Old Familiar Song
Echoes of Love Lost: Nostalgic Melodies Echoing Memories
Lyrics
Another season's passed by
Expressing the passage of time, another period has gone by.
Without a sign without a single word
Highlighting the absence of communication or indication.
You used to say that you loved me
Recalling a time when the person professed love.
And I would say the same to you in return
Reciprocal declaration of affection in response.
Like an old familiar song I'd want to hear
Comparing the desire to listen repeatedly to a beloved tune to the longing for the person.
Over again
Expressing the inclination to relive the experience associated with the individual.
I remember you in the city
Recollection of the person in an urban setting, describing physical attributes.
With yellow hair and moon white skin
Further detailing the individual's appearance.
Singing songs that brought the house down
Reflecting on the person's talent in performing songs that captivated audiences.
Forgiving for whatever mood you'd be in
Willingness to pardon the person's varying emotional states.
You could count on it
Asserting reliability or dependability associated with the person's performances.
With an old familiar song they'd want to hear
Comparing the allure of an enduringly popular song to the appeal of the person's performances.
Over again
Reiterating the desire for repetition or recurrence.
"What a genius!
Quoting admiration for the person's artistic abilities.
Their way with words and melody!"
Further expressing admiration for the person's skill in both lyrics and melody.
Just like me they read you wrong
Identifying a parallel between misinterpretations faced by the singer and the person.
In an old familiar song we'd want to hear
Echoing the desire for a repeated experience akin to the appeal of a familiar song.
Over again
Reiterating the longing for a repetitive encounter or scenario.
