Silver and Blue: A Melancholic Symphony of Lost Love
Lyrics
I should've held your hand and danced, in the pouring rain
The speaker regrets not taking the opportunity to share an intimate moment (dancing in the rain) with the person they care about.
I wish I had another chance but I fear it's too late
Expressing remorse for missing a chance and feeling that it might be too late to rectify things.
For me to be the symphony that sweeps you off your feet
Desire to be the source of great emotional or musical intensity that captivates the other person.
Didn't know that I was holding gold, now you've found another melody
Realization of undervaluing the person's worth ('holding gold') and now witnessing them finding happiness elsewhere ('another melody').
But darling can you hear me?
Pleading for the person's attention, asking if they can still hear the speaker amidst their new life.
Silver and Blue
Repetition emphasizing the feeling of being adrift and directionless without the person.
I'm a tide with no moon
-And I'm so lost without you
-Silver and Blue
-I'm a tide with no moon
-And I'm so lost without you
-I don't know where to go without you
Expressing uncertainty and feeling lost in terms of life's direction without the person.
I should've known to hold you close, every time of the day
Regret for not cherishing moments together and holding the person close enough.
But like shooting stars I was so far away
Metaphorically distant, comparing oneself to a shooting star - fleeting and distant.
Thought I needed to be free but now I'm just alone in the Milky Way
Realization that seeking freedom resulted in isolation ('alone in the Milky Way').
But if gravity had sympathy it would pull you back to my embrace
Wishing that the force of attraction (gravity) would bring the person back, expressing a desire for reconciliation.
So darling come back to me
Pleading for the person to return.

I'm a tide with no moon

-Silver and Blue
-I'm a tide with no moon
-And I'm so lost without you

Restating the confusion and lack of direction in life without the person's presence.
I didn't think I'd have to sink so deep to finally see
Realization of sinking into a profound emotional depth to understand the necessity of the other person.
How much I need your love to breathe
Expressing dependency on the person's love for emotional sustenance ('need your love to breathe').
But if I saw you shining I would flow right back to you
Willingness to return to the person's life if they were willing to reconcile ('saw you shining').
