Traces of Me
Whispers of Love and Liberation
Lyrics
Seen from the outside
Observing from an external perspective
into your dream
Entering your imagination or subconscious realm
it's funny how perfect it seems
Noting the contrast between an idealized perception and reality
What's now a whisper
A quiet expression now, previously a louder, more pronounced expression
once was a song
A metaphor for something significant that has diminished
a fire can only burn for so long
Recognizing that intense emotions fade with time
I am a fool, blame it on me
Admitting fault or responsibility
I don't know what I thought we could be
Expressing confusion about the potential of a relationship
To let go is a part of what it means to be free
Understanding that releasing attachments is a part of freedom
So I'll leave no traces, traces of me
Committing to leaving no enduring mark or influence
The memory of you will keep me high tonight
Expectation of reminiscing about the person with a sense of elevation
I'll Swallow a black pearl each time you cross my mind
Metaphorically swallowing pain or enduring difficulties associated with thoughts of the person
Your love might be poison and my weakness is a whore
Recognizing the potentially harmful nature of the person's love and vulnerability to it
Sometime it's not beauty, but the ugly we adore
Appreciating imperfections or darker aspects that hold allure
Stars are only shining when you watch them in the dark
Suggesting the dependency of certain things on observation or acknowledgment
Maybe I'll love you better if I do it from a-far
Contemplating loving someone better when distanced from them
I have tried so bad to put the thoughts of you behind
Struggling to remove thoughts or memories of the person
But you are still always ghosting in my mind
Continued presence of the person's influence in thoughts or consciousness despite efforts to move on
