Lovers
Love's Evolution: A Tale of Lost Connection
Lyrics
Once they were lovers, but now they are not friends
Once they were in a romantic relationship, but now they are no longer on friendly terms.
She's found another, he says it's the end
She has found a new lover, and he acknowledges that their relationship has come to an end.
To think they once tore down a wall of a door
They used to overcome obstacles together, symbolized by tearing down a door, but that unity is gone.
Now they don't speak anymore
They have reached a point where communication has ceased between them.
So he walks the streets, the few nights he can stand
He roams the streets on the few nights he can tolerate, trying to cope with the memories.
Drinking her memory away when he can
He tries to drown the memories of their past with alcohol.
Friends once would reach out to them from the shore
Friends who used to support them are now distant, no longer reaching out.
Now they don't try anymore
Efforts to reconcile or maintain the friendship have dwindled; they don't make an attempt anymore.
How does it all come to happen
Reflecting on how their relationship deteriorated, questioning the reasons behind the breakup.
That's not what love is for and if I thought it was
Love is not meant for such painful endings, and the speaker contemplates leaving if that were the case.
I would leave you in the morning
Expressing a willingness to leave the relationship if it were defined by pain and heartbreak.
I'll sooner sleep on the floor
Choosing the hardship of sleeping on the floor over enduring a troubled relationship.
Oh, when will we learn really what loving is
Pondering when people will truly understand the essence of love.
Not what you get in return, but what you give
Love is about giving without expecting something in return, not about what one receives.
To think they once tore down a wall of a door
Reiterating the previous image of tearing down a door, emphasizing the loss of unity.
Now they don't speak anymore
They have reached a point where they no longer communicate with each other.
