Yesterday's Love
Echoes of Yesterday's Love: A Melancholic Journey Through Heartbreak
Lyrics
Amberwood 'glowin on a cold dark night
Describing a cold night with the warm glow of amberwood.
Dew on the ground and a moon shining bright
Setting the scene with dew on the ground and a bright moon.
This bottle's half empty, or is it half full
Reflecting on a half-empty or half-full bottle and referencing a song, "I'm No Stranger To The Rain."
And "I'm No Stranger To The Rain"
Introducing the speaker's brother's connection to Jack Daniels and a friend's pain.
My brother's "Jack Daniels" and my best friend's pain
Expressing a desire for the night to end, acknowledging the impact of someone on the speaker.
Lord I wish, the night would end
Conveying the emotional impact of a person who is aware of their effect on the speaker.
She's killing me and I know she knows she is
Requesting another strong drink and acknowledging not planning to be alone.
So pour me another one and make it strong
Suggesting the use of a sad song played slowly to drown sorrows.
Don't plan on going alone
Choosing to drink away cares due to the lingering love from the past.
Put on a sad song and make it go slow
Describing the transition from winter to spring and the speaker's emotional numbness.
I'll drink all my cares away
Portraying a heart like a burning stone in anguish.
Cause all I have is your love from yesterday
Seeing the loved one's face in the night sky, haunted by memories.
Winters now over 'n Springs nearly come
Acknowledging the presence of the loved one in dreams but expressing fatigue from dwelling on the past.
My hearts now callused and I've grown numb
Requesting another strong drink to cope with the lingering love and avoid being alone.
Like a piece of stone burning in hell
Expressing loneliness as the sun rises, bottles empty, and the speaker left alone.
I see your face in the sky at night
Picturing the speaker picking themselves up off the floor after a difficult night.
Constellated by stars shining so bright
Learning about the loved one leaving town with someone new, contemplating reasons behind the departure.
You even haunt me in my dreams
Expressing intense emotional pain, more than experienced before.
But I'm tired of dreaming of how things used to be
Cursing the loved one for discarding valuable things, possibly metaphorical or symbolic.
So pour me another one and make it strong
Requesting another strong drink despite knowing it won't change the past.
Don't plan on going alone
Expressing the desire to avoid being alone and using music to intensify the emotional experience.
Put on a sad song and make it go slow
Choosing to drown sorrows in alcohol due to the only remaining connection being the love from the past.
I'll drink all my cares away
Describing the warmth of the sun at dawn and the speaker being left alone with empty bottles.
Cause all I have is your love from yesterday
Highlighting the aftermath of a painful breakup and the emotional toll it takes on the speaker.
Sun warms the sky at the break of dawn
Expressing the pain of hearing about the loved one's departure and questioning the reasons behind it.
The bottles are empty and I'm all alone
Describing the intense emotional impact, hurting more than anticipated.
Picking myself up off the dirty floor
Cursing the loved one for discarding valuable things, possibly metaphorical or symbolic.
I heard you left town with someone new
Requesting another strong drink despite knowing it won't change the past.
Was it the pictures or was it the booze
Expressing the desire to avoid being alone and using music to intensify the emotional experience.
Hurts more than it should, or has before
Choosing to drown sorrows in alcohol due to the only remaining connection being the love from the past.
Damn you for all the things you threw away
Describing the warmth of the sun at dawn and the speaker being left alone with empty bottles.
So pour me another one and make it strong
Highlighting the aftermath of a painful breakup and the emotional toll it takes on the speaker.
Don't plan on going alone
Expressing the pain of hearing about the loved one's departure and questioning the reasons behind it.
Put on a sad song and make it go slow
Describing the intense emotional impact, hurting more than anticipated.
I'll drink all my cares away
Cursing the loved one for discarding valuable things, possibly metaphorical or symbolic.
Cause all I have is your love from yesterday
Requesting another strong drink despite knowing it won't change the past.
Cause all I have is your love from yesterday
Concluding that all that remains is the love from yesterday, emphasizing the inability to move on.
