Who I Was
Ephemeral Echoes: Rediscovering Love's Ghost in 'Who I Was'
Lyrics
I can recall the good times with you, who I was
I reminisce about the positive moments shared with you, reflecting on my past self
I'm just a shadow of me, I'm fading out quiet and slow
I feel like a diminished version of myself, gradually losing presence quietly and slowly
Come up to me and hit me baby, make it softly
Approach me and impact me gently, provide comfort in a tender manner
Help me to feel the lightning
Assist me in experiencing intense and electrifying emotions
I'm gonna stay right here and lie
I choose to remain in this current state of deception and falsehood
Who will love you now that I'm gone
Who will be there to love you now that I'm no longer present?
Call you lightly
Contact you with a light touch or call that is delicate
Who will pull you back from the loss
Who will bring you back from the state of loss and despair?
Meet you nightly
Meet you regularly in the evening
Like the darkest ice on the highway
Similar to the treacherous conditions of icy roads, symbolizing a challenging relationship
Touch it once and slide to the curbing
Touch the difficult situation briefly and slide into a hazardous position
Who will love you now that I'm gone?
Reiteration of the question about love after the speaker's departure
I need to hear the noise vibrations. Turn it up, now
Expressing a need for external stimuli and distractions to avoid emptiness
Something to fill the empty so I can just live in my mind
Craving something to occupy the void so that the speaker can live in their thoughts
Cars speeding down the hill past me, sixty five
Observing fast-moving cars as a metaphor for the rapid passage of time
Roar lingers, my ears rattle. Fill me up waste my goodbye
The loud noise remains, causing a disturbance and emphasizing the farewell
I know, I know now
A realization or acknowledgment of a certain truth or circumstance
I'm gonna be right here waiting
Committing to wait patiently in the current situation
I know, I know now
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of a truth or circumstance
Oooh
An expressive vocalization, possibly indicating emotion or reflection
I know I know now
Reiteration of the commitment to wait patiently
I'm gonna be right here waiting now
Expressing determination to remain in the same location and state of waiting
