Departure
Ephemeral Moments: Departure's Emotional Tale
Lyrics
Some things stand out and others blend in
Not everything attracts attention equally; some things are noticeable while others blend into the background.
The sound of the crowd, your hair in the wind
The ambient noise of a crowd and the sensation of wind blowing through your hair.
We only met once, yet you're all I think about
Despite having met only once, you occupy the speaker's thoughts extensively because of the impact you had.
Cos you lifted me up and I cannot go without
You provided support or uplifted the speaker in some way, and now they find it difficult to manage without you.
Your soft hands, white pearls
Descriptive attributes of the person: delicate hands and possibly valuable or symbolic pearls.
Brown eyes, tight curls
Physical characteristics of the person: brown eyes and tightly curled hair.
Everything feels empty now your gone
Feelings of emptiness persist in the absence of the person being addressed.
last time meeting
Implying this might be the final meeting or encounter.
Moments fleeting
The fleeting nature of the moments shared or experienced together.
Somehow all I wanna do is talk
The speaker's primary desire now is to communicate or engage in conversation.
Where did you go? and what's left to be
Questioning the whereabouts of the person and contemplating what remains or persists after their departure.
A life of our own, so they cannot see
The desire for a private life together away from the scrutiny of others.
I know what I ask, its selfish to even say
The speaker acknowledges the selfishness of their request or longing.
Do you want me to tell you why I feel this way?
Asking if the person wants an explanation for the speaker's emotional state.
Your soft hands, white pearls
Repetition of earlier physical attributes of the person.
Brown eyes, tight curls
Reiteration of the physical characteristics that stand out in the speaker's memory.
Everything feels empty now your gone
Continued feelings of emptiness and lack in the person's absence.
Last time meeting
Reiteration of the implied finality of the meeting.
Moments fleeting
Repetition of the fleeting nature of the moments shared or experienced together.
Somehow all I wanna do is talk
The primary desire is to engage in conversation or communication.
