Here Comes the Sadness
Chasing Shadows of Regret: Here Comes the Sadness
Lyrics
Looking through your photographs
Reflecting on memories through photographs
Summer days and frozen laughs
Recalling joyful moments and carefree laughter
And you
Acknowledging the presence of the listener
Long before the darkness fell
Referencing a time before a period of darkness
Signs they were so neatly veiled
Indicating that warning signs were concealed
Untrue
Describing a situation as untrue or deceptive
In my mind I’m back again
Mentally revisiting a past time
My life is still in your hands
Suggesting a sense of dependency on someone
I wish I didn’t know what I know now
Expressing regret about gaining certain knowledge
Here comes the sadness
Introducing the theme of sadness
Will anybody miss you when you’re gone?
Pondering if anyone will miss the listener when they are gone
Here come those bad days
Anticipating difficult times ahead
Helplessly forever on your own
Feeling helpless and destined to be alone
Here come the regrets
Expecting the arrival of regrets
The ones that you just couldn’t leave alone
Referring to regrets that were difficult to avoid
Here comes the sadness chasing in your
Describing sadness catching up relentlessly
footsteps ‘til you’re gone
Imagining sadness persisting until departure
Restless heart so filled with fear
Describing a heart filled with fear and restlessness
A life in ultra rapid gear
Portraying a life moving at an extremely fast pace
And I’m paralyzed
Expressing a state of being paralyzed or immobile
I watch my life from outer space
Observing life from a detached perspective
Watching it all go to waste
Witnessing a sense of waste or loss in life
Emphasizing the immediacy of the present moment
Once my mind was swift and clear
Highlighting a contrast from a time of mental clarity
Now I am just barely here
Conveying a diminished sense of presence or existence
Pushing further down into the mine
Pushing deeper into a metaphorical mine of challenges
Here comes the sadness
Reiterating the theme of approaching sadness
Will anybody miss you when you’re gone?
Posing a question about the impact of one's absence
Here come those bad days
Anticipating the arrival of difficult days
Helplessly forever on your own
Expressing a sense of perpetual loneliness
Here come the regrets
Expecting the emergence of remorseful feelings
The ones that you just couldn’t leave alone
Referring to regrets that were challenging to let go
Here comes the sadness chasing in your
Repeating the theme of approaching sadness
footsteps ‘til you’re gone
Envisioning sadness persisting until departure
