Looking Pale
Echoes of Love Lost: Roie Sarig's Haunting Melody
Lyrics
I haven't seen you in over a while
I have not encountered you for an extended period.
It's getting harder and harder to bare
The situation is becoming increasingly difficult to endure.
While I've been trying to get a hold of you
While attempting to reach out to you,
I haven't gotten too far from here
I haven't made much progress from where I am.
Maybe you'll see me and maybe you won't
It's uncertain whether you will notice me or not.
That's the magic of not knowing when
Emphasizing the uncertainty and wonder of not knowing when.
Maybe you'll hear this and tear up and choke
You might listen to this and become emotional.
Let the tears run straight down the drain
Allowing the tears to flow freely and be released.
It's okay
Assuring that it's acceptable.
I'll be there
I'll be there for you.
Looking pale
Presenting the image of appearing pale, possibly reflecting emotional distress.
Now I haven't finished my earlier thought
Resuming a previous, unfinished idea.
It has been a month since I started this song
A month has passed since the inception of this song.
While most of my friends think I've got what it takes
While friends believe in my capabilities,
I still hope I'll be proving them wrong
I still aspire to prove them wrong.
The wind keeps on blowing
The persistence of challenges and difficulties.
I love you to death
Expressing deep love contrasted with the realization of growing apart.
And so I hate that we're growing apart
Describing the color blue as symbolic of breath.
Blue is the color the color of breath
The color red is seeking its role or purpose.
Red has been looking to take on its part
Repeating the uncertainty of being noticed.
Maybe you'll see me and maybe you won't
Reiterating the magic of not knowing when things will happen.
That's the magic of not knowing when
The hope that the message provokes emotional reactions.
Maybe you will hear this and tear up and choke
Encouraging the release of emotions, allowing them to flow away.
Let the tears run straight down the drain
Reassuring that it's acceptable to feel emotional.
It's okay
I'll be there for you.
I'll be there
Reiterating the image of appearing pale, possibly in a state of distress.
Looking pale
Contemplating thoughts to convey to you.
Thinking of something to say to you now
Demonstrating bravery in facing the situation.
I'll be brave
Repeating the contemplation of thoughts to share.
(Thinking of something to say to you now)
Expressing the image of appearing pale again.
Looking Pale
Summarizing the emotional state as looking pale.
Mountains receding
Depicting the metaphor of mountains receding, possibly signifying challenges diminishing.
I hate this
Expressing dislike or frustration.
Words that turned out not to be true
Regret over words that turned out to be untrue.
Finally I see that the world around me
Realization that the world holds no meaning without you.
Would mean nothing
Emphasizing the significance of the person in question.
Without you
Concluding with a strong statement about the importance of the individual.
