Navigating Love's Transitions: James Blake's Melancholic Reflections
Lyrics
I've done so much since
I've accomplished a lot recently
Who better to show it to
Sharing my achievements with someone
It's sad that you're no longer her
Expressing sadness about the absence of someone
No longer her, no longer, no longer her, no longer
Reiterating the absence of that person
But you were made alone
Highlighting individuality, suggesting the person was created alone
And I was made alone
Emphasizing personal individuality
Now we take our natural road
Choosing a path that feels natural
It's sad that you're no longer her
Reiterating the sadness of the person's absence
No longer her, no longer, no longer her, no longer
Continuing to express the absence of that person
From the pull of the rock
Alluding to challenges or burdens ("pull of the rock")
No longer her, no longer, no longer her, no longer
Repeating the absence of the person
From the weight of the sky
Referencing the heaviness of life's burdens ("weight of the sky")
No longer her, no longer, no longer her, no longer, no
Repeating the absence and burdens
It's sad that you're no longer her
Reiterating the sadness due to the person's absence
No longer her, no longer, no longer her, no
Continuing to express the absence of that person
We're at points
Indicating a specific moment or locations in life
On the tracks we ride
Metaphorically riding through life
And I know I'll love you for a very long time
Expressing a commitment to love for a long time
Just staying back
Observing or reflecting without active participation
I think about mine
Reflecting on personal matters
Just staying back
Repeating the act of staying back, possibly emphasizing contemplation
When you sing
Addressing someone singing and requesting not to be thought of
Please don't think of me
Asking not to be remembered due to the difficulty experienced
Cause it's way too hard from what I've seen
Explaining the hardship observed
From what I've seen
Repeating the difficulty witnessed
It's sad that you're no longer her
Reiterating the sadness caused by the person's absence
No longer her, no longer, no longer her, no longer
Continuing to express the absence of that person
