Heartachers
Eternal Heartaches: A Melodic Tale of Love's Ghost
Lyrics
Had to go crazy to love you
Experienced madness or extreme emotions to truly understand and appreciate your love.
Like the bat that I nailed to your tree
Used a metaphor of nailing a bat to a tree, possibly symbolizing a sacrifice or commitment in the relationship.
For I saw the hole in your harlequin soul Where the sweetness dripped out at the seams
Recognized the flaws in your colorful and lively soul where the essence of sweetness leaked out.
Lord I was lonely without you,
Expressed loneliness in your absence.
But you never thought twice about me
Emphasized that you didn't reciprocate the feelings, perhaps feeling unappreciated.
For I'm just the ghost of old Carwyn I know And I'll go back to my grave in your dreams
Identified oneself as the ghost of old Carwyn and acknowledged returning to the dreams after being ignored.
And as you sleep
Referencing the partner's sleep, setting a scene for the following lines.
Low in the moonlight all particles are thee Obeyed
Described a surreal moment in moonlight where everything is subordinate to the partner.
It's true
Affirmed the truth of the partner's indifference or departure.
She's gone
Confirmed the departure or absence of the person being referred to.
I wandered lost in those heartaches
Expressed a period of emotional distress or turmoil.
And oh it was terrible sweet
Described the experience as both terrible and sweet, suggesting a complex and bittersweet emotional state.
To be like the ghost in your story of hope And become the one thing you most need
Becoming an essential part of the partner's narrative of hope and need.
For one day we'll meet
Anticipated a future meeting in a dreamlike state beneath the sea.
Low in the sea like two particles I dreamed And as the sun sunk
Continued the dream imagery, with particles representing elements of the dream.
I could see it was true
Realized the truth as the sun set, possibly referring to the partner's departure.
She's gone
Reiterated the confirmation of the partner's absence or departure.
So long those long summers
Reflecting on the passing of long and memorable summers.
So long those wild eyed dreams We are the Heartachers
Acknowledged shared dreams that were once filled with enthusiasm and passion.
And there ain't no song too sweet Lay down my cold eyed lover
Declared a collective identity as 'Heartachers' and the acknowledgment that some songs are too sweet to be sung.
You have said your goodbyes to me We are the heartachers
Addressed a farewell from the partner and embraced the identity of those who experience heartache.
And yours is the song I need Obeyed
Expressed the partner's departure as a necessary and painful experience.
It's true
Reiterated the truth of the partner's absence or departure.
She's gone
Confirmed the partner's departure or absence once again.
