Not Long for This World
Ephemeral Echoes: Unveiling the Fragility of Love
Lyrics
We're not long for this world
We have a limited time in this world.
We're not long for this world
Reiteration of the transient nature of our existence.
And the way I can tell is
The speaker perceives the impermanence, and this perception is based on a deep understanding.
I know you too well
The speaker's familiarity with the listener allows them to sense the inevitable end.
We're not long for this world
Reiteration of the idea that life is fleeting.
I know the words that you say
The speaker is attentive to both spoken and unspoken words.
And the words that you mean
The sincerity of words is acknowledged and understood.
And I remember the days
Recollection of a time when the listener held significant meaning.
When you meant everything
Highlighting a period when the listener was crucial in the speaker's life.
We're not long for this world
Repetition of the assertion that our time in this world is short.
We're not long for this world
Reiteration for emphasis on life's transience.
And the way I can tell is
Reaffirmation of the speaker's ability to discern the brevity of life based on knowledge.
I know you too well
The speaker's deep understanding of the listener reinforces the awareness of life's fleeting nature.
We're not long for this world
Restating the idea that life is ephemeral.
You hold me close in your arms
The listener provides physical comfort, yet an emotional disconnect is felt.
And I feel the cold
The emotional coldness contrasts with the physical closeness.
Oh, but you never meant any harm
The listener's intentions were not harmful, despite deceptive actions.
By the lies that you told
The lies spoken by the listener did not carry malicious intent.
We're not long for this world
Reiteration of the limited time in this world, emphasizing its inevitability.
We're not long for this world
Emphasizing once again the fleeting nature of our existence.
And the way I can tell is
Reaffirmation of the speaker's ability to discern life's brevity.
I know you too well
The deep understanding of the listener intensifies the awareness of life's transient quality.
We're not long for this world
Repetition of the idea that life is short-lived.
Yes, the way I can tell is
Underlining the speaker's ability to perceive life's transience based on profound knowledge.
I know you too well
The listener's character and actions are deeply understood by the speaker, reinforcing the awareness of life's brevity.
We're not long for this world
Final confirmation of the limited time in this world based on the speaker's intimate knowledge of the listener.
