In Recognition
Echoes of Longing: Miss May I's Poetic Reflection on Time and Distance
Lyrics
The sand, surrounding my feet.
The sand surrounds my feet.
Drifting in the wind, looking at the ocean
I am adrift, observing the ocean.
As the waves roll by.
Watching the continuous movement of waves.
The same now as before, over and over again.
Things remain unchanged, repeating in a cycle.
Meaning washed away, with the hand of time.
Meaning and significance eroded by time.
Always the same, always the same.
A sense of repetition and familiarity.
I miss the sight of the faces I know.
I long for the familiar faces I recognize.
Their voices are the sounds I cannot let go.
Their voices linger in my thoughts, refusing to fade.
So far away that silence is all that I feel.
Distance creates a profound silence within me.
I hear them now, the sound is so perfectly clear.
Despite the distance, I hear them clearly.
My thoughts, everywhere but here.
My mind wanders, detached from the present.
Distant from where I am.
I feel far from my current location.
The path I follow now, I've already seen.
I anticipate what's ahead despite having experienced it.
The same now as before, over and over again.
Repetition of experiences, a continuous loop.
Meaning washed away with the hands of time.
Significance fades away with the passage of time.
These will not become, memories.
These moments won't merely be memories.
They will not be unfamiliar to me.
They won't feel unfamiliar; they remain close.
These will not become, memories.
These moments won't just fade into memories.
Because they are everything to me.
They're vital and essential to me.
Always the same.
A sense of repetitive significance.
I miss the sight of the faces I know.
The longing for familiar faces persists.
Their voices are the sounds that I cannot let go.
Their voices are deeply embedded, refusing to fade.
So far away that silence is all that I feel.
Distance creates an overwhelming silence.
I hear them now, the sound is so perfectly clear.
Despite distance, their presence is crystal clear.
