I Wish I Could Say
Reflections on Loneliness and Freedom
Lyrics
Just because it's comfortable
Reflecting on the comfort of a situation
Only this and nothing more
Emphasizing that the comfort is the only aspect, nothing more
And while you easily fall asleep next to your company
Observing someone easily falling asleep next to companions
I think how there are much worse things than lonely
Contemplating that loneliness may not be as bad as other things
Not much feels as wonderful
Expressing the wonderful feeling of giving up and letting go
As giving up and letting go
Acknowledging the joy in surrendering
And while the spoils might fill the need
Recognizing that material gains may satisfy a need
It isn't worth it when they're cheap
Questioning the worthiness of cheap or easily attained gains
And if it weren't for me you'd know it
Asserting the speaker's role in understanding the situation
Nevermind, can't explain what I don't understand
Expressing difficulty in explaining what is not understood
I've been blinded
Admitting to being blinded, possibly by emotions or circumstances
And I wish I could say it won't happen again
Expressing a desire for things not to repeat, a form of regret
Even if it's possible
Doubting if the current situation is truly sufficient
I'm not convinced I've had enough
Not convinced that the speaker has experienced enough
And while this freedom isn't free
Acknowledging that freedom has a cost
What's more valuable to be?
Pondering the value of different experiences
If this were my dreams we'd own it
Imagining a scenario where dreams come true
Nevermind, can't explain what I don't understand
Reiterating the difficulty in explaining what is not understood
I've been blinded
Reiterating the feeling of being blinded, possibly metaphorical
And I wish I could say it won't happen again
Expressing a recurring wish for things not to happen again
Nevermind, can't explain what I don't understand
Reiterating the challenge of explaining the unknown
I've been blinded
Reiterating a sense of being blinded or unaware
And I wish I could say it won't happen again
Expressing a persistent wish for a repeated negative event to cease
