Autumn Beach
Autumn Beach Reflections: Love Fades, Memories Linger
Lyrics
She shot me Mona Lisa's eyes in the morning
Experiencing a gaze reminiscent of Mona Lisa's enigmatic expression in the morning
Without a smile she asked me “where were you last night?”
Being questioned without a smile about whereabouts from the previous night
I told her “I returned as soon as I was able”
Explaining a prompt return as soon as possible
She poured some sugar in her oatmeal, shook her head and cried
Witnessing a negative reaction while she adds sugar to her oatmeal and expresses sadness
Need I remind you when the darkness started creeping in
Recalling a time when darkness began, but there was still some beauty in the relationship
There was still a little splendor left in us back then
Highlighting a period when there was a remaining splendor in the relationship
Now we need something swift and sweet at the same time
Expressing a need for something both swift and sweet simultaneously
Before the end of this gets started up again
Anticipating the need for a positive intervention before a negative cycle restarts
Things were halfway okay back in the middle
Reflecting on a time when things were moderately okay
clong that autumn beach we held each other tight
Revisiting an intimate moment on an autumn beach where they held each other tightly
No authority on duty to patrol us
Noting the absence of authority figures, allowing freedom in their actions
Drunk again on memories that we left behind
Intoxicated with memories from the past
Need I remind you when the darkness started creeping in
Recalling a time when darkness began, but there was still some beauty in the relationship (repeated)
There was still a little splendor left in us back then
Highlighting a period when there was a remaining splendor in the relationship (repeated)
Now we need something swift and sweet at the same time
Expressing a need for something both swift and sweet simultaneously (repeated)
Before the end of this gets started up again
Anticipating the need for a positive intervention before a negative cycle restarts (repeated)
When all the goodness turned to grief in us
Describing a transformation from goodness to grief in the relationship
I couldn't stand up, I couldn't sleep
Experiencing physical and emotional challenges, unable to stand and sleep
Like a life that's bled and died in me
Comparing life to something that has bled and died within
Covered up by fallen leaves
Symbolizing the concealment of pain with fallen leaves on the autumn beach
On that autumn beach
Emphasizing the setting as an autumn beach, indicating a season of change and transition
