Narwhal
Melodies of Regret: Unveiling Emotions in Greenerside's 'Narwhal'
Lyrics
I wrote the words
I authored the lyrics
On pages of notes
Written on musical notes
And organized the sounds around them
Arranged sounds to complement the words
Just to express
To convey emotions
The way my heart felt
Reflecting my emotional state
And everything I wish I had said
Expressing unspoken thoughts
Now I'm waiting
Currently in a state of anticipation
Waiting to forget
Waiting to erase from memory
The look on your face
Recalling your reaction
When you read the words
When you interpreted my words
I'd been meaning to say
Words I meant to express earlier
I'm moving on
Moving forward emotionally
The narwhal's gone
A symbolic reference to a departure
But I can't help thinking
Contemplating the past
When I sing this song
Reflection during the performance
A four letter word
A word I hesitated to express
Was afraid to say
Fearful of expressing too early
It felt like too soon but I fell that way
Feeling rushed but genuine emotions
Time healed the wound
Time has healed emotional wounds
But it didn't delete
But memories persist
All of the imagery of you and me
Retained mental images of us
Now I'm waiting
Still in a state of anticipation
Waiting to forget
Awaiting the fading of memories
The look on your face
Remembering your reaction
When you read the words
To the words I delayed
I'd been meaning to say
Intending to move forward emotionally
I'm moving on
A symbolic reference to emotional progression
The narwhal's gone
Suggesting a departure of emotions
But I can't help thinking
Reflecting on the past during performance
When I sing this song
Contemplating the impact of the song
You were the first
You were the first to express emotions
To say it
Because I delayed expressing my feelings
Because I waited too long to play it
Resulting in the loss of that opportunity
And now it's gone
The chance to convey emotions is lost
And now it's gone
Emphasizing the irreversibility of the situation
