Pass Me By
Reflections of Concealed Emotions: Niall Mutter's Poignant Tale
Lyrics
When that river dries
Reflecting on a time of hardship or difficulty, symbolized by a dried-up river.
Not a star in the sky
Expressing a sense of emptiness or despair, as symbolized by the absence of stars in the sky.
What would I be
Questioning one's identity and purpose in the absence of external stimuli or inspiration.
With nothing to see
Contemplating the impact of having nothing visually stimulating or meaningful in life.
But still these days pass me by
Feeling a sense of detachment or disconnection as time passes without significant events or experiences.
I wanna tell you, but instead I hide
Expressing a desire to communicate but choosing to conceal one's true feelings.
You laugh about it, but there’s tears in your eyes,
Highlighting a contradiction where laughter masks underlying sadness or emotional pain.
I’d like to hold you in my arms one more time
Yearning to embrace a loved one again, emphasizing the significance of shared moments.
for the moment we shared, but I didn’t care
Acknowledging a disregard for potential consequences in the past, emphasizing carelessness.
the pain it could have caused
Reflecting on the possible negative effects of one's actions and decisions.
Oh why, do I lie
Expressing frustration or regret for engaging in deceptive behavior.
When that forest dies
Using the metaphor of a dying forest to convey a sense of loss or devastation.
Can’t imagine why
Expressing bewilderment or disbelief at the cause of the forest's demise.
What will I give
Questioning what can be offered or sacrificed in the face of irreversible change.
It’s gone in the wind
Highlighting the ephemeral nature of offerings, suggesting their fleeting impact.
Still these days pass me by
Reiterating a sense of time passing without significant events or personal growth.
I wanna tell you, but instead I hide
Repeating the desire to communicate honestly while choosing to conceal one's true feelings.
You laugh about it, but there’s tears in your eyes,
Emphasizing the contradiction between laughter and hidden emotional pain.
I’d like to hold you in my arms one more time
Expressing a longing to reunite physically with a loved one, valuing shared moments.
for the moment we shared, but I didn’t care the pain it could have caused
Reiterating a lack of concern for potential consequences in the past, acknowledging indifference.
Oh why, do I lie
Expressing frustration or regret for engaging in deceptive behavior, questioning motives.
But still these days, still these days pass
Emphasizing the persistent nature of time passing without meaningful experiences.
But still these days pass
Repeating the idea that days continue to pass without notable events or personal growth.
But still these days pass
Reiterating the theme of time passing without significant change or progress.
