Love's Struggle: A Soul's Cry in the Night
Lyrics
All night I'm thinking about you
All night, the speaker is consumed by thoughts of someone special.
They want to keep me from you
External forces or people are trying to keep the speaker away from the person they are thinking about.
There’s nowhere else to run to
Feeling trapped or having no alternative places to escape to.
All night I’m thinking about you
Reiteration of the speaker's preoccupation with thoughts of the person throughout the night.
There’s times I blame it on you
Occasional blame is placed on the person being thought about.
No one to find out if true
No one is around to verify if the blame is justified or true.
I know the answer is you
Despite the uncertainties, the speaker believes that the answer to their feelings lies with this person.
Tell me how’d you know
The speaker seeks an explanation from the person being thought about.
Baby how’d you know
A repeated plea for understanding and insight from the person.
You let me carry on
The person allowed the speaker to continue their thoughts and feelings.
Don’t let me carry on
An appeal to the person to prevent the speaker from continuing certain actions or thoughts.
Oh why did you let me disrespect you
The speaker expresses regret for disrespecting the person and questions why they were allowed to do so.
I admit to
The speaker confesses to their actions.
To say, you’re the one
A declaration that the person being thought about is the one for the speaker.
Let me carry on
A repetition of the permission or allowance to continue thoughts and feelings.
Let me carry on
Reiteration of the plea to be allowed to continue.
I put my focus on you
The speaker directed their attention solely towards the person being thought about.
These thoughts weigh heavy on you
The burdensome thoughts and feelings have an impact on the person being thought about.
I made it all about you
The speaker acknowledges making everything about the person being thought about.
Now I stand in the same place I found you
The speaker finds themselves in the same emotional state or situation as when they first encountered the person.
Your heart deserted me and now I can’t remember you
The person's heart has abandoned the speaker, leading to forgetfulness on the speaker's part.
Tell me how’d you know
Repetition of the earlier plea for understanding and insight from the person.
Baby how’d you know
Continuation of the plea for insight from the person.
You let me carry on
Reiteration of the permission or allowance to continue thoughts and feelings.
Don’t let me carry on
Renewed plea to prevent the speaker from continuing certain actions or thoughts.
Oh why did you let me disrespect you
Reflection on why the person allowed the speaker to disrespect them.
I admit to
Confession of guilt or wrongdoing by the speaker.
To say, you’re the one
Reiteration that the person being thought about is the one for the speaker.
Let me carry on
Repetition of the permission or allowance to continue thoughts and feelings.
Let me carry on
Final plea to be allowed to carry on with thoughts and feelings.
