Our Day's Coming
Disillusioned Hearts: Morten Abel's Tale of Lost Love and Broken Dreams
Lyrics
Hey man can you do me
Expressing a request for assistance
A favour of a grand nature
Asking for a significant favor
Break into my house
Suggesting breaking into the speaker's house
And pack up all my stuff
Packing up belongings from the speaker's house
And send it to me
Requesting to send the packed items to the speaker
Yeah send it to me
Reiterating the request to send belongings
'Cos I'm never comin' back
Declaring the speaker's decision to never return
No never comin' back
Emphasizing the commitment to not come back
'Cos I'm so disappointed by the visions of this man
Expressing disappointment with a man's visions
So poor at heart
Describing the man as poor at heart
Now I know where I stand
Realizing the speaker's position or stance
I'm so disappointed by the visions of love
Repeating disappointment with visions of love
The visions of the love that I've been dreamin' of
Referring to the dreamed-of love visions
The visions of the love that I've been dreamin' of
Reiterating the dreamed-of love visions
Hey man, if you cross my path
Advising not to recognize the speaker
Please don't recognise me
Requesting non-recognition of sore eyes
Don't recognise my sore eyes
Describing eyes as disillusioned
My desilluted eyes
Expressing a preference not to be recognized
And if you find me dying in the desert just leave me
Suggesting leaving the speaker in the desert
With no shelter for the burning sun
Depicting a harsh condition in the desert
And no shoes on my feet
Highlighting the lack of basic necessities
Hey man can't you see I work my fingers to the bones
Indicating hard work to the point of exhaustion
I got dark angels watching me
Noticing negative influences or challenges
With arrows on their bows
Describing dark angels with bows and arrows
Hey man can't you see that I've lost my soul
Pointing out the speaker's loss of soul
I've lost my soul to the dark and the cold
Reiterating the loss of soul to darkness and cold
I've lost my soul to the dark and the cold
Emphasizing the impact of darkness and cold on the soul
Hey man if you meet me in a crowd or all alone
Advising to ignore the speaker in a crowd or alone
Just turn your back on me
Requesting to turn away and wait until the speaker is gone
And wait 'til I'm gone
Suggesting not guiding the speaker in the wrong direction
Hey man if you see me walking
Asking not to intervene when the speaker walks in the wrong direction
In the wrong direction
Desiring freedom to be left alone
Don't try to guide me just let me be gone
Emphasizing the speaker's desire for independence
Love burns and love turns in different ways
Introducing the theme of love and its various outcomes
Sometimes love stands and sometimes love fails
Highlighting the unpredictability of love
I'm so disappointed by the visions of love
Repeating disappointment with visions of love
The visions of the love that I've been dreamin' of
Referring to the dreamed-of love visions
The visions of the love that I've been dreamin' of
Reiterating the dreamed-of love visions
The visions of the love that I've been dreamin' of
Further emphasizing the dreamed-of love visions
Love burns and love turns in different ways
Repeating the theme of love's different ways
Sometimes love stands and sometimes love fails
Stressing the variability of love
I'm so disappointed by the visions of love
Expressing continued disappointment with visions of love
The visions of the love that I've been dreamin' of
Referring again to the dreamed-of love visions
The visions of the love that I've been dreamin' of
Reiterating the dreamed-of love visions
Oh my baby these eyes coming in (...to fade)
Ending with a mention of someone or something significant fading away
