Aubade
Vanishing Love: Decoding Memories in Aubade
Lyrics
I walked into a darkened room
I entered a dimly lit room
And found you in the corner waiting
Discovered you in a corner, anticipating
Deciphering the stars
Trying to interpret the stars
But lost amongst the laughs
However, amidst laughter, feeling lost
You vanished through the smoke of a memory
You disappeared, obscured by a memory's haze
As December nights grow cold
As the nights of December turn colder
I surrender the songs that kept your kisses whole
I let go of the songs that once preserved the purity of your kisses
How our love disappears
Reflecting on how our love fades away
There is smoke in your tears
Smoke resides in your tears
And the fire has already burnt out
The fire of passion has already extinguished
It always goes the same way
This pattern always repeats
You offer me love
You extend love to me
I push it away
I reject it
When I come back it's too late
Upon my return, it's too late
There are words that still remain
Some words linger, unresolved
We were a tangle of naked bones
We were entangled, exposed and vulnerable
I wanted you close
I desired closeness, though aware you'd depart
But knew you'd leave me
Like an inexpensive perfume, you left me
Like a cheap perfume
Was I there to dispel the lonely truth of your nights?
Was I there to diffuse
Did I serve as a distraction?
The lonely truth of your evenings
Sang numerous songs
Sang countless songs
To empty rooms, hoping you were listening
To empty rooms
No emotion reflected in your eyes
In hope you might be listening
I needed to understand what was absent
There was no emotion in your eyes
This pattern always repeats
But I needed to know what was missing
You offer me love
It always goes the same way
I push it away
You offer me love
Upon my return, it's too late
I push it away
Some words remain, unresolved
When I come back it's too late
This pattern always repeats
There are words that still remain
Some words linger, unresolved
