Four Years
Time's Echo: Four Years of Unseen Colors in Regina Laredo's Melodic Reflection
Lyrics
You say
You express
Times moving faster
Time seems to be passing quickly
Than it ever has
Faster than it ever has
But it feels the same
Despite that, the experience remains unchanged
It goes by
Time passes
You'll leave blood-stained pants
You will abandon clothing stained with blood
In the chair by the bed
Left in the chair near the bed
By when you wash them it'll be too late
When you wash them, it will be too late
Don't you tell me that it will
Do not assure me that everything will be fine
Be okay
Reiterating skepticism about a positive outcome
Cause it's been four years and I am
After four years, there's no change in my situation
Still the same
Despite the time passing
But in spite of that
However, I cannot remember my own identity
I can't recall my name
Despite the persistent self-identity struggle
And even when I try
Even when attempting, recalling my name is difficult
I can't keep the flame
I cannot sustain the passion or intensity
Keep the flame
Repeating the difficulty in maintaining intensity
We're not really strangers
We are not truly unfamiliar
We're not really friends
We are not genuine friends
I miss her so much but
I miss her greatly, but I'm relieved that she's no longer alive
So glad that she's dead
Mixed emotions about the person's absence
And when something happens
Anticipation of a future event where the speaker will transform
I'll be her again
The speaker will embody the absent person during a significant moment
Just wishing that I could
Expressing a desire to forget the emotions associated with the absent person
Forget what she felt
The struggle to erase the memories and emotions connected to her
There's something about her that feels far away
The absent person's essence feels distant
Like all of those colors I felt when I sang
Comparing the emotional experience to a vivid and distant memory
