AGAIN
Eternal Recurrence: A Melodic Tale of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Softly it echoes and scratches the wall
There's a subtle sound reverberating and marking the surface.
Time in a teacup as love comes to call
Time is a contained entity while love makes its presence felt.
Box cars and spray paint, graffiti that stains
Urban imagery with graffiti leaving lasting marks.
A crossword, a lost word, it's happening again
A puzzle or a forgotten word resurfaces, indicating a repetitive occurrence.
The meadow is wet with the fresh morning mist
A serene setting dampened by conflict between adversaries.
The hunter and the black knight draw swords with their fists
A conflict or battle depicted between symbolic figures.
The shadow of death speaks as if to explain
A presence or entity explaining the inevitability of death.
They're killing themselves, yes, it's happening again
Self-destructive behavior recurring.
The teardrops dried up, the parade passed on through
Emotions have settled, but events continue to unfold.
Glitter soaked sidewalks met the cold evening dew
Glitz and glamour fade in the face of reality.
As the street sweeper danced with his broom in the rain
A mundane task performed amidst unfavorable conditions.
A polka, a damp waltz, it's happening again
A dance or activity despite a dampened atmosphere, signifying repetition.
White knights are riding through forests of black
Contrasting forces engaged in a struggle.
She promised a lifetime and she can't take it back
Broken promises and irreversible commitments.
An elf on a moonbeam slides down with the flame
A fantastical figure descending amid destruction.
A slight pause, a lost cause, it's happening again
A pause leading to a hopeless situation, repeating cyclically.
The king's bounty hunter is mounting his steed
A figure of authority preparing for a pursuit.
He rides past the princess, his heart starts to bleed
An emotional response triggered by encountering someone important.
She writes from the tower, until dawn dries her pen
Communication continuing despite futile efforts.
A blank verse, a dry curse, it's happening again
An empty expression or communication of despair, repeating.
The teardrops dried up, the parade passed on through
Reiteration of emotions settling while events progress.
Glitter soaked sidewalks met the cold evening dew
Similar imagery from earlier, emphasizing continuity.
As the street sweeper danced with his broom in the rain
Repetition of mundane tasks in unfavorable conditions.
A polka, a damp waltz, it's happening again
Similar activities or dances amidst dampened surroundings, recurring.
Icy black skies and a glimpse of the past
A glimpse into the past amidst dark and foreboding circumstances.
They seal up their hearts in a white plaster cast
Guarding emotions behind a facade despite losing more than gaining.
Break the mold and admit that they lose what they gain
Admission of repetitive patterns leading to loss despite efforts.
A tired phrase, a strange maze, it's happening again
A phrase or situation repeated, forming a complex and recurring pattern.
Moisture and moonbeams escape when they're dry
Escape of essential elements when not needed.
The hole in his soul and the loss in her eye
Emptiness felt by both individuals.
A willow weeps silent for what might have been
A symbol of mourning for missed opportunities.
In a place called tomorrow, it's happening again
A future scenario that mirrors past events, repeating cyclically.
The teardrops flow fresh on the faces of clowns
Despite joyous celebrations, sadness persists.
Balloons and fresh flowers still parade through the towns
Celebrations continue despite recurring cycles.
While all of these lovers fall asleep in the glen
Lovers unaware or passive as events repeat, unable to rectify.
Too late to awake, they've let it happen again
A realization of events occurring too late to change.
