Emotional Echoes: Navigating Love's Rollercoaster in Mitchel Dae's 'cloud9'
Lyrics
Yesterday I found the letter
Discovery of a letter from the past
That I opened from you four years ago
Opened four years ago, not re-read
But I couldn't bring myself to read it again
Unable to revisit the letter emotionally
Still, I remembered every word that you wrote
Recollection of the content despite not reading
You talked about us
Content relates to 'us'
Reminding me what used to be
Reminiscent of past moments
And that's just too hard to read
Emotionally challenging to confront
Knowing now we don't talk anymore
Realization of discontinued communication
And I've tried
Attempts made to move on
But moving on is hard to do
Struggle with moving on emotionally
When I'm reminiscing over you
Nostalgic thoughts about the past relationship
Wondering if things could ever get back
Hoping for reconciliation
To the way the way they were before
Desire to return to past circumstances
And I get emotional when I think about it
Emotional response to reminiscing
It could be the lowest low or up on cloud nine
Emotions swinging between extremes
These memories
Memories strongly occupy the mind
My mind can't help but circle around them
Mind continually returns to memories
And I don't want to but I get emotional
Struggling against emotional response
Thinking about you
Difficulty avoiding thoughts of the person
And I tried telling myself
Attempt to rationalize emotions
Some of these thoughts are better off
Some thoughts deemed better left unsaid
Being left alone staying unsaid
Difficulty in suppressing thoughts about the person
But I don't know how I'm gonna leave them alone when
The person's memory is haunting
The thought of you is a ghost that's haunting my head
The person's memory is persistent
Oh so here I go again
Initiation of writing a song about the feelings
Writing you another song
Expression through song due to confusion
Cus I don't know where we went wrong
Uncertainty about the relationship's downfall
But would it make a difference if I say
Questioning if explanations matter
That I get emotional when I think about it
Emotional reaction to thoughts about the person
It could be the lowest low or up on cloud nine
Swinging emotions between extremes
These memories
Memories constantly revisited in the mind
My mind can't help but circle around them
Struggling against emotional responses
And I don't want to but I get emotional
Difficulty in avoiding thoughts about the person
Thinking about you
Sensory experiences tied to the person
And all of the senses in my mind
Abandonment of senses in favor of thoughts
Thought
Return to former thoughts despite knowing better
I left them all behind now I'm circling back
Recognition of self-blame for thoughts
Saying I know better than to think like that
Return to former thoughts despite knowing better
And all of the senses in my mind
Recognition of self-blame for thoughts
Thought
Return to former thoughts despite knowing better
I left them all behind now I'm circling back
Recognition of self-blame for thoughts
Saying I know better but you know
Acknowledgement of emotional struggle despite awareness
I get emotional when I think about it
Emotional response to thoughts of the person
I get emotional when I think about it
Continued emotional reaction to thoughts of the person
It could be the lowest low or up on cloud nine
Swinging emotions between extremes
These memories
Memories strongly occupy the mind
My mind can't help but circle around them
Mind continually returns to memories
And I don't want to but I get emotional
Struggling against emotional response
Thinking about you
Difficulty in avoiding thoughts about the person
