FORGETFUL
Eternal Echoes: Navigating Love's Forgetful Symphony
Lyrics
When I say I
Expressing a negative emotion or sentiment.
Hate the way you make me feel
Disliking the emotional impact caused by someone.
Keeps both feet on the ground
Staying grounded and connected to reality.
Reminds me that I'm real
Being reminded of one's existence.
Ten and two I
Driving cautiously, keeping control.
Keep both hands on the wheel
Maintaining control and focus on the road.
Love we can't bear to look at
Love that is difficult to face or confront.
Remains unreal
Unrealistic aspects of love that persist.
So I
Initiating an action or decision.
Left my keys in your car
Left personal belongings in someone else's possession.
Engines turning over
Car's engine running, ready to leave.
This floating heart of mine
A metaphorical heart that keeps emotional distance.
Keeps you from getting closer
Maintaining a distance to avoid closeness.
Nothing to say to you now
Choosing silence over communication.
I know that I've been older
Acknowledging the passage of time and aging.
Left my years on your couch
Leaving a part of oneself behind.
Wish we had this much fun sober
Wishing for enjoyment without the influence of substances.
I know it gets you
Acknowledging the impact on someone else.
The way that I just sit and heel
Observing someone's angelic appearance.
You look so angelic
Contrasting appearance with a tough interior.
With your heart of steel
Choosing to ignore and not feel.
Either way I
Blocking out emotions intentionally.
Block it out try not to feel
Avoiding feeling and emotional involvement.
Turn the music up once
Using music to escape from silence and reality.
The silence gets surreal
Silence becoming uncomfortably real.
Left my keys in your car
Repeating the act of leaving belongings behind.
Engines turning over
Car's engine symbolizing a readiness to depart.
This floating heart of mine
A metaphorical heart maintaining distance.
Keeps you from getting closer
Keeping emotional closeness at bay.
Nothing to say to you now
Choosing not to communicate with someone.
I know that I've been older
Acknowledging personal aging and experiences.
Left my years on your couch
Leaving behind a part of one's life.
Wish we had this much fun sober
Desiring fun without the influence of substances.
So I
Repeating the act of leaving belongings behind.
Left my keys in your car
Leaving personal items in someone else's possession.
Engines turning over
Car's engine running, ready to depart.
This floating heart of mine
A metaphorical heart maintaining distance.
Keeps you from getting closer
Keeping emotional closeness at bay.
Nothing to say to you now
Choosing not to communicate with someone.
I know that I've been older
Acknowledging personal aging and experiences.
Left my years on your couch
Leaving behind a part of one's life.
Wish we had this much fun sober
Desiring fun without the influence of substances.
Left my keys in your car
Repeating the act of leaving belongings behind.
Hard being this forgetful
Expressing difficulty in remembering.
And you're no love of mine
Disassociating from a romantic connection.
Time in the study stands still
Time seems to stand still in a reflective state.
Blacked out pretty darkness
Experiencing a blackout or loss of consciousness.
Heart decides to cut a deal
The heart making a decision under duress.
Lucky I'm so forgetful
Grateful for forgetfulness as a coping mechanism.
I forget to feel
Forgetting to experience emotions.
