Modern Soul
Navigating Crossroads of Love and Self-Discovery in 'Modern Soul'
Lyrics
I know a crossroads where I see them, see them
I am aware of a point of decision or dilemma where I observe them repeatedly
I want it to be over, I want it to be over
I desire the situation or emotional struggle to come to an end
So I swim to you while I'm sleeping
I navigate towards you while in a state of unconsciousness or vulnerability
Through sage green rivers of England
Symbolic reference to traversing through the natural landscapes of England
I see the scenery changes, changes
I observe the surroundings undergoing changes or transformations
I want it to be over, I want it to be over
Expressing the desire for a resolution or conclusion
When I don't think of you, the willpower
When I am not actively thinking of you, my determination or strength of character is tested
What I didn't see was I was talking to so many people at once
Realization of engaging in conversations with numerous people simultaneously
I had no idea I was
Unawareness of being involved with multiple individuals
I had no idea of the difference between
Lack of understanding the distinctions or disparities between
The way I saw your face and the way it was
Discrepancy between my perception of your face and its actual appearance
Because of a few songs
Alludes to the impact of a few songs on emotions or memories
I remember laughing, to take that away from you
Recollection of laughter as a means to deprive you of something
To take that away from you, I remember laughing
Repetition of the intent to take away something through laughter
I remember laughing, to take that away from you
Continued expression of the memory of laughter for the same purpose
To take that away from you, I remember laughing
Reiteration of the desire to take something away through laughter
The smaller the waves, you let me down
The less intense the emotional turmoil, the more I will disappoint you
The longer I will defend you
The longer the duration of disappointment, the more I will protect or stand by you
The smaller the waves, you let me down
Reiteration of the impact of smaller emotional disturbances on letting someone down
The longer I will defend you (because of a few songs)
Further emphasis on defending someone based on the influence of a few songs
I want it to be over, I want it to be over
Reiteration of the desire for the emotional situation to come to an end
I know a crossroads where I see them, see them
Acknowledgment of a crossroads where observations of them occur
I want it to be over, I want it to be over
Expressing the longing for a resolution or conclusion
