Another Dead End
Echoes of Almost Love: Robbie Cavanagh's Poetic Reflections
Lyrics
Turn the colours into fading lights like
Turning vibrant colors into dimming lights
no one else gets a shot
Others don't have a chance
theres a reason I come for you in my dreams
The speaker consistently dreams about the person
does it ever get it right
Does life ever go right?
Its not that I've been failing
The speaker hasn't necessarily failed, but allowed others to win
It's more that I let them win
They've permitted others to succeed
Its turning constantly and I know
Life is constantly changing, and the speaker acknowledges another loss or failure
there's another dead
Reinforcing the idea of encountering another failure
You said repeatedly to me
The person expressed repeated affection
you loved me dearly
Professed deep love
Well I almost loved you back
The speaker almost reciprocated the love
yeah, I almost loved you back
Reiterating the near reciprocation
yeah, I almost loved you back,
Highlighting the nearness of reciprocating love
well how about that
Expressing surprise or irony about the situation
You told me this sword did more than I know
The person suggested their impact or influence is greater than known
Oh god its clear
An expression of realization or intensity about the impact
There's nothing else that kept me healing
The only thing aiding recovery is the person and their determination
but you and your will
The speaker admitted fear but was still accepted
I told you once before that I'm scared
The speaker feels there are minimal expectations
still you let me in
Life seems pointless
There's not too much to ask anymore
(Blank line)
and no reason to live
The person genuinely professed love
You said sincerely to me
Repetition of the expression of deep affection
you loved me dearly
Professed deep love
Well I almost loved you back
The speaker nearly returned the affection
yeah, I almost loved you back
Reiterating the near reciprocation
yeah, I almost loved you back,
Expressing surprise or irony about the situation
well how about that
(Blank line)
This life has taken the most of what I need
Life has taken away most necessities and fueled difficulties
and given air to the flames
Life has exacerbated challenges
I cant believe that I almost spoke those words
The speaker almost confessed feelings they don't truly have
as if I'd ever feel the same
As if the speaker would ever genuinely feel the same way
what a shame
Expressing regret or disappointment
that I almost loved you back
The speaker almost reciprocated the love
yeah, I almost loved you back
Reiterating the near reciprocation
yeah I almost loved you back
Further highlighting the nearness of reciprocating love
well how about that
Expressing surprise or irony about the situation
well how about that
Reiterating the surprise or irony
