Song for No One
Ephemeral Moments: Embracing Love, Loss, and Tomorrow's Promise
Lyrics
From night skies dressed in clouds
Referencing the dark, starry skies.
Morning came, your taste in my mouth
Waking up with memories of the person, feeling their presence.
I like the way that your hair falls down in your eyes
Appreciation for the way their hair falls over their eyes.
And you blush when you smile
Noticing their blushing when they smile, suggesting fondness.
When sleep combs your side then far away flies
When the person falls asleep, they seem distant or unreachable.
I love the way that you stare when the sleep fills your eyes
Admiration for the person's gaze when they're sleepy.
So yesterday has gone
Reflecting on the past, acknowledging it's gone.
Who knows, tomorrow may bring all we'll desire
Hopeful for desires to be fulfilled in the future.
Tomorrow brings the sun
Anticipating a brighter future.
Kiss the world with fingers crossed
Approaching the world cautiously, hoping for the best.
I've kissed the world with fingers crossed
Having faced the world cautiously.
I've been praised
Experienced both praise and acknowledgment.
I've been cursed
Faced criticism and disapproval.
I've been blamed
Been held responsible or accountable.
And I've won
Experienced victories.
And I've lost
Also faced losses.
On waves that fill your heart
Hoping for emotions (waves) to guide them forward.
The future glides
Hopeful for a smooth journey ahead.
I hope the serpents in the tide
Desiring the removal of troubles or difficulties (serpents).
Are all gone
Acknowledging the irreversible nature of past actions.
What's done is done
A song for no one's in my hand
Expressing a song created without a specific recipient or audience.
A song they'll never understand
Recognizing that the song may not be understood by others.
Til I have gone
Implying that understanding may come after they're gone.
And tomorrow brings the sun
Looking forward to a hopeful future, symbolized by the sun.
