Carrying The Torch
Carrying the Torch: Unspoken Longings and Silent Flames
Lyrics
Someone said last night it will be if it's meant to be
Someone expressed that the outcome will occur naturally if it's meant to happen.
Sounded so much easier than giving any effort
The idea sounded easier than putting in any significant effort.
You shouldn't write those things to me
Advising against writing certain things, possibly negative or troubling.
I know you're only gonna keep me up at night
Aware that certain thoughts or messages will keep the person awake at night.
Staring at the window waiting for the months to go by
Expressing the experience of waiting and feeling time pass slowly.
I would do it if you asked me to
Expressing willingness to do something if requested.
'Cause I'm still carrying the torch for you
Still holding onto feelings for someone; carrying emotional attachment.
I really wouldn't say it if I've been looking high and low
Denying having actively searched extensively for something.
Make a move in a new direction
Encouraging a change or shift in direction.
I really don't think that you could make it any better
Believing that improvement is unlikely to occur.
It doesn't have a place to go
Referring to a situation with no clear resolution or direction.
And it got worse
Indicating a deterioration in the situation.
And I got lost in the disconnection
Feeling disconnected and lost.
I would do it if you asked me to
Reiterating a willingness to act if asked.
'Cause I'm still carrying the torch for you
Continuing to hold onto emotions and attachment for the person.
And if you can't say what you've been going through
Suggesting that if one can't express their struggles, they may face consequences.
You could get rusted and you could be the next to go
Warning that if one can't forget something, they should learn to conceal it.
If you can't forget it you gotta learn to cover it up
Advising to hide or cope with difficulties, following the example of the best.
It's what the best ones do
Highlighting the importance of concealing challenges or emotions.
Someone said last night it will be if it's meant to be
Repetition of the idea that outcomes will unfold as destined.
The voices in your head you gotta keep it to yourself
Suggesting that internal struggles or thoughts should be kept private.
I know you're not talking to me but it takes so long I don't wanna be
Acknowledging a lack of communication but expressing impatience.
Staring at the window waiting for the months to go by
Reiterating the experience of waiting and feeling time pass slowly.
I would do it if you asked me to
Expressing readiness to take action if requested.
'Cause I'm still carrying the torch for you
Continuing to hold onto feelings and emotional attachment for the person.
