Cicadas
Echoes of Regret: Unveiling the Unspoken in Regina Laredo's 'Cicadas'
Lyrics
I hate the way that I tend to
I dislike the way I have a tendency to
Still spend my days thinking of you
Still, spend my days thinking about you
Wishing I could hold wind in my hands
Wishing I could grasp something intangible like the wind
Love to say id' never hate you
I would love to claim I would never hate you
But to this day who knows if it's true
But until now, who knows if that statement holds true
Just hope that one day you'll understand
Just hoping that eventually, you'll comprehend
Know you will never call on the weekends
Acknowledging you won't call on the weekends
But you still remind me of that song
Yet, you still bring to mind that particular song
The unspoken cruelty of my fears
Reflecting on the unspoken cruelty of my fears
How it felt so right all these years
Recalling how it felt so right throughout all these years
Sound box will go quiet once rain falls
The soundbox falls silent when rain descends
But after a while it'll come back worse
But with time, it resurfaces even more agonizing
Watching as the vinegar blends
Observing as the bitterness mingles
Wondering how I'm not okay
Contemplating why I'm not emotionally well
The thought of August won't bring me back home
The thought of August doesn't bring me back home
Even though it's buried in tears
Even though it's concealed beneath tears
Even to myself it's not clear
Even to myself, it's not evident
Wishing we were kept tied on a rope
Wishing we were bound together by a rope
Know you will never call on the weekends
Acknowledging you won't call on the weekends
But you still remind me of that song
Yet, you still evoke memories of that song
The unspoken cruelty of my fears
Reflecting on the unspoken cruelty of my fears
How it felt so right all these years
Recalling how it felt so right throughout all these years
Sound box will go quiet once rain falls
The soundbox falls silent when rain descends
But after a while it will come back worse
But with time, it resurfaces even more agonizing
Really
Expressing deep emotions
I just
A moment of contemplation or hesitation
I'm sorry for everything
Apologizing for everything
I am a bit of an asshole
Acknowledging personal shortcomings
And by a bit I mean a lot
Emphasizing a significant degree of being unkind
And
A pause or a transition in thoughts
You know what if
Expressing uncertainty or indecision
Well I don't know
Indecision or lack of clarity
(Um) I'm sorry for any
Apology for any harm caused
Any harm I may have caused
Conveying a hug or embrace
(Um) Un abrazo
Concluding with a gesture of comfort
