Ain't No Sunshine
Eternal Shadows: Exploring the Void Left by Her Absence
Lyrics
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Acknowledges the absence of brightness or joy when "she" is not present.
It's not warm when she's away
Describes the emotional coldness experienced in her absence.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Reiterates the idea that there is no sunshine, emphasizing the impact of her absence.
And she's always gone too long
Highlights that she is consistently away for extended periods.
Anytime she goes away
Stresses the gloominess felt every time she departs.
Wonder this time where she's gone
Expresses curiosity about her whereabouts during this particular absence.
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Questions whether she has left permanently this time.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Repeats the theme of the darkness and emptiness in her absence.
And this house just ain't no home
States that the house lacks the warmth and comfort when she is not around.
Anytime she goes away
Reiterates the impact on the home environment when she goes away.
And I know, I know, I know, I know
Repeated acknowledgment of the deep understanding of the negative effects of her absence.
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
-I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
-I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
-I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
-I know, I know
-Hey, I oughta leave young thing alone
Recognizes the need to distance oneself from a tempting but problematic situation.
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Despite the awareness, emphasizes the continued absence of sunshine when she's gone.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Repeats the sentiment that her absence brings darkness.
Only darkness every day
Underlines the persistent bleakness experienced daily without her.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Reiterates the impact on the environment, stating again that there is no sunshine when she's gone.
And this house just ain't no home
Confirms the emptiness and lack of a homey feeling in the house during her absence.
Anytime she goes away
Emphasizes the consistent negative effect on the atmosphere whenever she goes away.
Anytime she goes away
-Anytime she goes away
-Anytime she goes away
Repeats the idea of the gloominess felt each time she departs.
