Dear Diary
Nocturnal Reflections: Love's Departure in 'Dear Diary'
Lyrics
Laying in bed at night
Facing the contemplation of
Aced with the thought of
Waking up without you here
Worrying about waking up without the person
Lying by my side
Who used to lie beside me
Dear diary I'm writing down...
Expressing thoughts in a diary
Now I'll fall asleep to wake and find
Anticipating waking up to discover
That I had written down all of my dream
That the dreams were recorded
Is it because you're perfect? or because I'm not
Questioning whether perfection or imperfection is the cause
Not more sleeping, I'm through with dreaming, I have no reason
Rejecting sleep and dreams, feeling purposeless
With out you
Highlighting the emptiness without the person
Soon the stars will fade away
Anticipating the fading of stars
Then morning will break
Followed by the arrival of morning
With our last kiss all I could taste was goodbye
Recalling the last kiss and the taste of goodbye
Everyday feels the same
Expressing the monotony of everyday life
A boy walking in the shadow of a man
Describing oneself as a boy in the shadow of a man
That you wanted me to be
Reflecting on the expectations placed
So what's the point in talking
Questioning the purpose of talking
When all we do is fight
Highlighting the prevalence of conflicts
And what's the point in trying now
Expressing futility in trying
When you're always right
When the other person always asserts rightness
is it because you're perfect? or because I'm not
Questioning whether perfection or imperfection is the cause
Not more sleeping, I'm through with dreaming, I have no reason
Rejecting sleep and dreams, feeling purposeless
With out you
Emphasizing the emptiness without the person
Soon the stars will fade away
Anticipating the fading of stars
Then morning will break
Followed by the arrival of morning
With our last kiss all I could taste was goodbye
Recalling the last kiss and the taste of goodbye
Torn out pages on my bed
Describing torn pages on the bed
Broken hearts that will not mend
Referring to unhealed broken hearts
Bottled thoughts up in my head
Mentioning bottled thoughts in the mind
And this is where the story ends
Indicating the conclusion of the story
Good night dear diary
Bidding farewell to the diary
