Ephemeral Love Chronicles: James Blake's Poetic Reflections
Lyrics
Don't use the word "forever"
Caution against using the term "forever," suggesting the complexity and impermanence of relationships.
We live too long to be so loved
Reflecting on the length of life and the challenge of receiving enduring love over such a span.
People change and I can be tethered
Acknowledging personal growth and the difficulty of being emotionally tied or connected.
We think we are the only ones
Expressing a shared human experience of feeling unique or exceptional in our struggles.
You can't walk the streets a ghost anymore
Commenting on the inability to navigate the world anonymously or unnoticed.
Days form like new figures down my road
Describing the passing of time and the visual impact of days resembling someone important.
Each one looks more like you than you know
Highlighting the tendency to see similarities with a loved one in various aspects of life.
Beauty always in the lust
Recognizing beauty in desire or passion.
You always landed on your feet in the dust
Acknowledging resilience and the ability to endure challenges and hardships.
While you were away, there was nothing to see
During a period of absence, conveying a lack of noteworthy events or changes.
There's a mirror in my room I never used
Describing an unused mirror as a metaphor for self-discovery or introspection.
While you were away, I started loving you
Expressing the emergence of love during a period of separation.
Oh, loving you
Reiterating the theme of love and its significance during the absence of the loved one.
And I noticed I can still ghost the streets
Realizing the ability to move through life without being emotionally affected or attached.
I noticed I can still ghost the streets
Repetition of the idea that emotional detachment is still possible.
I noticed just how slow the killer bee's wings be
Observing the slow pace of potentially harmful or negative aspects in life.
And how wonderful, how wonderful
Expressing wonder and appreciation for the positive aspects of life.
How wonderful you are
Reflecting on the wonderful qualities of a specific person.
