Late December
Late December's Haunting Echoes
Lyrics
Days spent dreaming
Reflecting on days filled with dreams
Make the nights vivid truth in the dark
Those dreams make the nights vivid, revealing truths in the darkness
I've gone and dried out all my fantasies
Abandoning fanciful thoughts and desires
So you infect my bad dreams, make your mark
Someone, possibly negative, influences disturbing dreams
Only then I see you as a boy
Seeing the person as a boy, perhaps immature or naive
Using words that should be my forewarning
The person uses warning words, not heeded
And at dawn that image takes your glory
At dawn, the negative image overshadows the person's glory
Close my eyes, I'll forget by the morning
Trying to forget the negative influence by closing eyes
But each time I do I lose the thought of you
Each attempt to forget leads to losing the memory of the person
Who you are becomes a blur
The person's identity becomes unclear or blurred
But unless that's true I just can't love you
Unable to love unless the blurred identity is true
I might have known that from the start
Realization that this might have been known from the beginning
Even if deep in my heart
Even if deep in the heart, there's recognition
Mmm
Expression of emotion
No it's not just a one night occurrence
Confirming it's not a one-time event
Close my eyes, and you're there till the end
The person remains in the dream until the end
But a new dream stuck with me this Sunday
A new impactful dream, possibly related to a specific Sunday
Where the air was so crisp and so cold
Describing the atmosphere of the dream in late December
It was late December
The specific time mentioned, possibly significant
Pounding steps, you turned around
Recalling a moment with intense emotions and actions
Held your eyes to the ground
Intense eye contact, possibly communication
So my shouts just
Shouts become frozen, communication breakdown
Turned to ice stuck in my throat
Feeling silenced or unable to express
Had my hands in the air
Vulnerable with hands in the air, exposed
I know you don't care
Awareness that the person may not care
Was that just late December
Repetition of late December, emphasizing the moment
Pounding steps, you turned around
Similar scenario as in line 20, repeated for emphasis
Held your eyes to the ground
Repeating eye contact and ground gaze
So my shouts just
Reiteration of shouts turning to ice, communication breakdown
Turned to ice stuck in my throat
Repeating the feeling of a frozen throat
Had my fists in the air
Repetition of raised fists, expressing frustration
I've always known you don't care
Emphasizing the knowledge that the person doesn't care
Why did you say it
Pondering the reason behind hurtful words
Why did you say
Repeated questioning, seeking understanding
Why did you say it
Continued questioning, expressing confusion
Why did you say
Repetition of the questioning, deepening the impact
Why did you say it
Continued inquiry into the motive behind hurtful words
Why did you say
Reiteration of the questioning, intensifying the emotional impact
Why did you say it
Continued search for understanding behind the hurtful words
Why did you say
Final repetition of the questioning, emphasizing the need for an explanation
