Yesterday's Coffee
Echoes of Love Lost: Malina Claire's Poignant Reflections in Yesterday's Coffee
Lyrics
I've got yesterday's coffee
I possess the remnants of yesterday's coffee.
Still sat on the bench
The coffee is still placed on the bench.
I can't seem to get rid of it as I
I find it difficult to discard the past.
Try to make sense of the wasteland that's my body
I attempt to understand the desolation within my body.
Where he lay his fingertips
Referring to a person's touch and influence.
And I let him
I allowed that person's touch.
Though he scared me
Despite being frightened by him.
Despite all of it
Regardless of all the negative aspects.
Isn't that what
Questioning the purpose of my body.
My body's for?
Suggesting the body is to placate and avoid anger.
To make you less mad
Trying to appease and prevent displeasure.
Maybe then I won't shudder at the slight twitch of your hand
Fearing negative reactions to subtle movements.
You're a coursing river
Metaphorically describing a person as a powerful force.
I'm the wind controlling your mood
The speaker claims control over the person's emotions.
So I'll be just a body
Willing to be just a physical entity.
If that's what I'm supposed to do
Accepting a passive role if required.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Repetitive vocalization, possibly emphasizing a routine.
Da doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Continuation of repetitive vocalization.
Da doo doo doo doo doo doo
Continued repetition with a change in tone.
Ah, ah
Expressing resignation or realization.
Just like yesterday's coffee
Comparing oneself to cold, leftover coffee.
I have grown cold
Feeling emotionally detached or indifferent.
So I guess I'll just sit here
Choosing to remain in this emotional state.
Until I grow older
Awaiting the passage of time for maturity.
And wiser, then maybe
Hoping for wisdom to bring clarity.
I'll see things in a better way
Anticipating a better understanding with age.
They told me I was strong but I can't picture that as I replay
Recalling advice about personal strength but struggling to believe it.
The moment, you made me
Reflecting on a moment when self-worth was questioned.
Question my worth
The other person instigated self-doubt.
As to you I was a body
Reduced to being perceived solely as a physical entity.
And something you could hurt
Subjected to harm as an object.
So like yesterday's coffee
Drawing a parallel to being forgotten like old coffee.
You'll forget about me
Predicting eventual neglect and disregard.
As I sit growing colder just reliving
Experiencing emotional coldness while reliving past experiences.
It all
Enduring the recollection of painful memories.
