Waves
Echoes of Longing: Nell Bryden's Melancholic Waves
Lyrics
Counting down the seasons as they blow by
Reflecting on the passing seasons, acknowledging their transient nature.
Everything is changing, blurring time.
Observing a sense of constant change and the blurring of time.
And I called you in the night 'cause I can't sleep
Seeking solace by reaching out in the night due to insomnia or emotional unrest.
The distance in-between us haunting me.
Feeling haunted by the emotional distance between the speaker and someone significant.
If my heart breaks, if my heart breaks
Expressing vulnerability, questioning if the impact of personal struggles would be felt by the other person.
Would you feel it? Would you feel it?
-If my world changed, if my world changed,
-Would you know it? Would you know it?
-If I threw a stone in the water,
-Would you see the waves it made on the other side?
-If my heart breaks, if my heart breaks
-Would you feel it? Would you feel it?
-Trapped between the walls now, they're closing in
Feeling confined and trapped, with a sense of impending isolation.
It's been getting colder, it's on my skin
Noticing a physical change, a growing chill that is affecting the speaker emotionally.
And I need you in the night, 'cause I can't sleep
Expressing the need for emotional support during sleepless nights.
The distance in-between us haunting me.
Reiterating the emotional distance as a haunting presence.
If my heart breaks, if my heart breaks
Continuing to question if the emotional impact would be recognized by the other person.
Would you feel it? Would you feel it?
-If my world changed, if my world changed,
-Would you know it? Would you know it?
-If I threw a stone in the water,
-Would you see the waves it made on the other side?
-If my heart breaks, if my heart breaks
-Would you feel it? Would you feel it?
-Could you get here? Could you save me?
Pleading for support and wondering if the person can provide assistance in times of need.
If the world came down around me
Questioning if the person would notice and intervene if the speaker's world was falling apart.
Would you notice any difference at all?
Raising doubt about whether any difference in the speaker's condition would be acknowledged.
If my heart breaks, if my heart breaks
Repeating the earlier question about recognition and understanding of the speaker's emotional state.
Would you know?
-If my heart breaks, if my heart breaks
Reiterating the theme of emotional impact, questioning if changes and heartbreaks would be felt by the other person.
Would you feel it? Would you feel it?
-If my world changed, if my world changed,
-Would you know it? Would you know it?
-If I threw a stone in the water,
-Would you see the waves it made on the other side?
-If my heart breaks, if my heart breaks
-Would you feel it? Would you feel it?
