Repeat
Echoes of Heartache: Luke Hemmings' Revelations in 'Repeat'
Lyrics
Here in the shadow
Reflecting on a place overshadowed by past actions and events.
Of all that's said and done
Contemplating the consequences of everything that has been said and done.
The love that you borrowed
Referring to love that was borrowed, possibly hinting at a temporary or borrowed affection.
In the morning's come and gone
Acknowledging the passage of time as morning comes and goes.
You run from tomorrow
Avoiding facing the future, running away from what lies ahead.
But the madness catches up
Despite attempts to escape, facing the consequences of one's actions.
The pain from the window
Experiencing pain, perhaps from introspection or external sources.
Yeah, it all keeps stackin' up
Accumulation of challenges and difficulties in life.
This is all we are, we are
Reflecting on the essence of existence, acknowledging the reality of our being.
This is all we are
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of what makes up our existence.
You seem so damn familiar
Feeling a sense of recognition but unable to identify or remember the source.
But I just can't place the name
Staring at oneself in the mirror, possibly reflecting on personal identity.
You're starin' in the mirror
Facing changes in oneself that challenge a stable identity.
But your face won't stay the same
Been waitin' for so long
Longing for a moment that never arrived despite waiting for a considerable time.
But the moment never came
Using a metaphorical perspective on life, emphasizing missed opportunities.
If life's a game of inches
Viewing life as a game where small actions matter, questioning a significant distance from a desired state.
How'd you get miles away?
Away
-Hand to the bible
Swearing on the Bible but unable to correct past mistakes.
But my wrongs stay in place
Despite personal struggles, certain aspects remain unchanged.
Lost in the rubble
Feeling lost in chaos but maintaining stability in some aspects of life.
But the house stands all the same
You bet on the sorrow
Investing in sorrow and now dealing with overwhelming emotions.
Now your heart is overrun
Experiencing fear and confusion about one's transformed self.
You fear what you don't know
Expressing uncertainty and questioning personal evolution.
Tell me, what have I become?
Seeking understanding of one's changed identity.
This is all we are, we are
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of existence, emphasizing its entirety.
This is all we are
You seem so damn familiar
Similar to earlier lines, feeling a sense of recognition without clear identification.
But I just can't place the name
You're starin' in the mirror
-But your face won't stay the same
-Been waitin' for so long
-But the moment never came
-If life's a game of inches
-How'd you get miles away?
-Away
-Leave me in the dark, leave me in the dark
Expressing a desire to be left in ignorance or darkness.
Tell me what to see, tell me what to see
Seeking guidance on how to perceive or understand the surroundings.
Let it fall apart, let it fall apart
Alluding to a crumbling situation, perhaps in life or relationships.
Livin' on repeat
Emphasizing a repetitive and stagnant existence.
Leave me in the dark, leave me in the dark
Tell me what to see, tell me what to see
-Let it fall apart, let it fall apart
-Livin' on repeat
