Lyrics
Was it for nothing I said,
Expressing doubt or questioning the value of what was said previously.
It's so attractive to be so silent,
Highlighting the allure of maintaining silence, suggesting a positive quality in being quiet.
It keeps the mystery on and it seems,
Emphasizing the idea that silence adds a sense of mystery, maintaining intrigue.
It keeps it hanging on me.
Indicating that the silence has a lingering effect or impact on the speaker.
Another letter from home,
Receiving another communication from home.
I don't know why I even read it,
Expressing uncertainty about the motivation to read the letter from home.
There's one big question,
Presenting a significant question arising from the contents of the letter.
I don't know why I must repeat it.
Expressing frustration or confusion about the need to repeatedly confront the same question.
Maybe I care a little,
Acknowledging a degree of caring or concern.
Perhaps I'm ashamed of the story I told,
Admitting a sense of shame or regret regarding a previous narrative or account.
But you were so eager,
Noting the other person's enthusiasm or eagerness.
Was it so bad for me to say it,
Pondering if it was wrong to speak the truth or say what the other person wanted to hear.
What you wanna hear?
Questioning the appropriateness of the speaker's words.
Another letter from home,
Receiving yet another letter from home.
I don't know why I even read it,
Expressing uncertainty about the reason for reading the letter.
There's one big question,
Reiterating the presence of a significant question in the letter.
I don't know why I must repeat it.
Repeating the frustration or confusion regarding the recurrent question.
And you'll feel better if you don't speak,
Suggesting that avoiding speech might lead to feeling better.
And you'll feel better if you don't speak.
Repeating the idea that silence can bring about emotional improvement.
Another letter from home.
Receiving an additional letter from home.
I don't know why I even read it
Expressing uncertainty or questioning the reason for reading the letter.
There's one big question,
Reiterating the presence of a significant question in the current letter.
I don't know why I must repeat it.
Repeating the frustration or confusion about the need to address the same question again.
