Could Be
Navigating Loneliness in a Wonderful World: Naked Eyes' 'Could Be' Reflections
Lyrics
Could be, it is my mistake
Expressing a possibility that the speaker made a mistake
Could be, that I'm here too late
Suggesting the speaker might have arrived at a situation too late
Could be, there's a hole in my wonderful world
Speculating about a flaw or imperfection in the speaker's world
I know, that there's something wrong
Acknowledging an awareness of something being amiss
You said, that you'd be along
Recalling a promise or assurance that the person would join
But now, I can see that you're not gonna come
Realization that the person expected is not going to arrive
Sitting in this room with these people
Describing the speaker's current location with other people
It's just like a fantasy
Comparing the situation to a fantasy, possibly indicating an unreal or surreal feeling
Loneliness in such a crowd
Noting loneliness even in the midst of a crowd
I can see
Observing and acknowledging the speaker's loneliness
Could be, it is my mistake
Repetition of the idea of a possible mistake by the speaker
Could be, that I'm here too late
Repetition of the idea of being possibly too late in a situation
Could be, there's a hole in my wonderful world
Reiterating the notion of a potential flaw in the speaker's world
Everyone I meet seems to be a part of the conspiracy
Feeling that everyone the speaker meets is part of a conspiracy, suggesting paranoia or distrust
Looking at me with those searching eyes
People looking at the speaker with intense or probing eyes
Can they see?
Raising a question about whether others can perceive something about the speaker
Could be, it is my mistake
Reiteration of the possibility of a mistake by the speaker
Could be, that I'm here too late
Reiteration of the possibility of being too late in a situation
Could be, there's a hole in my wonderful world
Reiteration of the idea of a potential flaw in the speaker's world
In my world
Emphasizing that the described world is the speaker's own
In my world
Reiteration of the speaker's possession of the described world
