la douleur exquise
Echoes of Pain and Longing: John & Jace's Melancholic Reflections
Lyrics
Hey there Sally, tell me how you've been
Asking Sally about her well-being
It's been three years since we've last met
Noticed three years since last meeting
Do you still have all those crazy dreams
Asking if Sally still has ambitious dreams
All those thought of you and me you see
Reflecting on shared thoughts between them
I miss you dearly
Expressing deep longing and affection
Tell me how is your husband and kid
Inquiring about Sally's family
How's my life honestly it's been pretty shit
Describing own life as challenging
I take these pills to numb the pain
Admitting to using pills to cope with pain
It just all stays the same to me
Feeling that everything remains unchanged
So damn lonely
Expressing profound loneliness
What do I even do
Expressing confusion about how to be treated
To be treated so cruel
Questioning the cruelty experienced
Ohh, why do you even stay just to go abuse me
Expressing confusion about an abusive relationship
Ohh, I don't understand your ways
Expressing difficulty in understanding the partner's behavior
It gives me so much agony
Feeling immense emotional pain
Ohh, I can't even understand
Expressing inability to comprehend the situation
Why can't someone just love me
Yearning for someone to love
Hey there father tell me how you've been
Inquiring about the father's well-being
It's been a while since we've talked in heaven
Noting a significant time gap since communication
Are you still really proud of me
Asking if the father is still proud despite past mistakes
After all these awful things I did
Reflecting on regrettable actions involving drugs
All the drugs and shit
(Blank line, no specific content)
I don't want to be like you
Rejecting the idea of doing harmful actions
Do these terrible things you do
Rejecting the facade of claiming everything is okay
I don't want to fake and say
Feeling stressed and in need of rest
That everything will be ok
Expressing inability to sleep
Ohh, don't you see all this stress
Feeling overwhelmed by stress
I can't help I want some rest
Desiring rest due to exhaustion
No, I cant sleep
Expressing difficulty sleeping
No, I cant think
Experiencing mental blockage
I just want to go and dream
Desiring an escape through dreaming
They say everything will be just fine
Repeating the common reassurance that things will be fine
They say everything will be just fine
Repeating the assurance of a positive outcome
Will it be, Will it be
Expressing uncertainty about the promised improvement
I don't know what to think
Expressing confusion and doubt
What do I even do
Expressing confusion about how to be treated (repeated)
To be treated the way I do
Questioning the undeserved treatment (repeated)
Why do I even stay
Questioning the decision to stay in a challenging situation
I cry out all these damn days
Expressing continuous emotional distress
No, I can't sleep
Reiterating the inability to sleep
No, I can't think
Reiterating the difficulty in thinking
You were really all i need
Acknowledging the importance of the person
But how can I have you
Expressing the impossibility of having the person
You've already left me
Acknowledging loss and abandonment
