Used to Feel Before
Rediscovering Love's Echo in "Used to Feel Before
Lyrics
It seems that there is something,
There is an apparent issue or concern.
Something I should know
There is information that the speaker feels they should be aware of.
But I don't want to ask you
The speaker is hesitant to directly inquire about the issue.
Ask you what I'm supposed to do
Expressing reluctance to ask what actions are expected of them.
You say that I don't treat you
The listener claims a change in the speaker's treatment.
That way I used to do before
Recognition of a deviation from the past behavior in the relationship.
That I am only running away
Acknowledging that the speaker tends to avoid confrontations or responsibilities.
Every time when you want me to stay
Admitting to a pattern of running away instead of staying when needed.
Chorus:
Chorus introduction, expressing the desire to love like a sailor loves the sea.
I wanna love you
Explicitly stating the desire to love the listener.
Like the sailor loves the sea
Comparing the intensity of the desired love to a sailor's love for the sea.
I really want to but please let me be
Pleading for freedom or space despite the desire to love.
'n' I got so much things on my mind
Indicating a preoccupation with various thoughts.
And you know that I can't waste any time
Emphasizing the importance of not wasting time.
(end chorus)
End of the chorus.
I wanna make you feel something
Expressing a desire to evoke familiar emotions in the listener.
That you used to feel before
Reiterating the wish to recreate past feelings.
I know we've got our problems
Acknowledging existing problems in the relationship.
But fighting don't make any sense
Claiming that fighting is not a productive solution.
'n' I don't think that I'm so bad
Denying a significant level of wrongdoing on the speaker's part.
That you should be so, so sad
Asserting that the listener should not be excessively sad.
Chorus
Repeat of the chorus.
