First Impressions
Yearning Echoes: Julia Nunes' Melodic Plea for Nighttime Solace
Lyrics
I've gotten used, to being introduced
I've become accustomed to being introduced to new people
hello, whats your name, how are you
People commonly greet me with questions like "hello, what's your name, how are you"
they see my smile, my laugh and the hurt behind my eyes
Despite my outwardly positive demeanor, others can perceive the pain hidden in my eyes
loss is not so easily disguised
The experience of loss is not easily concealed
I'll try my best to keep on with my sunny disposition
I'll make an effort to maintain a cheerful attitude
but I close my eyes and end up reminiscing
However, when I close my eyes, I find myself dwelling on past memories
so save me from waking up tonight, save me from waking up tonight
Plea for help to avoid the emotional pain of waking up tonight
'cause I toss, and I turn and it doesn't feel right
Expressing discomfort through restlessness and unease
save me from waking up tonight
Reiteration of the plea to be saved from the emotional turmoil of waking up
Left to my own devices
When left to my own choices or habits
I'd stay up till 3 am
I would stay awake until 3 am
spend the whole day barely awake, and then do it all again
A pattern of spending the day in a drowsy state and repeating it
'cause my dreams are filled with pleasantries that make me think your here with me
Dreams are filled with pleasant scenarios, creating an illusion of your presence
they won't let my poor heart mend
These dreams hinder the healing of my wounded heart
I have tried my darnedest to continue smiling wide
Despite efforts, I struggle to maintain a wide, genuine smile
but I miss you and thats something I can't hide
Admission of missing someone and inability to hide that feeling
so save me from waking up tonight, please save me from waking up tonight
A desperate plea to be saved from the emotional turmoil of the night
I thought I was fine, but it looks as if I might not make it through the night
Despite thinking I was fine, it appears I may not survive the night emotionally
so save me from waking up tonight, please save me from waking up tonight
Repetition of the plea to be saved from the emotional turmoil of waking up
'cause I toss and I turn and it doesn't feel right
Expressing discomfort through restlessness and unease again
please save me from waking up tonight
Final plea to be saved from the emotional pain of waking up tonight
