Wish
Unfulfilled Wishes: A Melancholic Journey of Longing and Self-Reflection
Lyrics
I close my eyes
Closing eyes, perhaps to concentrate or reflect.
I take a breath and then
Taking a breath, preparing for a significant moment.
I make my wish
Making a wish, expressing a desire.
I wait and wait and
Anticipating the fulfillment of the wish.
It didn't come true
Reality check: Wish did not come true.
I wished for you
Specifically wished for someone ("you").
But you never came
The desired person never appeared.
Am I the one to blame
Questioning self-blame for the unfulfilled wish.
The party ends
Shifting the scene to a party ending.
The people leave and I'm
Alone after the party, contemplating the situation.
Still sitting here
Expressing confusion about remaining in the same place.
Why am I still here
Questioning the reasons for staying put.
It didn't come true
Reiteration: The wish was not fulfilled.
The wish was you
Clarifying that the desired outcome was the person ("you").
But you never came
Reaffirming that the person did not show up.
Am I the one to blame
Continued self-reflection on responsibility for the outcome.

-I close my eyes
Repeating the initial ritual of closing eyes and making a wish.
I take a breath and then
Repeating the process of preparing for the wish.
I make my wish
Reiterating the act of making a wish.
I wait and wait and
Repeating the anticipation of the wish coming true.
It didn't come true
Emphasizing the recurrence of unfulfilled wishes.
The wish was you
Restating that the desired outcome was the person ("you").
But you never came
Reaffirming the absence of the person in the wish.
Am I the one to blame
Repetition of questioning self-blame for the unfulfilled wish.
Am I the one to blame
-Am I the one to blame
-Am I the one to blame
Final repetition, questioning personal responsibility.
