Stare
Yearning Echoes: Unspoken Emotions in Marjorie Fair's 'Stare'
Lyrics
These are things I feel but don't want to say
Expressing emotions internally without verbalizing them for fear of reciprocation or misunderstanding.
In case you feel that way
Concern about the possibility of the other person sharing similar feelings.
These are things I know but don't want to say
Aware of certain truths but choosing not to voice them to avoid potential emotional impact.
In case you feel that way
Similar to line 2, apprehension about the potential response or alignment of feelings.
I'll wait another day
Delaying action or communication, possibly due to uncertainty or emotional turmoil.
I can never change
An acknowledgment of an inability to fundamentally change one's nature or circumstances.
Cause the pain just makes me want to stare
The emotional pain experienced leads to a desire to remain static and introspective.
At the same things I saw before
Continuing to focus on familiar things despite the pain, possibly out of habit or inability to move forward.
Thinking there's something more
Hoping or believing there might be something more in familiar things despite the pain.
God it's a lonely place
Feeling isolated and emotionally disconnected from others.
I will never know how you feel
Acknowledgment of the inability to fully comprehend or empathize with the other person's emotions.
About the things I think about
Contemplating certain thoughts that are kept private from the other person.
Will I get a chance to make up to you
Desiring an opportunity to rectify or address withheld information or emotions.
The things I kept from you
Regret for not sharing certain things with the other person.
You know I wanted to
Admitting the desire to disclose those withheld feelings or thoughts.
I can never change
Reiteration of the inability to change, implying a sense of resignation.
The pain just makes me want to stare
Repeating the cycle of pain prompting a state of contemplation and stasis.
At the same things I saw before
Continuing to focus on familiar things despite a feeling that something might be amiss.
Thinking that something's wrong
Perception or suspicion of something being wrong or lacking despite the familiarity.
God it's a lonely place
Reiteration of feeling emotionally isolated and disconnected.
Say the same things you said before
Request or hope for the other person to express previously shared sentiments.
Wanting you even more
Increased desire or longing for the other person despite prior communication.
God it's a lonely place
Reiteration of the emotional isolation and longing felt.
I can never change
Reiteration of the inability to change despite the pain.
The pain just makes me want to stare
Continuing the cycle of pain leading to introspection and stagnation.
At the same things I saw before
Repeatedly focusing on familiar things despite suspicion or concern about their nature.
Thinking there's something wrong
Suspicion or belief that something might be wrong or missing in familiar surroundings or thoughts.
God it's a lonely place
Restating the feeling of emotional isolation and disconnection.
Say the same things you said before
Reiteration of the hope for the other person to reiterate past sentiments.
Wanting you even more
Intensified longing or desire for the other person despite prior communication.
God it's a lonely place
Reiteration of the feeling of emotional isolation and longing.
