Juliet
Lost Love Chronicles: Joshua Meijer's Melancholic Ode to Juliet
Lyrics
It's been long since I've seen your face and heard your voice
It has been a while since I last saw your face and heard your voice.
You left into the night without making a single noise
You departed quietly into the night without making any noise.
Yet there used to be, and you used to be someone
In the past, there used to be someone, and you used to be that person.
I thought I found a way through the corridor
I believed I had found a way forward, but I found myself facing an open door, feeling lost.
But there I was, staring blank at an open door
I was staring at an open door where you used to be present.
Where you used to be, when there used to be someone
Reflecting on a time when there used to be someone there, likely referring to the absence of the person.
Though I've tried, to steer you clear out my mind
Despite my efforts, I can't seem to remove you from my thoughts.
You're such a stain, and it gets worse in the rain
Your memory is persistent, and it's more intense during rainy times.
Juliet, it is true, we're all in love with you but you
Acknowledgment that many people are in love with Juliet, but she's elusive.
You ran like a ghost in the wind
Juliet departed swiftly, like a ghost carried away by the wind.
To a place where we cannot find
She went to a place where she cannot be located or reached.
You're out of sight, we're out of mind and so
She's out of sight, hence out of mind for those left behind.
Long live the one who can carry you home
Wishing longevity to the person who can bring Juliet back home.
Maybe I'm just a fool who has been stuck too long
Perhaps the singer feels foolish for waiting, assuming Juliet would stick around while something better appeared.
For thinking you would be around while something better came along
Expecting Juliet's presence despite the prospect of better opportunities.
Through the time, should've heard by the windchimes
There might have been signs in the windchimes indicating her departure.
Who'd've thought
Surprise at the unexpected turn of events.
Despite the aches that you brought
Despite the pain caused, there was a profound connection with Juliet.
You kissed my soul
Juliet's actions touched the singer's soul deeply.
Made me feel so at home
She made the singer feel incredibly comfortable and at home.
Juliet, it is true, we're all in love with you but you
Reiteration of many people loving Juliet despite her elusive nature.
You ran like a ghost in the wind
Juliet departed swiftly, resembling a ghost carried by the wind.
To a place where we cannot find
She disappeared to a place beyond reach.
You're out of sight, we're out of mind and so
She's no longer visible, making it easy to forget about her for those left behind.
Long live the one who can carry you home
Wishing longevity to the person who can bring Juliet back home.
And in the end I'm just a boy who can not stand the truth but
Admission of being unable to accept the truth about Juliet's departure.
I'll paint my smiles on any other who will tell me that you've
The singer will pretend to be happy if someone claims that Juliet has found contentment elsewhere.
Happily, found a place to be someone
Hoping that Juliet has finally found a place where she can be herself.
Juliet, it is true, we're all in love with you but you
Again, acknowledging the collective admiration for Juliet despite her absence.
You ran like a ghost in the wind
Reiteration of Juliet's swift departure akin to a ghost carried away by the wind.
To a place where we cannot find
She's in a place unreachable to those left behind.
You're out of sight, we're out of mind and so
She's out of sight and out of mind for those who remain.
Long live the one who can carry you home
Wishing longevity to the person who can bring Juliet back home.
Long live the one who can carry you home
Repeating the desire for someone to bring Juliet back home.
