Weird Weather
Embracing Nostalgia: Weathering the Emotional Storm in Kristen Merritt's Melody
Lyrics
The weather is calming
The weather is becoming tranquil and peaceful.
Pools and puddles dry in the sun
Small bodies of water are evaporating under the sunlight.
Gentle breezes carry mist away
Gentle winds are carrying away mist or fog.
Clouds are parting to reveal a golden memory
Clouds are dispersing, revealing a cherished and beautiful memory.
I’m lonely I realize
The speaker feels lonely.
Cause memories of gold
The speaker connects their loneliness to memories of better times.
Aren’t enough to surprise me
The speaker isn't surprised by the allure of those golden memories.
Or
Conjunction indicating a continuation or an alternative thought.
To entice my senses I blame
The speaker blames nostalgia for failing to captivate their senses.
Nostalgia
Nostalgia is responsible for the speaker's feelings.
For it all
Emphasizing nostalgia as the cause of the speaker's emotions.
Cause a perfect memory
A perfect memory, though beautiful, makes the speaker feel insignificant.
Bright and dewy
Describing a vivid and pristine memory.
Leaves me feeling quite small
The perfection of the memory diminishes the speaker's self-worth.
The weather feels a little weird
The atmosphere or mood of the weather feels unusual or strange.
Raindrops linger on window panes
Raindrops remain on window panes instead of drying or falling completely.
Only to give way
They give way or yield to partly sunny skies.
To partly sunny skies, I fear
The speaker is worried about the shift to partly sunny weather.
Cause I’d rather have storms that part the seas
The speaker prefers intense storms that clear the skies over uncertain weather.
To give way to skies
Storms giving way to perfectly clear blue skies.
Perfectly blue
Desiring clear and ideal weather rather than unpredictable conditions.
Than a promise of warmth
Preferable to have a certainty of clear skies rather than the promise of warmth that might lead to a storm.
Giving a storm a chance
Considering the risk of inviting a storm by seeking warmth.
To come back
A metaphorical reference suggesting the return of a troubling situation.
For round two
The possibility of a second encounter with a challenging circumstance.
