Just Listen
Navigating Silence: Long Since Forgotten's Melodic Plea for Understanding
Lyrics
I've had enough of these unrestricted arguments
Feeling fed up with uncontrolled arguments
It's worth much less than silence
Believing silence is more valuable than continuing arguments
To spend my time like this
Not wanting to spend time in conflict like this
Can't you just see
Asking for understanding beyond the noise of conflict
Through this wall of noise
Trying to break through the chaos of the argument
To see that
Hoping the other person can see beyond the conflict
I don't want to fight
Expressing a desire not to engage in a fight
Not this time
Not willing to fight this time
Not tonight
Refusing to engage in an argument tonight
I'll try one more time
Willing to make an effort one more time
I'm waking up again
Waking up to the absence of the other person
To the sound of you not here
Feeling familiar with the absence, suggesting it's recurring
It's becoming all too familiar
Only echoes and empty outbursts remain
Now all that's left are vacant screams at best
Expressing the feeling of empty, ineffective shouting
Now it's 4am
Highlighting the early morning hour when nobody's listening
With no one listening
Feeling unheard and wishing words were unsaid
I wish I said nothing
Regretting the spoken words during the argument
I don't want to fight
Reiterating the desire to avoid a fight
Not this time
Not wanting conflict at this particular moment
Not tonight
Declining engagement in an argument tonight
I'll try one more time
Willingness to attempt resolution once more
I'll try one more time
Committing to making one more effort
I'll try one more time for you
Willingness to try again for the other person
With all that's left within me
Putting in all remaining effort to believe in reconciliation
To believe that we can make this through
Believing in the possibility of overcoming the conflict
Because I love you
Stating love as the motivation for persisting
I don't want to fight
Reiterating the unwillingness to engage in a fight
(I'll try one more time for you)
Reaffirming the commitment to try again for the other person
Not this time
Declaring the refusal to engage in conflict at this moment
(With all that's left within me)
Stating the dedication with all remaining strength
Not tonight
Declining participation in an argument tonight
(To Believe that we can make this through)
Clutching onto the belief in reconciliation
I'll try one more time
Willingness to make one more attempt
(Because I love you)
Love as the reason behind persisting efforts
