Augusta
Echoes of Love and Longing: Augusta by Pamela Means Unveiled
Lyrics
After the show I watched a show about earthquakes
Exploring post-show content, focusing on earthquakes
Predicting underground movement of the earth's plates
Discussing the prediction of subterranean movements
A tiny twig snaps then the branch breaks
Drawing a parallel between twig breaking and heartache
The very same way the human heart aches
Comparing the breaking of a branch to emotional pain
I sleep alone tonight up here in Maine
Expressing solitude in Maine
But I've got a perfectly memorized view of your face
Remembering the beloved's face in detail
Your right cheek where I watch your pulse race
Focusing on the right cheek and observing a racing pulse
One of your wonders that fascinates
Appreciating a fascinating aspect of the beloved
Your mother has been welcoming
Acknowledging the warmth and acceptance from the beloved's mother
She opened the door to your family
Highlighting the welcoming nature of the beloved's family
But the pain of rejection has a reach
Addressing the pain of rejection, even from afar
Even all the way from Athens, Greece
Referencing the geographical distance of Athens, Greece
You were told to tell half your life
Alluding to sharing only a portion of one's life
To keep your secret as a sacrifice
Emphasizing the need for secrecy as a sacrifice
But you're the only one who is compromised
Pointing out the unique compromise of the speaker
You're the only one with anguish in her eyes
Highlighting the speaker's internal suffering
The main difference between them and me
Contrasting the speaker with others in terms of love
I love you for all you are yet to be
Expressing love for the potential and evolving self of the beloved
Every fiber of your entire identity
Affirming love for every aspect of the beloved's identity
You are my happiness you're inspiring
Declaring the beloved as a source of happiness and inspiration
