Not the Love We Dream of
Unveiling the Unspoken Depths: Gary Numan's Reflection on Love's Complexities
Lyrics
Sometimes things don't work out the way you planned
Sometimes, plans do not unfold as expected.
Sometimes words don't say the things you mean
Words may fail to accurately convey intended meanings.
Sometimes you can't explain the way you feel
Feelings can be difficult to express or comprehend at times.
Sometimes when we smile we tell the same lie
Smiles can mask the truth, serving as a deceptive facade.
With a whisper, everything you know
Through a whisper, the foundations of your understanding are disrupted.
Is torn away and life just stops
Life can abruptly halt with the unsettling force of a whisper.
With a whisper, everything you are
A whisper has the power to dismantle your sense of self.
Just falls apart and dies
Your very essence may crumble and perish with a whisper.
And all those things that you meant to change
Intentions to make changes often get lost or forgotten.
Are thoughts lost on the way to this
Thoughts meant for transformation can be misplaced along the journey.
And all those sorries you never said
Unspoken apologies may dissipate like words carried away by the wind.
Are words lost on the wind
Regrets may be expressed but unheard, akin to words lost on the wind.
Did you ever wonder about the end?
Contemplation about the conclusion of things may arise.
Did you ever you wish that I was still there?
Desire for a presence that is no longer there might linger.
Did you ever call my name by mistake?
Mentioning a name by accident could be a subconscious longing.
Did you ever cry yourself to sleep?
Tears shed in solitude may mark emotional struggles.
Slowly, slowly, we lose the love that binds us
Gradually, the love that binds people diminishes.
Slowly, slowly, we lose the care that holds us
Care and concern that once held individuals together slowly fade.
Slowly, slowly, we lose the time that shares us
The shared time that strengthens connections is lost over time.
Slowly, slowly, we lose the heart to save us
The collective heart that could save them erodes with time.
Sometimes things are not the way they seem
Reality may deviate from initial perceptions.
Sometimes friends are not the friends they seem
Friendships may not always be as genuine as they appear.
Sometimes time is not the cure it seems
The passage of time is not always a remedy for challenges.
Sometimes love is not the love we dream of
Love may not align with the idealized visions we dream of.
