Something Below
Echoes of Regret: Moonfables' Haunting Reflections
Lyrics
I was the last one there to leave your side
I remained by your side until the end
Even as the dirt was thrown in
Even as dirt was thrown onto the grave
Oh why can't I let a dead thing die
Expressing difficulty in moving on from a loss
Now everybody's judging my every move
Feeling scrutinized by others for every action
Was a stranger's arms I craved that night
Seeking comfort in the arms of a stranger
The same hour your body went cold
Reflecting on the moment of death
They were broken words I sang in spite
Singing words despite feeling broken
But still alone I'm here laid on the floor
Still feeling alone and vulnerable
Yeah I'm the ice left on the lake
Symbolizing emotional coldness or detachment
When Springtime's ready to call
Metaphor for a time of renewal and change
Nobody should ever be this cold
Expressing the extreme emotional state of coldness
But I only know how to numb
Having difficulty dealing with emotions
Break me down
Expressing a desire to be broken down
Or melt me thin
Expressing a desire to be emotionally vulnerable
And maybe there is something below
Suggesting the possibility of hidden depths or emotions
Oh maybe there is something below
Repeating the idea of hidden depths or emotions
I don't know
Expressing uncertainty about what lies beneath the surface
Every time I try to grow some wings
Struggling to develop and progress
I let my coffee get cold by the sink
Metaphor for neglecting personal warmth and comfort
So I open my shades and I let the light in
Opening up to positivity and illumination
And tell the ghost at the door it's time to go
Telling the past to move on and leave
You used to tell me we had connection
Remembering a past connection with someone
I tried to give you magic and rhymes
Offering magical and poetic gestures
Yeah you used to beg me never to leave ya
Reflecting on the reversal of roles in a relationship
Now look who left who first this time
Pointing out the irony of who left first
Yeah I'm the rain that falls on the lake
Symbolizing sadness in the midst of happiness
When everybody's wanting the sun
When others seek positivity, feeling alone
Nobody should ever be alone
Expressing the undesirability of loneliness
But I only know how to run
Knowing only how to escape or avoid
Break me down
Expressing a desire to be broken down emotionally
Pull me in
Yearning to be drawn into emotions
And maybe there is something below
Suggesting hidden depths or emotions below the surface
Maybe there is something below
Reiterating the possibility of hidden depths
I don't know
Expressing uncertainty about what lies beneath the surface
I can make a memory feel like yesterday
Ability to make memories vivid and enduring
I can make one moment last for decades
Reflecting on the power of moments in time
Why can't I let a dead thing die
Repeating the struggle to move on from loss
Why can't I let a dead thing die
Reiterating the difficulty of letting go
I can make a memory feel like yesterday
Ability to make memories vivid and enduring
I can make one moment last for decades
Reflecting on the power of moments in time
Why can't I let a dead thing die
Repeating the struggle to move on from loss
Why can't I let a dead thing die
Reiterating the difficulty of letting go
Why can't I let a dead thing die
Repeating the difficulty of letting go
Oh why can't I let a dead thing die
Expressing frustration at the inability to move on
Why can't I let a dead thing die
Repeating the difficulty of letting go
Oh why can't I let a dead thing die
Expressing frustration at the inability to move on
Why can't I let a dead thing die
Repeating the difficulty of letting go
Oh why can't I let a dead thing die
Expressing frustration at the inability to move on
