The Same Again
Echoes of Lost Love: Michael J. Benjamin's Melancholic Journey
Lyrics
Here I sit by the foot end of our bed
Reflecting on sitting at the foot end of the bed, possibly a place of shared intimacy.
Memories in my pockets gone from memories from my head
Mention of memories lost from pockets and mind, emphasizing forgetfulness or loss.
We lost everything, that you gave
Acknowledging the loss of everything given by the partner.
All except one picture on which our smile never fade
Highlighting a single enduring picture where their shared smile remains intact.
As I go walkin' by the farm sometimes to catch a glimpse of light
Walking by a farm, seeking light, possibly symbolizing hope or positivity.
As the silence kills me easily and I'm stranded in the night
Expressing the pain of silence and feeling stranded in the darkness of emotional turmoil.
I cry a million river and I'll fade out in the rain
Conveying intense emotions through crying rivers and fading away in the rain.
And when I wake up, I'll do the same again
Committing to repeating the emotional cycle, waking up to the same struggles.
I never thought there'd be a last goodbye
Expressing surprise at the unexpected final farewell.
As I catch the guiding lights in the center of your eye
Noting the significance of catching the partner's gaze in their eyes.
And London always seemed a while away
Reflecting on the distance of London, possibly symbolizing emotional distance.
All this time you pass on by me without a word left to say
Observing the partner passing by without communication, leaving words unspoken.
As I go walkin' by the farm sometimes to catch a glimpse of light
Repeating the imagery of walking by the farm, searching for a glimmer of hope.
As the silence kills me easily and I'm stranded in the night
Expressing the ease with which silence causes pain, emphasizing emotional isolation.
And I'll cry a million river and I'll fade out in the rain
Continuing the theme of intense emotions, crying rivers and fading in the rain.
And when I wake up, I'll do the same again
Committing to repeating the emotional cycle upon waking up.
So go on I believe your word is true
Encouraging the partner to keep their word and escape from internal struggles.
Run out from the demons, oh and run into to the blue
Suggesting running away from personal demons and seeking solace in the unknown.
For I am here, but again too late
Expressing regret for being too late to intervene or prevent the partner's struggles.
Running for the hills and fadin' in the rain
Describing a desperate attempt to escape, running for the hills, and fading in the rain.
As I go walkin' by the farm sometimes to catch a glimpse of light
Repeating the act of walking by the farm, emphasizing the persistence of seeking hope.
As the silence kills me easily and I'm stranded in the night
Reiterating the impact of silence and feeling stranded in the darkness of the night.
And I cry a million river and I'll fade out in the rain
Continuing the theme of intense emotions, crying rivers and fading in the rain.
And when I wake up, I'll do the same again
Committing to repeating the emotional cycle upon waking up.
