Wistful Echoes: Embracing Unfulfilled Dreams in 'Mantra'
Lyrics
We planned out exactly what we'll do
We meticulously planned our future actions.
Explore together like those characters in the stories of our youth
We intended to explore together, similar to characters in our youthful stories.
But it would never be us against the world
Our unity wouldn't be a defiance of the world.
Because they'll say we remind them of what it means to be alive
Others would perceive us as a reminder of the essence of being alive.
Our bodies close as we search the Milky Way
Physically close, we navigate the Milky Way together.
All of our worries begin to whither away
As we do so, our concerns begin to fade away.
We are a pattern amidst beautiful disarray
We form a pattern within a beautiful state of chaos.
But none of this was to ever be
However, none of this envisioned future became a reality.
Or not yet at least
At least not yet; it remains unrealized.
Your words are a mantra in my head
Your words echo repeatedly in my mind like a mantra.
I wish things were different
I desire a different reality than the current one.
Your words are a mantra in my head
Your words continue to resonate in my head like a mantra.
I wish things were different
Expressing a persistent wish for a different circumstance.
We couldn't find the path to close the distance
We struggled to find a way to bridge the emotional distance.
I'm so happy that you entered my life
I feel immense joy that you came into my life, even if only momentarily.
If for just an instant
This happiness is fleeting, lasting only for a short moment.
My heart is aching
My heart is in pain, possibly due to emotional distress.
Honestly I'm spent
I am genuinely exhausted or emotionally drained.
I know we can't keep fooling ourselves
We can't continue deceiving ourselves about the situation.
And though I'm hurt
Despite the pain, I am devoid of regret.
I'm vacant of regret
Feeling empty or lacking remorse for the current state.
Your words are a mantra in my head
Your words persist as a mantra in my thoughts.
I wish things were different
I yearn for a reality different from the present.
Your words are a mantra in my head
Your words continue to reverberate in my mind like a mantra.
I wish things were different
Expressing an ongoing desire for a different set of circumstances.
I wish things were different
A repeated expression of longing for a different reality.
