Eavesdrop: Unveiling the Silent Symphony of Doubt and Longing
Lyrics
Not every tear finds its way out
Some tears aren't expressed or shed outwardly.
In a heaven where you wander about
Describes a heavenly or idealized place where someone roams.
I so wish I could believe, but I am so racked with doubt
The speaker desires to believe but is heavily plagued by uncertainty.
Not every tear finds its way out
Repetition emphasizing that not all tears are released or seen.
Not every tear finds its way out
-Not every tear finds its way
-No
Strong negation, perhaps rejecting an idea or request.
Call down from your elysian meadows and I will lend my entirety too
Willingness to offer everything in response to a call from the mentioned heavenly place.
Even if that choice destroys every piece of me, at least it will set a tear free
Willingness to sacrifice oneself if it means releasing a tear.
A tear free
Repetition emphasizing the desire for a tear to be set free.
A tear free
-A tear free
-Though it couldn't ever be
Recognition that a certain situation or desire can never materialize.
As your voice went with a final exhalation caught on a dulcet breeze many suns ago
Describes the departure of a voice long ago with a gentle and pleasing breeze.
A woe to a man with no body but his own
A sorrowful state for a person confined within their own body.
To embrace
Repetition emphasizing a longing for an embrace.
To embrace
-To embrace
-How I yearn to see that face in whatever place it radiates
Strong desire to see the person's face in any place it shines.
Anywhere but this noisome city among beings that I pity and that do surely pity me
Discomfort in a noisy city among beings who evoke pity and reciprocate the feeling.
How I yearn, how I yearn to see your lips
Intense longing to see the lips of the person, remembering their unique expression.
Oh, see your lips
-And the way, and the way they did pout
-Not every tear, not every tear finds its way out
Repeated emphasis that not all tears find their way out or are expressed.
Not every tear, not every tear finds its way out
-Not every tear finds its way out
-Not every tear finds its way out
-Its way out
Reiteration that not every tear is released.
