on the porch.
I sit on the porch and I hope it
Hoping for the rain not to start again.
Don't start to rain again
The speaker fears the recurrence of rain.
I feel muscle pain again
The speaker experiences physical discomfort, possibly due to anxiety.
I wait for the main event
Anticipation for a significant event or development.
Which is your voice on the phone to me
The awaited moment: hearing the voice of a significant other on the phone.
Saying the operation went smoothly
Receiving information about a successful operation.
And they still can't kill us, hopefully
Expressing hope for resilience despite challenges.
And you're in the car on the road to me
The person is on their way, possibly with a transformed physical state.
With your brand new body
The arrival of a loved one with a new body, possibly symbolic of a positive change.
