10,000 Summers
Eternal Summers: Unveiling the Poignant Tapestry of No Devotion's '10,000 Summers'
Lyrics
Hand me that glass
Request for a glass
Hold it to the light
Inspecting the glass in the light
There's a crack but it's still water tight
Noting a crack, but it's still sealed
Pour me a drink because it's getting hot
Asking for a drink due to increasing warmth
Since you went and put that dress on
Referring to a moment when the addressee wore a dress
To pirouette in silhouette
Describing a dance move in silhouette
And even when you're gone
Even in absence, the image persists
I still see it:
Recalling a visual memory
Ten thousand summers
Reflecting on countless summers
Cannot replace what we lost when you
Expressing the irreplaceable loss
went away.
Highlighting the departure
Ten thousand summers in the grass
Reiterating the significance of summers
And though it's getting dark
Despite darkness, acknowledging transience
Remember this will pass
Emphasizing the passing nature of hardships
We take your car but it won't run
Encountering transportation issues
So we wait for the train but it never comes
Waiting in vain, symbolizing anticipation
Now we're underground in the heat
Transitioning to an underground setting
Listening to your songs
Listening to shared music
One headphone each
Sharing a connection through music
Sing into my mouth
Intimacy and closeness
Fill up my chestThe day will come
An ominous foreshadowing of a future loss
You'll run out of breath.
Foretelling a breathless moment
Ten thousand summers
Repeating the theme of irreparable loss
Cannot replace what we lost when you
Reiterating the impact of the departure
went away
Revisiting the significance of summers
Ten thousand summers in the sand
Despite coldness, acknowledging transience
And though it's getting cold
Emphasizing the passing nature of hardships
Remember this will pass
Stating the eternal nature of the sun
And this sun will never set
Repeating the eternal aspect of the sun
And this sun
Reiterating the enduring nature of summers
Ten thousand summers
Highlighting the irreplaceable loss again
Cannot replace what we lost when you
Reiterating the impact of the departure
went away
Revisiting the significance of summers
Ten thousand summers in the dance
Despite fatigue, acknowledging transience
And though you're getting tired
Emphasizing the passing nature of hardships
Remember this will pass
Stating the eternal nature of the sun
And this sun
Repeating the eternal aspect of the sun
Will never set
Concluding with the enduring nature of summers
