Allston
Yearning Amidst Urban Change: Allston's Poignant Melody
Lyrics
Hello, can you hear me where you are?
Greeting and inquiry about the listener's presence.
I've searched for ways to call to you
Expressing efforts to reach out or communicate.
I wish I knew
Expressing a desire for understanding or knowledge.
Today, the hollow shells and cars
Describing a scene with empty shells and cars.
Swallowed all the darts
Metaphorically referring to emotional pain or rejection.
I threw, all to you
Mentioning actions directed towards the listener.
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Repetition for emphasis, possibly highlighting certainty.
Like daylight, my darling
Comparing the situation to daylight, a metaphor for clarity.
We're darkening
Describing a process of becoming darker, metaphorically.
And I can see you darkening
Observing the listener's transformation into darkness.
Goodbye, to parking lots and town
Bidding farewell to mundane places and experiences.
To fear and all her doubts
Saying goodbye to fear and uncertainties.
Goodbye, lost
Expressing being lost in the past.
Hello, found
Greeting the state of being found or discovered.
Goodbye, lost
Reiterating the sense of being lost in the past.
Hello, found
Repeating the greeting of being found or discovered.
No matter how I frame this picture
Expressing the difficulty in perceiving a situation positively.
No matter how I change the lines
Highlighting challenges in altering perspectives.
I'd rather have you right here closer
Preferencing physical closeness in relationships.
I'd rather have you in my mind
Expressing a preference for mental connection with someone.
No matter how I call this progress
Acknowledging progress but questioning its value.
No matter how I change the lines
Stating difficulties in changing established patterns.
I'd rather have you right here closer
Reiterating the preference for physical presence.
I'd rather have you in my mind
Re-emphasizing the preference for mental connection.
I'd rather have you right here closer
Expressing a strong preference for physical proximity.
I'd rather have you right here closer
Reiterating the strong desire for physical closeness.
