Far Too Long
Melancholic Rain: Love's Echo in Far Too Long
Lyrics
This morning oh
This morning, expressing the current time.
I hear the rain drops falling
Observing the sound of raindrops falling.
And I was hoping to see
Expressing a desire to find the speaker's loved one.
My little darling oh lying next to me
Yearning for the presence of the speaker's beloved lying beside them.
Lost in my memories
Reflecting on memories, possibly nostalgic or sentimental.
I've been spending my days
Describing a period of time spent in solitude.
All alone babe and I
Emphasizing loneliness, with the speaker being alone.
I don't know when I'll see you again
Expressing uncertainty about when the speaker will reunite with their beloved.
Uh, my heart's got bruises everywhere
Describing emotional pain or hardship, metaphorically using bruises on the heart.
Uh, will I ever understand?
Pondering whether the speaker will ever comprehend the situation.
That I've been holding on for far too long
Realization of holding on to something for an extended period.
Down by the bakery
Changing the scene to a bakery, possibly a metaphorical location.
I've been spending my change
Using money, perhaps metaphorically, to describe time spent.
I'm still lonely and I
Reiterating loneliness, questioning the possibility of a reunion.
I don't know if I'll see you again
Expressing uncertainty about seeing the loved one again.
Uh, my heart's got bruises everywhere
Reiterating the metaphorical heart bruises and the struggle to understand.
Uh, will I ever understand?
Persisting uncertainty and the ongoing struggle for comprehension.
That I've been holding on
Repetition of the realization of holding on for too long.
God only knows how long
Expressing a prolonged duration, uncertain of its length.
The dream's already gone
Acknowledging the loss of a dream or aspiration.
But you can't break my song
Asserting resilience and the ability to continue with the speaker's own song.
I'm moving on
Declaring the intention to move forward despite challenges.
