Lyrics
I guess they didn't really matter much at all
I guess the past difficulties and troubles didn't have much significance.
Those heartaches and carnivals after the fall
The emotional pain and chaotic experiences after a downfall.
Who's to blame I can't recall
Uncertain about who or what is responsible; memory is unclear.
There's no fingers left to point
No one is left to blame; all avenues of assigning responsibility are exhausted.
My strange loves float vaporized
My unusual or unconventional loves have disappeared or transformed.
But I could hardly register my surprise
I could hardly react because I was not expecting the outcome.
I knew right then from the look in your eyes
Realization from the expression in your eyes that nothing is permanent.
That nothing lasts for long
Understanding that things don't endure for an extended period.
Sky O Sky
An address or reference to the sky, possibly indicating fate or destiny.
Look what you've brought
Expressing consequences or outcomes brought about by the sky.
Man O man
Reflecting on the impact of events, possibly with a sense of regret.
Look what you've wrought
Observing the results or consequences of actions or circumstances.
I remember the green green grass
Nostalgia for a time of innocence and joy, represented by the green grass.
Ice creams and New Orleans
Recollection of pleasant experiences like ice creams and the charm of New Orleans.
City blocks and rambling walks
Urban settings and casual strolls, now existing only in the realm of dreams.
Are all now a dream
[Empty line]
Didn't have to go didn't have to go
An acknowledgment that departure was not necessary.
O no no no
A rejection or denial of leaving, emphasizing the decision not to go.
But you always reap what you sow
The universal principle that actions have consequences.
This world was ours to blow
The world was under our control, but now it's lost or ruined.
And now I'm just a shadow on the wall
The speaker is now just a lingering, unnoticed presence, akin to a shadow on the wall.
