Reflections of Regret: A Melancholic Journey

Lyrics

We all try to live in sync

We all strive to live in harmony

In time without consequences

In a period without facing repercussions

Like skin without the ink

Similar to unmarked skin

Pure, without all the markings

Pure, without the scars and symbols

Of life we live so bitter

Describing the bitterness of life we experience

And so full of regret

Filled with regret

We can't help but consider

Contemplating a delicate, distant conclusion

A distant fragile end

Reflecting on a fragile end

We were bred to call it life

We were taught to call it life

But have only grown to struggle

But have only experienced hardship

Looking back from where I am

Reflecting on the past from the current perspective

It never really ends

Suggesting that it never truly concludes

We're too petty to agree

Human nature is too small-minded to find common ground

Our love was only letters

Love reduced to mere letters

I knew you better then

Understanding someone better in the past

Now we are only strangers

Now estranged from each other

And we ended it so bitter

Ending a relationship with bitterness and regret

And so full of regret

Full of remorse for the way it concluded

We couldn't help but consider

Considering a definite and shallow conclusion

A sure and shallow end

Reflecting on the illusion of having it all

We thought we had it made

Initial belief in a perfect situation

But only made each other suffer

Only causing pain and hardship for each other

Looking back from where I am

Looking back, realizing it should have ended earlier

It should have ended years ago

Acknowledging a delayed conclusion

I made it all up years ago

Admitting to fabricating the past

I made it up so you would learn to love me

Creating a false narrative to secure love

Allow me to explain

Expressing a desire to clarify

I swear I'll make it short

Promising a brief explanation

Allow me to explain

Repeating the intention to explain

I swear it's worth your while

Ensuring that the explanation is worthwhile

I fill these blank pages

Filling blank pages with deceit and false claims

With lies and false statements

Comparing fabricated stories to criminals in captivity

Like crooks in their cages

Metaphorically describing a helpless state

Just left there to rot

Using a metaphor for a sense of hopelessness

I fill these small stairwells

Filling confined spaces with imaginative stories

With stories and tall tails

Creating tales and narratives

Like a train where the track fails

Comparing to a train derailed with no chance of recovery

All hope is gone

Alluding to a loss of hope

Set up like a sonnet

Structured like a sonnet with an inevitable conclusion

The line ends regardless

Despite the structure, the end is inevitable

But like a drop through a faucet

Using a metaphor for a continuous, uncontrollable flow

It never seems to stop

Despite expectations, it doesn't cease

So if it's just how you planned it

If this is the intended outcome

To the breath your life ended

Reflecting on the moment life ceases

From the moment you saw him

From the instant of realizing a mistake

You knew we'd gone wrong

Acknowledging a deviation from the right path
