Five Roses
Navigating Solitude: Echoes of Love, Loss, and Seasonal Longing
Lyrics
Waking up slowly
Expressing the gradual process of waking up.
Drowning in worry
Feeling overwhelmed by concerns and anxieties.
The snow falls slowly outside
Observing the slow descent of snow outside.
Breathing down your neck
Sensing a close presence or pressure, possibly symbolic of stress or tension.
I'm watching love's violence
Witnessing the destructive force of love and enduring silent suffering.
And suffering silently now
Reflecting on emotional pain without vocalizing it.
Spandau-like poses
Referring to postures reminiscent of the band Spandau Ballet, possibly symbolizing dramatic or theatrical poses.
Sky flashes five roses
Noticing a celestial display represented by five roses in the sky.
Been days since I've opened my mouth
Highlighting a period of silence or withdrawal from communication.
Lights line the street
Describing illuminated street lights.
Bay windows, their trees
Referring to bay windows and trees, possibly indicating a familiar but empty environment.
Still missing the holidays
Expressing the absence and longing for past holiday seasons.
How?

Where do I go?

Where do I go?

A life with a view
Reflecting on a life with a scenic view that separated the speaker from a loved one.
It took me from you

And left me alone so I stay on the move
Choosing to remain on the move to cope with loneliness.
But this time of year
Noting the emotional significance of a particular time of year.
It draws me to you
Feeling a pull towards a person during a specific season.
Don't know what that means

But I'll see you soon
Anticipating a reunion with the loved one.
Where do I go?
