I'll Be Late
Journey Through Longing: Mercy Drive's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
Driving, fears away
Driving, pushing fears away.
closer yet so far to go.
Closer to a destination but still a significant distance to cover.
Near you you’ve turned away.
You have turned away from me, creating emotional distance.
leave me on this path alone.
I feel abandoned on this journey, left to navigate it alone.
So I’ll be late
Expressing the speaker's acknowledgment of being delayed.
Coming back from my destination
Returning from a destination, possibly a metaphor for a life experience.
Why must you hate,
Questioning the reason behind someone's hatred or resentment.
what I live for ..my complication
Highlighting the speaker's passion or purpose in life, seen as a complication by others.
Passing thoughts they fade
Transient thoughts fading into a dull and monotonous existence.
into this sea of grey.
A metaphorical sea of grey representing a mundane or uninspiring reality.
Somehow, somethings wrong.
An awareness that something is wrong or unsettling.
Fear that you won’t come along.
Fear that a significant person might not join the speaker on their journey.
So I’ll be late
Reiteration of the speaker's acknowledgment of being delayed.
Coming back from my destination
Repeating the return from a significant experience or journey.
Why must you hate,
Repeating the question about the cause of someone's hatred.
what I live for my complication
Reiterating the speaker's commitment to their complicated life purpose.
Standing alone.
The speaker is standing alone, possibly feeling isolated.
Was I so wrong was I the wrong?
Reflecting on whether the speaker was wrong or perceived as such.
Stabbing to know, not a secret
Expressing a desire to know the truth, without hidden secrets.
I’ve been burned by the words...
Past experiences have caused emotional pain, indicated by being burned by words.
So I’ll be late
Reiteration of the speaker's acknowledgment of being delayed.
Coming back from my destination
Repeating the return from a significant experience or journey.
Why must you hate,
Repeating the question about the cause of someone's hatred.
what I live for my complication
Reiterating the speaker's commitment to their complicated life purpose.
I’ll Be, I’ll Be, I’ll be late
Affirmation of being late as a consistent theme in the speaker's life.
I’ll Be, I’ll Be, I’ll be late
Repeating the affirmation of being late as a recurring aspect of the speaker's journey.
