Echoes of Love Lost: Unveiling the Emotion in Polymorose's 'Sometimes Man'
Lyrics
Sometimes man begins to cry
Sometimes, a man experiences moments of emotional vulnerability and sheds tears.
For days he thought were forgotten
Reflecting on days he thought were left in the past but still linger in his memory.
She's gone away
A significant person in his life has departed.
Left me to stay
She left him behind and entrusted him to protect his emotionally wounded heart.
And guard my heart which is rotten
He acknowledges the damage to his heart, describing it as rotten.
And I won't hang myself for you
He rejects the idea of self-harm for the sake of someone else.
And make you cry again
He won't put himself through actions that would make her cry once more.
I'll just wait for you to sing
He will patiently wait for her to express herself, indicating a commitment as her "sometimes man."
Cause I'm your sometimes man
Reiterating his role as someone who is intermittently present for her.
I feel so numb
He experiences a sense of emotional numbness.
I feel so numb
Repetition emphasizing the depth of emotional numbness he feels.
I feel so numb, I
Continuation of expressing a profound emotional numbness.
He picked himself up from the bed
After emotional turmoil, he gets up and proceeds with daily routines, symbolized by making coffee.
Made himself a nice coffee
Engaging in simple tasks, trying to move forward from emotional pain.
He called his Dad, said "Dad, guess what?"
He shares positive news with his father, indicating a desire to reconnect.
"I'm coming home for your birthday"
He plans to visit his father for a special occasion, his birthday.
Please just hold yourself in place
An appeal for self-restraint during challenging times, particularly the harsh winter.
I know the winter's bad
Aware of the difficulties, he reassures that better times will come.
Scott will come around
Reference to someone named Scott, indicating a positive influence or support.
And you will see that I'm your sometimes man
Assurance that he is the person she can rely on intermittently.
I'm your sometimes man
Reiteration of his role as her sometimes-present man.
