Out Here
Beyond Dragonflies: Navigating Solitude in Hayden Elizabeth's Melodic World
Lyrics
I saw a dragonfly go past
Observation of a dragonfly passing by.
And twenty more rushed by right after that
Several more dragonflies quickly followed the first one.
But not once did I think of you
The speaker didn't think of someone specific (possibly a person or an idea).
Where you were so I could tell you
Expresses the desire to communicate with the absent person or entity.
Instead I fell inside the looking glass
Metaphorical reference to entering a different world or a surreal experience.
Ha ah ha ah oh ah oh a ho
Non-verbal expression, possibly conveying emotions or a transition in thought.
Ha ah ha ah oh ah oh a ho
Continuation of non-verbal expression.
I want to know just what it takes to be alone
Desire to understand what it means to be isolated or self-reliant.
Out here
Emphasis on being in an isolated place.
Out here
Reiteration of being "out here" in a secluded environment.
I cannot call you from this valley down below
Unable to contact someone due to physical or emotional distance.
But I'm out here
Confirmation of being in an isolated place.
Out here
Re-emphasis on the speaker's current location or state of isolation.
Here
Repetition for emphasis or emphasis on the present moment.
Uprooted from your time
Feeling disconnected from one's original time or era.
After looking back I spent all of mine inside
Regret for spending all one's time in introspection or rumination.
But right here in the nothing
Existing in an empty or desolate space.
Two worlds close and barely touching
Reference to two different worlds, almost but not quite touching.
I live my life and do just what I like
Choosing a lifestyle based on personal preferences and desires.
Ha ah ha ah oh ah oh a ho
Continuation of non-verbal expression or emotional resonance.
Ha ah ha ah oh ah oh a ho
Continuation of non-verbal expression.
I want to know just what it takes to be alone
Reiteration of the desire to comprehend isolation.
Out here
Re-emphasis on being "out here" in isolation.
Out here
Restating the inability to connect due to the separation.
I cannot call you from this valley down below
Reiteration of being in a distant valley.
But I'm out here
Confirming the speaker's current state of being isolated.
Out here
Re-emphasis on the present isolated state.
Here
Repetition for emphasis or focus on the current situation.
Are you making all your dreams come true
Repeated questioning about the other person's fulfillment of dreams, possibly indicating the speaker's concern or curiosity about their well-being or aspirations.
Are you making all your dreams come true
-Are you making all your dreams come true
-Dreams come true
-Dreams come true
-Are you making all your dreams come true
-Are you making all your dreams come true
-Are you making all your dreams come true
-Dreams come true
-Dreams come true
-I want to know just what it takes to be alone
Reiteration of the desire to understand the experience of being alone.
Out here
Re-emphasis on the isolation experienced by the speaker.
Out here
Restating the inability to communicate from the distant place.
I cannot call you from this valley down below
Confirmation of the speaker's current isolated location.
But I'm out here
Re-emphasis on the present state of isolation.
Out here
Reiteration of being "out here" in an isolated environment.
