Breathless Days
Embracing Love's Echoes: Malena Ernman's Breathless Days Unveiled
Lyrics
The summer sun bleeds into the sea
The summer sun is setting over the sea, casting a vivid image.
We watch the tide leave at our feet
We observe the tide retreating, nearing our feet.
But let´s remember
A call to remember something important.
The sunburned lovers
Referring to lovers with sunburns, possibly symbolizing passion.
Who found each other
Highlighting the connection between the lovers.
When we were lost
Recalling a time when "we" were lost, suggesting a shared experience.
I´ll have the mem-ries
Expressing the intention to keep memories.
To hold inside of me
These memories will be cherished internally.
After these breathless days are gone
Anticipating the end of intense and captivating days.
Inspite of promises we´ll make
Despite promises made, nature (waves) will erase our presence.
The waves will wash our names away
Continuation of the idea that the elements will wash away memories.
But we will hold on to the day
Commitment to holding onto a specific day despite its impermanence.
Pretending it will last forever
Pretending that the cherished moment will endure eternally.
I will remember
A repetition of the idea of remembering the sunburned lovers.
The sunburned lovers
Recalling the connection formed in a state of being lost.
Who found each other
Reiteration of the theme of finding each other.
When we were lost
Reflecting on the past when they were lost.
I´ll have the mem-ries
The intention to keep memories for the future.
To hold inside of me
Internalizing these memories as a personal possession.
After these breathless days are gone
Reiterating the awareness of the approaching end of intense days.
I know the mem-ries
Acknowledging that memories will persist.
Will never leave me
The assurance that memories will remain in the heart.
Part of my heart where you belong
Confirming a lasting place for the loved one in the heart.
Still won´t believe these breathless days are gone
Expressing disbelief in the disappearance of the intense days.
