Prairie Melancholy
Prairie Melancholy: A Haunting Tale of Love's Echo in the Vastness
Lyrics
The moment we said good bye
The moment of parting and saying goodbye.
Silence tore across the sky
A profound silence filled the sky.
The riverbed by wide and dry
The riverbed is wide and dry, extending as far as the eye can see.
As far as I could see
Describing the vastness and emptiness of the surroundings.
And someone said
Referring to someone mentioning the discovery of the speaker's ghost.
My ghost was found
The ghost is metaphorically releasing its burdens.
Laying her burden down
Choosing a longer, unconventional path to healing and closure.
Taking the long way around
Traveling beneath the moon, symbolizing emotional exploration.
Underneath the moonâ?¦
Introducing a setting on the prairie, evoking a sense of place.
Somewhere on the prairie,
Continuation of the prairie setting and introducing a cross.
A little cross in mine
A small memorial marker for the speaker, suggesting loss.
A simple wooden marker
Describing the marker with a plastic rose entwined, adding a touch of artificiality to the remembrance.
With a plastic rose is entwined
Immersing into the stillness of twilight and introducing a sense of time.
And in the stillness of the twilight
Describing the speaker's movement like a scorpion across melancholic moments.
As the tumbleweeds wind
Reflecting on the passing of time and the crawling nature of the speaker's emotions.
I am crawling like a scorpion
A call to discard poems, allowing them to be carried away by wild birds.
Across the melancholy time
Encouraging the release of dreams and putting them to rest.
so shred the poems
Blowing confetti across the golden west, suggesting celebration or farewell.
Let the wild birds chase them in the breeze
The speaker reminiscing about being a fragrance in a wild flower, expressing exclusivity.
Let them make their nests
The opening of the wild flower for a specific person.
From words like â??pleaseâ??
Describing a delicate hour before the cold sets in, indicating a fleeting moment.
Put those dreams to rest
Anticipating a connection that lasts for millennia.
Throw them at the moon
Recalling a fragrance in the distant future, filled with melancholic memories.
Blow the confetti across
Introducing ravens breaking the prairie sky, symbolizing change or disruption.
The golden west
Recollecting shared experiences of going where ravens fly, evoking nostalgia.
I was the fragrance in the wild flower
A shadow going down the highway, suggesting a departure or loss.
Opening for only you
The road is unfindable, possibly signifying a difficult journey.
In the delicate hour
The speaker crawling like a scorpion, emphasizing the slow and painful nature of the transition.
Before the cold shot through
Moving towards a new world across miles of prairie, filled with melancholic time.
Ten thousand years from now
Empty lines.
You'll put your hand in mine
-Remembering a fragrance
-Full of melancholy time
-You see those ravens breaking the prairie sky?
-We used to go where ravens fly
-Our giddy laughter made the angels cry
-To fly as free as you and I
-somewhere on the prairie
-A cross, a rose, a shrine
-Standing for true love
-Gone before its time
-There goes your shadow down the highway
-Out that road I could't fine
-While I crawl like a scorpion
-Slowly to the new word
-Across these miles of prairie
-Full of melancholy time
