The Grass Isn't Greener
Longing Echoes: Emotions Amidst Absence
Lyrics
I look so gray
I feel emotionally dull or depressed.
I've spiraled south, somehow
I've experienced a decline or negative change in my life.
You're far away
You are physically distant from me.
I mope around our house
I move aimlessly in our shared living space.
I understand it now
I comprehend the situation now.
I see your face when I sleep at night
I visualize your face in my dreams.
Your clothes are on the ground
Your belongings are scattered.
Your scent is all around
Your fragrance surrounds me.
I see your face when I sleep
I continue to see your face in my dreams.
Your clothes are on the ground
Your clothes are still on the floor.
Your scent is all around
Your scent lingers in the air.
You'd always say
You used to ask me to come home with pride, but I couldn't stay, and I rejected the idea.
Hey, Will you come home now? I'm proud. Why Can't you stay? I disavowed
Expressing the partner's request to come home and the speaker's disapproval, distancing themselves.
I'm not that face you see around
I am not the person you perceive me to be.
I'm just a voice without a sound
I am a voice, not a visible presence.
I see your face when I sleep at night
The repeated dream imagery, indicating a persistent longing or memory.
Your clothes are on the ground
Your belongings remain on the ground in the dream.
Your scent is all around
The lingering presence of your scent in the dream.
I see your face when I sleep
The continuation of the dream scenario where your face is seen during sleep.
Your clothes are on the ground
Your clothes persistently lie on the ground in the dream.
Your scent is all around
The lasting impact of your scent in the dream.
And I see how you felt now
I understand your emotions now.
I'm not the face you see around
I am not the person you perceive in everyday life.
When I'm the thing that brings you down
I realize I contribute to bringing you down or causing negative feelings.
And I see how you felt down
I comprehend your emotional state.
I'm just the voice without a sound
I am just a voice, not a visible presence, contributing to the negative feelings associated with home.
When home's the place that brings you down
Home is the source of negative emotions for you.
