Empty Promises
Echoes of Broken Vows: Ocean Velvets' Melancholy Tale
Lyrics
The streets are hollow
The surroundings lack substance or meaning.
When you're not there
The emptiness is felt when you are absent.
You drink away your sorrows
Trying to escape emotional pain through alcohol.
To hide your pain
Using drinking as a way to conceal emotional suffering.
You beg, steal, you borrow
Desperation leads to seeking help or resources from others.
And ask for change
Borrowing or seeking assistance, possibly financially.
But when i see you in the morning
Feeling unusual when encountering the person in the morning.
I feel strange
An unsettling sensation caused by their presence.
Cause in my dreams
Referencing dreams where deception and stories are revealed.
The lies and all the stories you told
Deceptive statements and narratives resurface during sleep.
Come to life, in the snow
Manifesting in a dream-like setting, specifically in the snow.
Your flowers start to grow
Symbolic growth or change represented by blossoming flowers.
Tell me all your troubles
Encouragement to share personal struggles or problems.
If you're ok
Expressing concern for the well-being of the other person.
Then maybe tomorrow
Hoping for improvement or positive change in the future.
You can change
An optimistic view that change is possible.
I'm swimming in the ocean
Using the metaphor of swimming in the ocean to convey unease.
Cause i feel strange
Feeling strange or uncomfortable in the ocean of emotions.
Floating out from shore
Drifting away from safety and security.
Never to breathe again
An irreversible decision leading to a metaphorical drowning.
Cause in my dreams
Reiteration of dreams where falsehoods become real in the snow.
The lies and all the stories you told
Revisiting lies and stories with a visual backdrop of snow.
Come to life, in the snow
Symbolic growth in the form of blossoming flowers in the snow.
Your flowers start to grow
Continuation of the dream theme with positive imagery.
Cause in my dreams
Repetition emphasizing the impact of dreams on reality.
The lies and all the stories you told
Revisiting deceptive narratives in the dream realm.
Come to life, in the snow
Highlighting the surreal nature of lies becoming real in dreams.
Your flowers start to grow
Continuation of positive growth represented by flowers.
Crying out your name in the rain
Calling out for the person in a metaphorical storm of emotions.
Don't want to tell you but you're falling
Reluctance to convey the truth about the person's downward spiral.
Sailing down the river to see your face
Navigating a difficult journey to confront the person.
To catch you in between these empty promises
Acknowledging the person's unfulfilled commitments and assurances.
These empty promises
Highlighting the disappointment and hollowness of unkept promises.
