Little Sorrow
Embracing Dawn: Confronting Shadows in Gaby Moreno's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
Little Sorrow
Introduction of the emotional state, a "Little Sorrow."
Little Pain
Reiteration of the emotional state, a "Little Pain."
When you gonna go away?
Questioning when the source of sorrow or pain will depart.
Cause I've been holding way too long
Expressing the duration of holding onto something, possibly emotional baggage.
Don't think my hands are built that strong
Doubting personal strength to continue holding on.
In silence I wait
Waiting in silence, suggesting a passive endurance of the emotional burden.
But you keep on knockin' at my door
Despite silence, the source of sorrow persists and disturbs the peace.
One of these days
Anticipation of a change or awakening in the future.
Something's gonna wake me up
Expectation of a transformative event to shake the current state.
I'm gonna hold on to it
Determination to grasp and hold onto positive changes when they occur.
One of these days
Reiteration of the anticipation of change in the future.
No more will I be
Declaration of not allowing oneself to be overwhelmed by circumstances.
Swept up by the current
Desire to break free from being carried away by negative influences.
Midnight hour
Reference to a specific time, the "Midnight hour," indicating a challenging period.
Calls me On
The challenging time prompts a response or expression, singing a sad song.
Makes me sing this sad, sad song
Linking the midnight hour to the emotional expression of a sad song.
Little Sorrow
Reiteration of the emotional state, a "Little Sorrow."
Little Pain
Reiteration of the emotional state, a "Little Pain."
Tell me, tell me when's it gonna end?
Seeking information about the end of the emotional distress.
You see my glee's asleep
Acknowledging a dormant happiness that is disturbed by persistent troubles.
But you keep on tuggin' at my sleeve
Despite the dormant state, the troubles persistently demand attention.
