Eternal Yearning: Porcelain People's Melancholic Ode to Lost Love
Lyrics
Hold me close
Expressing a desire for physical closeness.
Hold me close so I can
Reiterating the request for close physical connection.
Always remember you
Desiring a lasting memory of the person being held close.
Always remember you
Emphasizing the importance of remembering the person.
Oh, my girl
Endearing term for the addressed person, likely a romantic partner.
It’s almost sad to think
Expressing a bittersweet sentiment about the upcoming separation.
You won’t be next to me
Acknowledging the upcoming absence of the person.
Forever
Expressing a desire for a lasting connection despite the separation.
Despite of being young
Acknowledging youth but hinting at challenges that come with age.
It seems like we’ll struggle with age
Suggesting potential difficulties in the future.
Don’t say you won’t
Requesting not to deny the challenges ahead.
I heard you weep about it the other day
Noting awareness of the partner's emotional response to the challenges.
Oh, my girl
Repeating the endearing term for the addressed person.
It’s almost hard to believe
Expressing disbelief or difficulty in accepting the impending separation.
You won’t be next to me
Acknowledging the emotional challenge of the person's absence.
Forever
Reiterating the desire for a lasting connection despite challenges.
I’m not afraid
Stating fearlessness in admitting ongoing love.
To admit I still love your pretty face
Expressing continued affection for the person's physical appearance.
But your moles and and your scent
Noting changes in perception, suggesting a shift from the physical to the abstract.
Are now as abstract as some images
Describing the person's features as now less tangible and more like abstract images.
Oh, my girl
Repeating the endearing term for the addressed person.
It’s almost sad to think
Reiterating the emotional challenge of contemplating the separation.
The love which made us meet
Reflecting on the love that brought the individuals together.
Is over
Stating that the previously mentioned love is now concluded or no longer present.
