When It All Goes Away
Echoes of Fading Love
Lyrics
Shouldn't be calling this late,
Expressing hesitation or regret about making a late call.
I hung up the phone though I wanted to stay,
Despite the desire to continue the conversation, the speaker decided to end the call.
There's a little part of me that you've kept away
Acknowledging that a part of the speaker is kept hidden or reserved by the other person.
I could have been clearer, I should have clearer
Admitting a lack of clarity in communication and expressing a need for clearer expression.
So wait,
Introducing a moment of waiting or anticipation.
Just hold on and give it more time
Encouraging patience and giving more time to the situation.
Cause' right now it's feeling
Describing the current emotional state as intense or overwhelming.
Like a hit to the chest, can't draw any breath,
Comparing the emotional impact to a powerful blow to the chest, making it difficult to breathe.
Like a wreaking ball falling through all we had left,
Using a metaphor of a wrecking ball to symbolize the destruction of what remained in the relationship.
Cause' who would've thought, this would all go to waste
Expressing surprise or disbelief that the relationship has come to this unfortunate state.
But I don't know what happens when it all goes away
Expressing uncertainty about the outcome or consequences when everything falls apart.
April has turned into May,
Highlighting the passage of time, but the speaker's emotional state remains unchanged.
The seasons are changing but I still feel the same
Indicating a resistance to change or an inability to overcome emotional hurdles.
There's a little part of me that I cannot change
Acknowledging a part of the speaker that is resistant to transformation.
I should have been clearer, I could have clearer
Reiterating the need for clearer communication and self-expression.
So wait,
Repeating the theme of waiting and encouraging patience.
Just hold on and give it more time
Emphasizing the importance of giving more time to the situation.
Cause' right now it's feeling
Restating the intensity of the current emotional experience.
Like a hit to the chest, can't draw any breath,
Using vivid imagery to convey the difficulty in breathing and the emotional impact.
Like a wreaking ball falling through all we had left,
Continuing the metaphor of destruction and loss through a wrecking ball.
Cause' who would've thought, this would all go to waste
Reiterating the surprise or disbelief that the relationship has deteriorated.
But I don't know what happens when it all goes away
Expressing uncertainty about the aftermath when everything falls apart.
Like a hit to the chest, can't draw any breath,
Repeating the impact on the speaker's ability to breathe and the emotional weight.
Like a wreaking ball falling through all we had left,
Reiterating the destructive nature of the situation through the wrecking ball metaphor.
Cause' who would've thought, this would all go to waste
Echoing the surprise or regret about the unexpected turn of events.
But I don't know what happens when it all goes away
Reiterating uncertainty about the consequences when everything falls apart.
Like a hit to the chest, can't draw any breath,
Continuing to describe the impact on the speaker's ability to breathe and the emotional turmoil.
Like a wreaking ball falling through all we had left,
Maintaining the metaphor of a wrecking ball to signify the loss of what remained.
Cause' who would've thought, this would all go to waste
Repeating the theme of surprise or disappointment regarding the relationship's deterioration.
But I don't know what happens when it all goes away
Expressing uncertainty about the unknown consequences when everything comes to an end.
