Songs of Love
Island of Love's Melancholic Harmony: Unrequited Longings in 'Songs of Love'
Lyrics
I never wanted to sing,
Expressing a lack of desire to sing.
Writing music to fall asleep to in my seat,
Creating music intended for falling asleep while seated.
Never writing songs of love,
Declaring a history of not composing love songs.
Who would've known you don't feel the way I do,
Surprised that the other person does not share similar feelings.
Never left my island of,
Staying within a comfort zone or avoiding unfamiliar territories.
Hiding away I could never speak to you,
Choosing isolation instead of communicating with the person of interest.
You'll never really fall in love with me
Realizing that reciprocated love is unlikely.
I just can't get any sleep,
Experiencing difficulty in getting rest.
Tired of these dreams they don't make them about you and me,
Expressing weariness of dreams that do not involve the desired person.
If I played some songs of love,
Considering playing love-themed music to evoke emotions.
Maybe you might start to feel the way I do,
Hoping that the music might influence the other person's feelings.
I can leave my island of,
Contemplating leaving the comfort zone for the sake of love.
Hiding away from the things I won't tell you,
Acknowledging a tendency to hide feelings from the person of interest.
Who really wants to fall in love with me
Expressing doubt about being lovable.
Maybe it seems all a little too good to me so I guess I'll just wait and see if you change your mind
Expressing skepticism about a seemingly perfect situation and waiting for a change of heart.
Lately you've been acting so strange to me so why don't we find some way to pass the time
Observing unusual behavior in the other person and suggesting finding activities to pass the time.
