Solitude
Echoes of Longing: Solitude's Haunting Embrace in Milt Jackson's Melody
Lyrics
In my solitude
In a state of being alone
You haunt me
You persistently occupy my thoughts
With dreadful ease
With a disturbing and unsettling ease
Of days gone by
Referring to the ease of remembering past days
In my solitude
Continuation of expressing aloneness
You taunt me
You mock or tease me
With memories
With memories that linger vividly
That never die
Memories that are enduring and never fade
I sit in my chair
Describing a moment of sitting and reflecting
And filled with despair
Feeling overwhelmed by hopelessness
There's no one could be so sad
Expressing extreme sadness
With gloom everywhere
Describing a pervasive sense of gloom
I sit and I stare
Continuation of sitting and observing surroundings
I know that I'll soon go mad
Awareness of the impending descent into madness
In my solitude
Reiteration of being alone
I'm afraid
Feeling fear or apprehension
Dear Lord above
Appealing to a higher power, likely God
Send back my love
Pleading for the return of a lost love
I sit in my chair
Repetition of the act of sitting and contemplating
Filled with despair
Reiteration of a sense of hopelessness
There's no one, no one
Emphasizing the extreme loneliness
No onecould be so sad
No one else could be as profoundly sad
With gloom everywhere
Reiteration of a pervasive sense of gloom
I sit and I stare
Continuation of sitting and contemplating
I know that I'll soon go mad
Anticipating the descent into madness
In my solitude
Reiteration of being alone
I'm afraid
Reaffirming the feeling of fear or apprehension
Dear Lord above
Repetition of appealing to a higher power
Send back my love
Repetition of pleading for the return of love
