Radio Silence
Echoes of Longing: Joey Laderer's Radio Silence Unveiled
Lyrics
Why'd you have to go away
Expressing sadness and questioning the departure of someone.
I just don't know what to say anymore
Feeling at a loss for words, struggling to articulate emotions.
I haven't heard your voice in a while, it feels strange
Not hearing the person's voice for a while, creating a sense of unfamiliarity.
Because my feelings haven't changed
Despite time passing, emotions remain constant.
I just miss the way you smile
Nostalgia for the person's smiling face.
How you'd go the extra mile for me
Remembering and appreciating the person's efforts and sacrifices.
All the hours on the phone so we would never be alone
Recalling the time spent on the phone to avoid loneliness.
I hope that you're okay, 'cause I just miss those days
Expressing concern for the well-being of the other person and longing for the past.
This radio silence leaves a hole inside my heart
Describing the emotional impact of the lack of communication.
It's eating my conscience, cutting love off at the start
Conveying the negative effect of silence on love, hindering its development.
Though I know I'll never have you by my side again
Accepting the reality that the person won't be a romantic partner again.
I hope you'll be a friend
Expressing a desire for friendship despite the changed circumstances.
I hope that this won't have to be the end
Expressing hope that the current situation is not the definitive end.
I haven't kissed you in so long
Longing for physical intimacy, specifically kissing.
And without you, it feels so wrong
Feeling a sense of wrongness in life without the person.
So I write my pain away, 'cause there's nothing I can say
Using songwriting as an outlet for emotional pain due to the inability to speak.
So I put it in a song, I put it in this song
Turning emotions into a song to express inner turmoil.
Half of me is dead and gone, left behind ripped from my heart
Feeling a significant part of oneself is lost and in pain.
I know it's right but it feels wrong, can't move on
Acknowledging that moving on is challenging despite knowing it's the right thing.
If I ever feel for someone else, it feels like I'm cheating on you
Experiencing guilt or emotional conflict when considering feelings for someone else.
Eats me up inside because I know the truth
The inner struggle and emotional turmoil caused by the silence.
This radio silence leaves a hole inside my heart
Reiterating the emotional impact of the silence on the heart.
It's eating my conscience, cutting love off at the start
Highlighting the destructive nature of silence on the beginning of love.
Though I know I'll never have you by my side again
Acceptance of the permanent absence of the person from a romantic context.
I hope you'll be a friend
Expressing a desire for friendship despite the changed circumstances.
I hope that this won't have to be the end
Expressing hope that the current situation is not the definitive end.
Dance with me, one more time
Requesting one last dance as a form of connection or closure.
Just come stand with me, look in my eyes darling
Inviting the person to stand together and share a meaningful gaze.
Dance with me, one more time
Repeating the desire for one last dance and connection.
Just come stand with me, look in my eyes darling
Reiterating the invitation to stand together and share a meaningful gaze.
Dance with me, just one more time
Yearning for one final dance as a symbolic act of closure.
