Sometimes
Echoes of Love's Struggle: Martha Wainwright's Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
Sometimes every once in a while there’s a vision I want to appear
Sometimes, at intervals, a vision that I desire appears.
Sometimes every once in a while there’s a sound I want to hear.
Sometimes, at intervals, a sound that I wish to hear manifests.
I know, every once in a while i feel the things i fear
Occasionally, I experience the things I fear.
sometimes every once in a while you are not near
At times, you are not near.
I know I’ll never believe in you again
I acknowledge that I will never believe in you again.
like i never touched your skin
Similar to never touching your skin.
like my voice was a little a too thin
My voice seems too thin, suggesting fragility.
like my love was not that strong
Expressing doubt about the strength of my love.
How long does this go on
Pondering the duration of these feelings.
Sometimes every once in a while I get the feeling that i just don’t care
At times, I get the feeling of not caring.
Sometimes every once in a while there’s love in the air
Occasionally, there is love in the air.
i know every once in a while you’re bound to break my back
Anticipating that occasionally, you might hurt me emotionally.
but sometimes every once in a while I’ve learned to fight back
Despite challenges, I have learned to fight back at times.
I know I’ll never believe in you again
Reiterating the disbelief in you.
like i never touched your skin
Recalling the sensation of never touching your skin.
like my voice was a little too thin like my love was always wrong
Comparing the thinness of my voice to the perceived inadequacy of my love.
How long does this go on
Questioning the prolonged existence of these feelings.
My love is not easy, it’s like a child, it’s mean and wild.
Describing love as not easy, resembling a mean and wild child.
but you break my heart -tearing it apart
Expressing heartbreak and the tearing apart of emotions.
How long does this go on…
Reiterating the question about the duration of these emotional struggles.
