Everywhere I Used to Be
Chasing Shadows of Love: Mariel Buckley's Poignant Journey
Lyrics
I have never spoken to anyone
The singer has never communicated with anyone in the manner in which this individual communicates.
The way that you speak to me
The way the person communicates with the singer is unique and impactful.
Don't it make you so sad
The situation or communication is melancholic, suggesting a sense of sadness.
The kind of thing you'd see on somebody's TV
Observing such emotional situations might be typical on television dramas or shows.
It's all misery and motels for days
The singer feels trapped in a cycle of despair and stays in motels for extended periods.
I kept thinking I'll be on my way
The singer repeatedly considers leaving but hasn't done so.
I'm out here chasing tides, losing money and pride
The singer is caught in a struggle, wasting resources and self-respect, questioning their choices.
What the hell am I doing anyway
The singer questions the purpose and direction of their current actions.
Goodbye, sweet release
An expression of leaving behind something comforting or relieving.
When you see tail lights leave the driveway
Describing the visual of seeing car lights moving away, symbolizing departure.
Honey, please don't make a scene
A plea to maintain composure and not create a scene during departure.
I'm going everywhere, baby
The singer intends to revisit places and memories from their past.
Everywhere I used to be
Revisiting places and emotions from their past experiences.
Like the dead eyes of the waitress at the diner
The singer observes the tired and emotionless gaze of a waitress, perhaps reflecting their own feelings.
I've been checked out now for awhile
The singer has emotionally disengaged or become numb for some time.
Call me with a quarter, while I wait for my order
Using a payphone, perhaps feeling distant and disconnected while waiting.
Better than fighting with you all over town
It's preferable to avoid confrontations or disagreements around town.
I have never held anyone up so high
The singer held the individual in high regard but feels let down.
Never thought you'd let me down
Expressing disappointment and surprise at the individual's actions or behavior.
At least I've got my peace, I'm my own worst enemy
Despite challenges, the singer finds some solace in solitude, recognizing self-destructive tendencies.
Never felt so alone as I do now
The singer feels profoundly isolated and lonely in the current situation.
Goodbye, sweet release
A repeated expression of bidding farewell to a sense of relief or comfort.
When you see tail lights leave the driveway
Reiterating the imagery of car lights moving away as a symbol of departure.
Honey, please don't make a scene
A plea to the individual to avoid creating emotional disturbances during the singer's departure.
I'm going everywhere, baby
The singer's intention to revisit past places and memories remains strong.
Everywhere I used to be
The singer emphasizes revisiting places and emotions from their past experiences.
Darkness at the edge of the barstool
The singer sits in a dimly lit place, possibly drinking, feeling the edge of despair.
I keep looking up and thinking you'll be there
The singer keeps hoping or expecting to see someone who might provide comfort.
Ah but tonight ain't my night,
Recognizing that the current night doesn't offer any relief or redemption.
There's no salvation in sight down here
Feeling that there's no hope or relief available in the immediate surroundings.
Goodbye, sweet relief
Expressing a final farewell to a sense of comfort or relief.
When you see tail lights leave the driveway
Reiterating the imagery of departure and leaving behind a familiar place.
Honey, please don't make a scene
Requesting emotional restraint and avoiding unnecessary drama during the singer's departure.
I'm going everywhere, baby
The singer's determination to embark on a journey revisiting past places and memories.
Everywhere I used to be
Stressing the intention to revisit familiar places and emotional landscapes.
I'm going everywhere, baby
Reiteration of the singer's strong desire and intention to revisit places and emotions from their past.
Everywhere I used to be
Emphasizing the singer's intention to revisit all the places and memories from their past.
