Feelings
Navigating Love's Departure: Ken Hensley's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
Feelings, empty feelings
Expressing feelings of emptiness and emotional void.
Prayin', hopin', needin'
Engaging in prayer, hope, and need, possibly seeking emotional fulfillment.
Just when I wanted to hold you
Expressing a desire to hold someone just when they are about to leave.
You're leavin', you're leavin'
Emphasizing the act of departure or abandonment.
Leavin', you're leavin'
Repetition of the theme of departure, reinforcing the emotional impact.
I remember those magic nights
Recalling past magical nights, possibly filled with joy and connection.
Those nights when it
Reflecting on nights when everything seemed right.
All seemed right
Expressing a contrast between the magical nights and the impending separation.
But I knew that by mornin'
Awareness that the positive moments will be overshadowed by the impending departure.
You'd be gone
An expectation that the person will leave by morning.
And though you tell me
Acknowledging the person's assurance that the departure is temporary.
That it's not for long
Despite assurances, expressing difficulty in holding on emotionally.
It ain't easy here holdin' on
Conveying the emotional challenge of maintaining the relationship.
You gotta tell me where I stand
Requesting clarity on the current status of the relationship.
'cause either you don't give a damn
Suspecting a lack of genuine concern or care from the other person.
Or you don't even care to pretend
Suggesting a possibility that the other person may not be sincere or is pretending.
Or you won't spare a thought
Implying a lack of consideration for the emotional impact of the situation.
Though you know
Recognizing the inevitable end of the relationship.
It must come to an end
Acknowledging the necessity of closure.
You'd better know that
Asserting a firm decision to move on.
I've made up my mind
Confirming a commitment to a different emotional experience.
I gotta high of a different kind
Expressing a heightened emotional state or euphoria.
And it's gonna take me
Believing that this elevated emotion will lead to a desired destination.
Where I wanna be
Anticipating a positive outcome despite the emotional challenge.
Sure i'll miss ya but I gotta choose
Acknowledging the difficulty of leaving but emphasizing the necessity of choice.
You can't believe that
Challenging the belief that the person came into the situation to lose.
I came here to lose
Rejecting the idea that the speaker is a loser in this context.
And you ain't a winner
Asserting that the other person is not a winner in the situation.
That's easy to see
Indicating that the other person's lack of victory is evident.
So i'll see you around or i'll write
Hinting at the possibility of encountering the person in the future.
And i'll send you some love
Committing to sending positive feelings and love despite the separation.
'cause where I wanna go
Expressing the inevitability of moving on to a new phase in life.
There ain't nothing to do but move
Highlighting the lack of activities in the current location, emphasizing the need to move.
