Jet Black Lake
Flight of Emotions: Matt Costa's Jet Black Lake Tale
Lyrics
When I first met you
When the speaker initially encountered the subject
Swimming in a jet black lake
Describing the setting as a mysterious and dark lake
When I first met you
Reiteration of the initial meeting
You were the swan
Metaphorical reference to the subject as a graceful swan
A thin light shown through
Illustrating a delicate light shining through, portraying beauty
Green and blue
Colors emphasized, possibly symbolizing depth and emotions
You never spoke of leaving
The subject never expressed the intention to leave
One day you just flew
Unexpected departure without prior notice
In a night so vivid
Depiction of a vivid and memorable night
Over famous skies
Flying over well-known and celebrated places
Over intersecting avenues
Reference to the subject traversing various paths and choices
And private drives
Passing over both public and private spaces
Over long deserted corners
Traveling across neglected and deserted areas of Franklin Square
Of Franklin Square
Specific mention of a location, adding detail to the journey
You never spoke of returning
Confirmation that the subject didn't communicate a return
One day I just knew
The speaker intuitively understood the absence of the subject
I knew where to find you
The speaker had knowledge of where to locate the subject
Despite sleight of hand
Despite deception or misdirection, the speaker could find the subject
Despite the bad weather
The ability to locate the subject endured despite challenging conditions
Despite the false starts
Persistence despite initial difficulties or setbacks
Despite the marble statues
Mention of obstacles like marble statues that hindered progress
That crumbled in my way
Despite barriers, the determination to find the subject remained
And though you look indifferent
Recognition of the subject's apparent indifference
The feeling hasn't changed
Despite appearances, the emotional connection with the subject persists
