The Catch
Echoes of Regret: Paper Doll's Melodic Reflections on Unprepared Love
Lyrics
I'm sorry for listening to your music
Expressing regret for listening to the person's music.
'Cause now, it reminds you of me
Noting that the music now triggers memories of the speaker.
And maybe that's the catch with showing people tunes
Reflecting on the downside of sharing music – it becomes associated with memories.
Is they're attached to memories
Highlighting the emotional attachment people have to music and memories.
So long (so alone)
Expressing a sense of loneliness or solitude.
Since I've been here
Describing a period of time since the speaker was last present.
Don't you realize that I never come prepared
Noting a lack of preparedness and awareness.
So long (so alone)
Repeating the sense of loneliness or solitude.
Since I've been scared
Acknowledging a period of fear or anxiety.
Don't you realize that I never come prepared
Reiterating the lack of preparedness and awareness.
I'm sorry for everything I said
Apologizing for words spoken and their unintended consequences.
I didn't realize that my actions had effects
Realizing the impact of actions on emotions.
And maybe I am just left sad
Suggesting a state of sadness as a consequence.
From losing something that I never even had
Expressing a sense of loss for something that was never truly possessed.
So long (so alone)
Reiterating a period of solitude or separation.
Since I've been here
Pointing out the lack of preparedness once again.
Don't you realize that I never come prepared
Reemphasizing the time spent alone.
So long (so alone)
Repeating a period of fear or anxiety.
Since I've been scared
Underlining the ongoing lack of preparedness and awareness.
Don't you realize that I never come prepared
