Her
Embracing Shadows: A Soul's Struggle and Unrequited Love in Marcos Matheus' 'Her'
Lyrics
I don't know what to say
I am at a loss for words
I don't know which way I'll take
Uncertain about the path I will choose
I don't know which way I see
Uncertain about my perspective or outlook
I don't even know where I've been
Lost and unaware of my past or journey
"Fight 'til it's over", she said
She encourages me to keep fighting until the end
"Don't let your dreams die this way"
Advises against letting dreams fade away
But I have no one else
Expressing a lack of other significant connections
She's the only one who knows all my hells
She is the only one aware of all my struggles
Oh, she makes me wanna stay alive
Her presence motivates a desire to live
But, oh, she wants me to say goodbye
Conflict arises as she wants a farewell
Inside my soul, she lights a fire
She ignites a passion within my soul
Such a shame, she's not mine
Regretful acknowledgment that she is not mine
Falling, fighting
Experiencing a state of falling and fighting
All I want is to stay by her side
Desire to be close to her
Let's play, I'm the groom, you're the bride
Suggesting a playful scenario where they are wed
Color all the grey inside of me
Seeking to eliminate inner sadness
Make me feel all the colours I can't see
Yearning to feel the emotions beyond the grayscale
Just like leaves fall from a tree
Comparing thoughts to falling leaves, emphasizing impermanence
Let all my thoughts disappear
Wishing for the disappearance of troubling thoughts
"Oh, father, I'm scared
Expressing fear to a father figure
Won't you sing me to sleep?"
Pleading to be sung to sleep
"Hey, mother, I'm asleep on bed
Asking a mother figure for a goodnight kiss
Won't you kiss me on the forehead?"
Oh, and I know you belong to me
Asserting a sense of ownership over the person addressed
It's always been supposed to be like this
Acknowledging a predestined connection
But I look at you and all I feel
Despite the supposed bond, feelings of pain and unreality
Is the pain of dreaming, unreal
Pain, crying
