Until You Were Gone
Discovering Love's Echoes: Unveiling the Depths of 'Until You Were Gone'
Lyrics
I didn't know I was in love with you
I was unaware of being in love with you.
Until you were gone
Realized the depth of my feelings only after you left.
I was just lonely, I just needed someone
Initially, I felt lonely and sought companionship.
To share my nights with, to turn me on
Needed someone to spend nights with and ignite passion.
I didn't know I was in love with you
Reiterating the realization of love after your departure.
Until you were gone
Emphasizing the impact of your absence on my awareness.
I am not heartless, I am not thoughtless
Asserting that I am not without feelings, though not perfect.
But I can be careless as a child
Admitting the potential for carelessness akin to a child.
I can blow caution in a smoke ring
Expressing a tendency to disregard caution and venture into the unknown.
And disappear into the wild
Willingness to disappear into unconventional experiences.
But I didn't know about silence
Noticing the absence of silence in my life only after you left.
Until you were gone
Referring to the conclusion of a significant chapter in our relationship.
The last show's over, the curtain is drawn
Describing the end of a performance or phase with a metaphorical curtain closing.
I never saw so many sunsets, I never saw a single dawn
Regretting the missed opportunities to witness sunrises and sunsets together.
I didn't know about silence
Reiterating the unawareness of the value of silence until it was gone.
Until you were gone
The record you gave me
Referring to a musical gift symbolizing the connection between the couple.
I put it on
Acting on the gift by playing the record.
The needle didn't jump this time, it played the whole song
Noticing the uninterrupted playback of the song, signifying stability.
It sang about all, it cried about none
Reflecting on the emotional content of the song.
I didn't know I was in love with you
Reiterating the realization of love through the act of playing the record.
Until you were gone.
Stressing the impact of your absence on my awareness through repetition.
