Crow's Feet
Eternal Echoes: Nostalgia and Longing in Jasmine Jang's 'Crow's Feet'
Lyrics
Can't call back where I left you last
Reflecting on the inability to revisit a past moment or relationship.
Are you stuck in the past
Questioning if the person is stuck dwelling on the past.
Near the trees that grow all your memories
Describing a place filled with memories represented by growing trees.
Here with me
Expressing a desire for the person to be present in the current moment.
Still see your smile in the miles of our wing
Recalling the lasting impact of the person's smile and the sound of their singing.
The sound of you singing
Highlighting the significance of the person's voice.
In the rain that washes away
Symbolizing emotional cleansing through rain and letting go of doubts.
My doubts
Acknowledging personal uncertainties and fears.
I guess I'm just scared of
Expressing fear of forgetting the details of the person's smile.
Remembering less of the way
Reflecting on the transient nature of moments and emotions.
You smiled today
Longing to preserve the memory of the person's smile.
And I know that these moments
Acknowledging the fleeting nature of precious moments.
They come and they go
Expressing a desire to prolong cherished moments.
But I wish I could hold on longer
Metaphorically referencing emotional roots in shared experiences.
Mind built roots on what we have made
Describing a significant place with coconut lakes where memories are built.
Behind coconut lakes
Referencing hopeful aspirations associated with a shared journey.
Starry hopes that sit on the steps
Describing the symbolic importance of steps in their shared journey.
Of our station
Highlighting the significance of a shared station in life.
And these eye lines carry more than my age
Emphasizing the depth of emotional experience surpassing chronological age.
What's real is in the weight
Stressing the reality found in the weight of shared experiences.
Of days as clear as your gaze
Linking genuine moments with the clarity found in the person's gaze.
In morning haze
Referencing the person's gaze in the morning, symbolizing a new day together.
I guess I'm just scared of
Reiterating the fear of losing memories of the person's smile.
Remembering less of the way
Reflecting on the transient nature of moments and emotions.
You smiled today
Reiterating the longing to remember the person's smile.
And I know that these moments
Acknowledging the ephemeral nature of precious moments.
They come and they go
Expressing a desire to extend and savor passing moments.
But I wish I could hold
Reiterating the wish to hold on to fleeting moments.
I could hold
Expressing a deep desire to grasp and retain precious moments.
Can I trust this mind to count the hours
Questioning the reliability of memory in counting shared hours.
I spent here with you
Reflecting on the time spent together and the value of each moment.
They said take your time but why do I
Expressing a sense of urgency and the perception of time slipping away.
Feel like it's all running out
Accepting the fleeting nature of time but expressing a desire to hold on.
I don't mind
Reiterating acceptance of the passing of time without resistance.
I don't mind
Reaffirming a willingness to embrace the passage of time.
Holding on longer
Expressing a strong desire to prolong cherished moments.
I guess I'm just scared of
Reiterating the fear of forgetting the details of the person's smile.
Remembering less of the way
Reflecting on the transient nature of moments and emotions.
You smiled today
Longing to preserve the memory of the person's smile.
And I know that these moments
Acknowledging the ephemeral nature of precious moments.
They come and they go
Expressing a desire to extend and savor passing moments.
But I wish I could hold
Reiterating the wish to hold on to fleeting moments.
I could hold
Expressing a deep desire to grasp and retain precious moments.
