The Wind
Whispers of Love Lost: Magic City Hippies' Melancholic Journey with 'The Wind'
Lyrics
Lonely I've been
Expressing a sense of loneliness
Since I fell, fell for the wind
Having felt lonely since falling for the wind, possibly a metaphor for a fleeting or elusive love
You only begin
Highlighting the beginning of a process or emotion
To feel better when you're drinking
Suggesting that feeling better is associated with drinking
And it's a long way down
Describing a challenging situation or emotional state
When your love is found
Emphasizing the difficulty when love is present
And it's a long way down
Reiterating the challenges of love
When your love is found
Reinforcing the idea that love brings difficulties
On a plane again
Referencing travel, possibly seeking an escape from current circumstances
I wish I was going south
Expressing a desire to head south, possibly seeking warmth or comfort
I'll feel better when I'm drinking
Associating improvement in mood with drinking
It's gonna rain again
Anticipating difficult times ahead, symbolized by rain
I can't just shut my mouth
Expressing difficulty in controlling speech or emotions
I'll forget her, but I'm winking
Indicating a flirtatious or playful attitude towards forgetting someone
And it's a long way down
Reiterating the challenges of love and its impact
When your love is found
Stressing the difficulty when love is present
And it's a long way down
Reiterating the challenges of love
When your love ain't around
Highlighting the struggles when love is absent
Oh, never gonna find, never gonna find, never find, never
Expressing a sense of never finding something
Never gonna find, never gonna find
Repeating the idea of never finding something
Never gonna catch, never gonna catch, never catch, never
Expressing a sense of never catching something
Never gonna catch, never gonna catch
Repeating the idea of never catching something
The wind
Symbolizing the elusive and unpredictable nature of the wind
No!
Conveying disappointment or frustration
It was supposed to be you and me, you and me forever
Expressing a sense of loss or unfulfilled expectations in a relationship
Oh, what do I have left?
Pondering what remains after a relationship ends
Never put your happiness in someone else's hands
Advising against relying on others for happiness
You fill your own cup up
Encouraging self-sufficiency in finding joy
You fill it up, till it spills over the sides
Metaphorically describing the process of self-love and fulfillment
I love ya
Expressing love or affection towards someone
So long
Indicating a farewell or conclusion
