Tears In Rain
Ephemeral Longing: Kate Havnevik's Haunting Tale of Love and Loss
Lyrics
And all that you wanted
All desires and aspirations you had
All that you had
Everything you possessed or achieved
Gone in a moment
Lost suddenly and unexpectedly
Gone out of hand
Slipped out of control
Both you and I know
Both individuals acknowledge that silence is valuable
That silence is gold
Emphasizing the value of silence
All I ever wanted
The only desire was to experience love
Was to be loved
A yearning for affection
You're smoking in shadows
Engaging in harmful behavior while concealed
Gasping for air
Struggling for breath in a difficult situation
Kicking and shouting
Reacting vehemently, but it won't lead to a solution
Won't get us there
No progress will come from fighting and yelling
Both you and I know
Both parties recognize the loss of control
We're losing control
The acknowledgment of losing grip on the situation
All you ever wanted
The primary desire was to receive love
Was to be loved
An echoing sentiment of longing for love
Now I'm starting over
Beginning anew, free from impurities and injustices
All clean and fair
Embracing a fresh start with purity
No medication
No external remedy can guide the speaker to their destination
Will take me there
Medication won't lead to the desired outcome
Both you and I know
Both parties understand that this story has been recounted
This tale has been told
An acknowledgment that the tale has been told before
All we ever wanted
The ultimate desire was to experience love
Was to be loved
Reiterating the deep longing for love
Love and devotion
Love and commitment are often misunderstood
So misunderstood
Misinterpretations of love and devotion
Forcing and pushing
Forcing and pressuring won't yield positive results
Will do no good
Actions of coercion won't lead to a positive outcome
These salty pearls
Tears, symbolized by salty pearls, won't be witnessed
Will never be seen
Tears will fall to the ground and merge into the stream
They'll hit the ground
The impact of tears hitting the ground
And melt into the stream
Tears will dissolve into the flowing stream
Gone
Repeated emphasis on the loss or disappearance
Gone
Reiteration of the theme of disappearance
Gone
Emphasizing the irreversible nature of the loss
Gone
Stressing the finality of the disappearance
Go with the stream
Allowing oneself to follow the natural course
And we will go invisible
The process of becoming unseen and unheard
And quiet disappear
A quiet and unobtrusive departure
Like tears in rain
Comparing the disappearance to tears in the rain
Yes, we will go
A gradual and inconspicuous departure
Slowly and quiet
A slow and unnoticeable fading away
Just disappear
Just like tears in the rain, disappearing without a trace
Like tears in rain
Reiteration of the metaphorical comparison to tears in rain
