Lyrics
The storm is bad tonight,
The weather or situation is difficult and challenging tonight.
So how could I awake without you here?
The speaker questions how they can face the challenges without the presence of someone important.
Your picture's on the wall,
A visual reminder of the absent person, displayed on the wall.
You haven't called
No communication has been received from the absent person.
But I'll wait for you
Despite the absence and lack of communication, the speaker expresses willingness to wait for the person.
To her own reflection, she says, "I will hold on"
The person, possibly the absent one, affirms determination to endure and persevere.
To her own reflection, she says, "I will be strong"
Continued self-encouragement to be strong in the face of challenges.
The storm is letting up,
The storm is subsiding, but the troubles persist.
But it won't die
The difficulties are not disappearing completely.
If you weren't right was I?
The speaker questions their judgment or correctness in the absence of the person.
Your picture still remains,
The visual representation of the absent person remains.
But I wonder are you still the same?
The speaker wonders if the absent person has changed during their absence.
To her own reflection, she says, "I will hold on"
Similar to lines 7 and 8, the person reaffirms their commitment to holding on.
To her own reflection, she says, "I will be strong"
Continued self-affirmation of strength in the face of challenges.
Am I losing you?
The speaker expresses concern about losing the person.
I've waited, I've waited til it's over
The speaker has endured and waited until the situation has concluded.
It's over now
The challenging situation is now over.
When weakened, when will you rise?
The speaker questions when the absent person, who may have been weakened, will rise or return.
