East West
A Year of Resilience: Julia Fordham's Journey Beyond Heartbreak
Lyrics
It's been a whole year since your call
Reflecting on a year since receiving a significant call
The one that started
Referring to the call that initiated the revelation of not loving anymore
I don't love you anymore
Expressing the end of romantic feelings
I thought I'd surely not survive
Feeling initially unable to cope with the emotional impact
But here I am, I'm still alive, 365 days later
Survived a year since the call, still alive
Going strong, holding on
Emphasizing resilience and strength to continue
Trying to find a place where I belong
Searching for a sense of belonging
I've been east, I've been west
Traveled both east and west metaphorically
But I'm still not over you yet
Not fully recovered from the emotional impact
I'm still not over you yet, no no
Reiteration of not being over the past relationship
The weeks and months blend into one
Time seems blurred, months and weeks blending
A bleary haze, fall, winter
Describing a hazy period, possibly symbolic of emotional confusion
Now spring has begun
Transition to spring symbolizes renewal and hope
Bringing fresh hope to my door
Hope for a fresh start after the difficult period
I'll be the girl I was before you took back
Commitment to rediscover oneself post-relationship
The precious gift you gave to me
Reflecting on a lost gift, possibly love
Going strong, holding on
Continuing to endure and hold on
Trying to find a place where I belong
Seeking a sense of belonging and purpose
I've been east, I've been west
Metaphorical journey east and west continues
But I'm still not over you yet
Reiterating the lingering emotional impact
I'm still not over you yet, no no
Stating the persistent struggle with moving on
And after all is said and done
Reflecting on the aftermath of the relationship
And written up (written in the stars above)
Acknowledging destiny or fate
The radio's singing songs of love
Reference to love songs on the radio, not resonating with the narrator
But not for us
Realizing the songs of love are not applicable to their situation
Not for us
Emphasizing the lack of love in the narrator's current state
Going strong, holding on
Perseverance and endurance continue
Trying to find a place where I belong
Continued search for a sense of belonging and purpose
I've been east, I've been west
Symbolic journey east and west persists
But I'm still not over you yet
Reiterating the lingering emotional impact
I'm still not over you yet, no no
Persisting struggle with moving on emotionally
East west, east west, 365
Repetition of the east-west journey and surviving a year
Here I am, I'm still alive
Emphasizing survival and resilience
