I'll Be
Echoes of Love: A Poetic Journey in 'I'll Be' by Ilko Birov
Lyrics
I'm staring into the looking-glass
I'm introspecting or reflecting deeply.
All I can see is your smile
The speaker sees only the positive aspect, represented by the smile of someone significant.
I'll be waiting for my darling
Expressing a commitment to wait for a loved one.
I'll be waiting for a while
The wait is expected to be prolonged or uncertain.
Your sundial sits on my mantelpiece
A metaphorical reference to a timekeeping device associated with memories of the loved one.
I turn to it seven times a day
Frequent contemplation of the memories shared with the person.
I'll be waiting for my darling
Reiterating the commitment to wait for the loved one before moving forward.
And then I'll be on my way
Anticipation of the moment to depart or take action.
My white horse gallops in your garden house
Symbolic imagery of a white horse suggesting purity and a visit to the loved one's place.
Tells me I've gone insane
External perceptions suggest a deviation from rationality due to intense emotions.
But I love you and I know not of much
Professing love despite a lack of complete understanding.
More inside my brain
The speaker acknowledges limited knowledge within their own mind.
When it's cold outside we call to each other
Communication and connection during challenging times.
Things seems clearer, don't they?
Clarity in understanding each other during difficult situations.
I'm looking into that gallant, gallant place
Observation of a brave and noble place or state.
I see you standing all alone
Seeing the loved one standing alone in a particular state or emotion.
I'll be waiting for my darling
Reiteration of waiting for the loved one and expressing intent to accompany them back.
I'll be taking you back home
Expressing the commitment to bring the loved one back home.
I'm looking into the looking glass
Reflecting again into memories or contemplation.
All I can see is your soul
Seeing the essence or true nature of the loved one.
I'll be waiting for my darling
Repeating the commitment to wait and expressing fidelity.
I'll be true I hope you know
Hoping the loved one recognizes the sincerity and truthfulness of the speaker.
When it's cold outside we call to each other
Repetition of the theme of communication and clarity during challenging times.
Things seem clearer, don't they?
Highlighting the enhanced understanding during difficult moments.
