Things That I Said
Regretful Echoes: Unraveling the Words I Can't Undo
Lyrics
My eyes greet the day bloodshot red
Reflecting on a morning with bloodshot eyes, possibly due to a rough night.
An empty bottle of rye lies beside me on the bed
An empty bottle of rye on the bed suggests excessive drinking.
I put my feet on the cold floor and hold my pounding head
Putting feet on the cold floor with a pounding head, indicating a hangover.
Wondering, what were the things that I said
Expressing regret and curiosity about the things said the night before.
I call out your name but only silence replies
Calling out a name with only silence, hinting at a strained relationship.
Fragments of last night flash back, there were tears in your eyes
Recalling fragments of the previous night, mentioning tears in the partner's eyes.
I'm afraid words came out that were never meant
Expressing fear that unintended words were spoken.
Oh, what were the things that I said
Questioning and lamenting the things said during the emotional moment.
Well, doubtful winds brought black clouds over me
Describing a negative emotional state with doubtful winds and jealousy.
Pouring down jealousy
Suggesting emotional turmoil, possibly caused by jealousy.
As the fog clears from my head
As the fog clears, the realization of saying regrettable things sets in.
I dread, what were the things that I said
Expressing dread and reflecting on the spoken words with remorse.
Reluctantly, I make my way downstairs
Reluctantly moving downstairs, facing the consequences of the previous night.
On the table, a smoking cigarette confirms my fears
A smoking cigarette on the table indicates tension or aftermath of an argument.
Beside it, folded, a note you left
Finding a note left by the partner, indicating further emotional impact.
As I read the things that I said
Reading the note reveals the extent of the impact of the words spoken.
The front door still creeks in the breeze
Describing a lonely atmosphere with a creeking door and a sad song.
A lonely black bird sings a sad song in the trees
Expressing a desire to undo the spoken words but facing the consequences.
I wish I could take it back, but I can't
Accepting the inability to retract the words and the need to live with them.
I got to live with the things that I said
Emphasizing the need to live with the consequences of the things said.
Well, doubtful winds brought black clouds over me
Reiterating the impact of doubtful winds and jealousy on emotions.
Pouring down jealousy
Continuing the theme of emotional turmoil caused by negative influences.
As the fog clears from my head
As the fog clears, the realization that forgiveness may be elusive.
You'll never forgive the things that I said
Expressing the partner's likely reluctance to forgive the spoken words.
You'll never forgive the things that I said
Reiterating the difficulty of receiving forgiveness for the regrettable words.
