Skye
Ephemeral Longing: Petrol Girls' Skye Echoes the Unseen Bonds
Lyrics
I miss the weight of you,
I long for the physical presence or impact you had on me
I
Empty line, possibly indicating a pause or reflection
I miss the weight of you, I
Reiteration of missing the presence or impact of someone
I miss the weight
Expressing a sense of longing for the weight or significance of the person
I miss the weight of you
Continuation of expressing a strong desire for the physical presence or impact
How can you not exist
Questioning the existence or reality of the absence
How can you physically be gone
Expressing disbelief or difficulty in accepting the physical absence
How are you not there waiting at the door when I come home
Yearning for the familiar presence at home
Where are you now?
Searching for the current whereabouts of the absent person
I smelt you in a dream
Recalling a sensory experience related to the absent person in a dream
You were with me
Acknowledging the presence of the person in the dream
You were real
Affirming the reality of the person in the dream
But ever since my mind could only build a puppet
Reflecting on the limitations of memory and imagination in recreating the person
You without your indignant spirit
Describing the reconstructed image of the person without certain characteristics
Your earnest eyes, expressive ears
Recalling specific features of the person, such as eyes, ears, and tail
Your noble parading tail
Highlighting the noble qualities of the absent person
And there are times that I can see you racing through the fields
Imagining the person's presence in various settings
You tearing across beaches
Visualizing the person engaged in energetic activities
You charging through the hills
Envisioning the person in dynamic scenarios
But I wish that I could hold you
Expressing a desire to physically embrace or hold the absent person
Wish I could pull you close
Yearning for physical closeness with the absent person
Press my nose into the soft fur just behind your ears
Imagining tactile interaction with specific parts of the person
Or rub it on your greying old muzzle
Desiring to engage with the person's physical attributes
You were there for half my life
Reflecting on the significant duration of the person's presence in one's life
The only half that I remember
Recalling the remembered period of the person's presence
My fingers left your coarse fur
Feeling the absence after physical contact with the person
As you exhaled forever
Acknowledging the permanent departure of the person
I miss the weight
Reiteration of missing the weight or significance of the person
I miss the weight of you
Expressing the emotional impact or void left by the absent person
I
Empty line, possibly indicating a pause or reflection
I miss the weight of you
Reiteration of missing the weight or significance of the person
Skye.
Mention of the name "Skye" as a reference to the absent person
