Where Was I
Lost Moments and Love's Eclipse: Where Was I When You Stopped Loving Me?
Lyrics
On a black and white TV, in a dark saloon
Reflecting on past experiences while watching a significant event on a black and white TV in a dark bar.
I was watching Neil Armstrong walking on the moon
Recalling the historic moment of Neil Armstrong walking on the moon.
And later on I got high and climbed up on the bar
Getting high and boasting about being able to fly above the stars while standing on a bar.
I told everybody there I could fly above the stars
Expressing a sense of euphoria and invincibility in the moment.
I was in a Dallas disco the night that John Lennon died
Being in a Dallas disco on the night John Lennon died, with a poignant memory of the DJ playing "Imagine."
And the DJ played "Imagine" and everybody cried
Witnessing a collective emotional response as people cried during the song.
I remember a thousand lighters held up in our hands
Remembering a moment of unity with a crowd holding lighters, advocating for peace.
All we were saying them "Let's give peace a chance"
Referencing the message of "Let's give peace a chance" from the song "Imagine."
Where was I when you stopped loving me?
Pondering the whereabouts and emotional state during the time when the person stopped loving the speaker.
When did I become history?
Reflecting on becoming a part of the past, no longer in the present.
There's not many things that escape my memory
Asserting a strong memory, except for the crucial moment when love faded.
Tell me where was I when you stopped loving me?
Repeating the inquiry about the specific time when love ceased.
Every 20,000 years that comet lights up the night
Describing a rare cosmic event, comparing it to a memorable shared experience under the night sky.
On a blanket we watched it sail across the sky
Recalling watching a comet on a blanket with someone special.
A moment like that comes it just once in life
Highlighting the uniqueness of such moments, emphasizing their scarcity.
It felt like our first time at 11:35
Evoking the feeling of a significant first-time experience at 11:35.
Where was I when you stopped loving me?
Repeating the question about the specific moment of love's end.
When did I become history?
Continuing to reflect on becoming a part of history due to the end of love.
There's not many things that escape my memory
Reiterating the strength of memory, except for the crucial moment of love's demise.
Tell me where was I when you stopped loving me?
Repeating the plea for information about the specific time love ended.
I remember when I met you, the taste of our first kiss
Recalling the taste of the first kiss with the person in question.
I remember your goodbye, but would you tell me this?
Prompting the person to reveal the circumstances surrounding the end of their love.
Where was I when you stopped loving me?
Repeating the central question about the specific time love ceased.
When did I become history?
Continuing to express the sense of becoming history due to the end of love.
There's not many things that escape my memory
Emphasizing the exceptional memory, except for the critical moment of love's termination.
Tell me where was I when you stopped loving me?
Reiterating the request for information about the specific time love came to an end.
