Solitude Blues
Echoes of Solitude: Ricardo Portman's Melancholic Reverie
Lyrics
You're so far away
You're physically distant or emotionally distant.
You're so far away
Reiteration of the sense of distance and separation.
And I don't know what you say of me
Uncertainty about what others say or think about the speaker.
You're so far away
Repetition of feeling distant, emphasizing the emotional gap.
And I’m so empty
The speaker feels a sense of emptiness, possibly due to the distance.
And I don't know what you think of me
Uncertainty about how others perceive the speaker.
In the solitude so dark
Being alone in a dark and lonely place.
In the solitude so dark
Reiteration of the solitude and darkness, emphasizing isolation.
In the void
Reference to a void, possibly symbolizing the absence or emptiness.
I wait for you
Waiting for someone in the midst of this solitude.
You're so far away
Repetition of the feeling of being far away, emphasizing distance.
In the silence
In a state of silence, possibly highlighting the lack of communication.
And I don't know what you feel for me
Uncertainty about the emotions or thoughts of the other person.
You're so far away
Reiteration of feeling distant and the speaker's emotional emptiness.
And I’m so empty
The speaker feels a profound sense of emptiness.
And I don't know what you think of me
Uncertainty about how others perceive the speaker.
In the solitude so dark
Being alone in a dark and lonely place, echoing the earlier solitude.
In the solitude so dark
Reiteration of the deep isolation and darkness.
In the void
Reference to a void, highlighting the emptiness or absence.
I wait for you.
Continued waiting for someone in the midst of this solitude.
