But You Died
Eternal Echoes: A Heart's Unanswered Melody
Lyrics
Sometimes I wonder what we could've done
Sometimes, the speaker reflects on missed opportunities and wonders about alternative outcomes.
Sometimes I wonder what we could've had
The speaker contemplates what could have been in a relationship.
Sometimes I wanna go to an alternate universe
An expression of a desire to escape to a different reality.
One the isn't so sad, one where you didn't die
Yearning for a happier universe where the person being addressed didn't die.
Hey I really like you can I be your special guy
The speaker expresses affection and interest, seeking a special connection.
Is it alright if I think about it
An inquiry about contemplating the proposal or idea.
Sure, that's fine, take your time
Permission granted to think about it with no pressure.
Ok, I'll see you in a bit then
A tentative agreement to meet again later.
But I never did, never did
Regret for not fulfilling the intention to meet again.
I never saw you again
A realization that the reunion never happened.
I never got to know what you would've said
The speaker laments not knowing the person's thoughts or feelings.
And it's so unfair, it's so unfair
A sense of injustice or unfairness in the situation.
And no one seems to care
Feeling unnoticed and uncared for by others.
I never got to know, because you died
Expressing sorrow for not getting to know the person before their death.
Yeah, you died
A direct acknowledgment of the person's death.
And I cried
Describing the emotional response of crying in response to the death.
Nothing I could do would save your life
A sense of helplessness in the face of the person's death.
Whoa, whoa
An emotional expression, possibly emphasizing the gravity of the situation.
Too many nights of constant unrest
Reference to sleepless nights and emotional turmoil.
Too many nights I've been too tired to sleep
Continued exhaustion leading to difficulty sleeping.
Now is it just me, do I hear
The speaker senses an eerie quietness, possibly related to the person's absence.
A faint sound of silence, your ghostly weep
Implies a ghostly presence or a lingering impact on the speaker.
While I sleep
The mention of hearing the person's presence while asleep.
So what is it like where you are
Curiosity about the afterlife or the current state of the deceased person.
Send me a postcard sometime
A metaphorical request for communication from the afterlife.
If you're hearing this while you're haunting that
Speculation about the person's potential haunting and a request for a sign.
Could you give me a sign
Expressing doubt that the person will fulfill the request.
But you never will, you never will
Reiterating the belief that the person won't hear the speaker's words.
You'll never hear this song
Highlighting the impossibility of the deceased person listening to the song.
You'll never get a chance to sing along
A realization that the person won't participate in singing along to the song.
It's so unfair, it's so unfair
Expressing a sense of injustice and lack of understanding from others.
And no one seems to care
A repetition of the feeling of being unnoticed and uncared for.
They all just think I lied
A perception that others think the speaker is lying about the person's death.
That you died
A direct assertion of the fact that the person died.
And I cried
Reiteration of the emotional response of crying due to the death.
All because some girl I knew died
A concluding statement attributing the emotional impact to the death of an acquaintance.
Whoa, whoa
A repeated emotional expression, emphasizing the weight of the loss.
