Just Passing Through
Love's Illusion: When Dreams Crumble and Hearts Echo in Silence
Lyrics
Lord, it's so quiet this morning
Expressing the quietness of the morning
You could hear a pin drop on the floor
Highlighting the extreme quietness, emphasizing solitude
And it feels like time stopped on a dime
Suggesting a moment frozen in time
And the world ain't spinnin' no more
Conveying a sense of the world standing still
Used to be that I'd hear your footsteps
Recalling a time when the person could hear the loved one's presence
And your voice would hang on the air
Describing the lingering effect of the loved one's voice
Now I hear nothing but silence around
Noting the absence of sound and the void left behind
When I call your name, you're not there
Expressing the loneliness when trying to reach the absent loved one
And I used to dream of how it would be, in a home built for us two
Reflecting on past dreams of a shared home
We'd wake up each morning, together alone, and I'd tell you how much I love you
Imagining mornings filled with love and togetherness
That's when I thought that you lived here
Realizing the misconception that the loved one still resides there
Turns out you were just passing through
Discovering that the loved one was only passing through
Now, I reside with your memory
Living with the memories of the departed loved one
Your picture still hangs on my wall
Having a symbolic image of the loved one still present
But now, it all seems like something I dreamed
Questioning the reality of past experiences
Did you ever love me at all?
Doubting the sincerity of the loved one's feelings
Now, I just sit in this lonely old house, and I wonder what I'm supposed to do
Contemplating the loneliness in the now-empty house
I thought it would be someplace that we would start our whole life anew
Reflecting on unfulfilled plans for a shared life
But that's when I thought that you lived here
Recognizing the misconception of a shared future
Turns out you were just passing through
Realizing that the loved one was transient, not permanent
That's when I thought that you lived here
Reiterating the initial misunderstanding of the loved one's presence
Turns out you were just passing through
Emphasizing the transient nature of the loved one's stay
