Lyrics
One day, in the middle of the east
Reflecting on a place in the east, anticipating a significant event.
You'll say, "oh what a wonder it would be
Expressing wonder about the possibility of being together in the future.
If you were next to me"
Desiring closeness with the person being addressed.
But I went another way, a thousand miles from where we'd stay
Choosing a different path, physically distant from where a connection could have been.
I'll say, "I'm fine but thank you very much"
Pretending to be fine despite the emotional impact of the separation.
You ruined all my trust
Expressing betrayal and loss of trust.
And I swear to god if you knew what you meant to me
Swearing about the depth of emotions and connection felt.
But I sit and wait, for if we both could see
Waiting for mutual understanding and realization.
We'd be together right now
Expressing the desire to be together at the present moment.
No fears right now
Emphasizing a lack of fears in the current situation.
I've grown since then
Indicating personal growth over time.
Demons won't reach me now
Claiming resilience against negative influences or inner demons.
Taught myself how
Self-learning and adapting to challenges.
To breath for once
Achieving a sense of calm and stability.
If we're meant to be
Contemplating destiny and whether the connection is meant to be.
Then, I'll see you in this life
Expressing optimism about a potential meeting in this lifetime.
But I can't guarantee
Acknowledging uncertainty and inability to guarantee outcomes.
These words I speak
Highlighting the significance of spoken words.
It's just my
Stating that the following thoughts are a personal hypothesis.
It's just my hypothesis
Reiterating the speculative nature of the expressed ideas.
Back then
Reflecting on a past time.
I haven't felt nostalgia since
Claiming a lack of nostalgic feelings since that past period.
Back when
Recalling a time when clothing choices were the only concern.
The clothes I chose were my only problem
Highlighting a lack of fashion sense in the past.
Didn't have a fashion sense
Acknowledging a digression from the main topic.
But I digress
Indicating a long time since a specific year (2002).
Too long
Expressing a sense of maturity but expecting guidance.
It's been since two thousand and two
Reflecting on the speaker's growth since 2002.
I guess
Qualifying as grown but seeking mentorship or guidance.
You'd call me grown but I thought you'd
Expressing anticipation of the best from a mentor.
Show me best
Referring to unclimbed challenges or goals.
Along the ropes I've yet to climb
Expressing disappointment about unmet expectations.
And I swear I thought that you'd be next to me
Believing that the person should be close.
If we move along, to where we're supposed to be
Expecting a reunion in the right place or circumstances.
We'll find each other somehow
Asserting a commitment to finding each other despite challenges.
It's this I vow
Pledging personal growth for the sake of the relationship.
I've grown for you
Reiterating resilience against inner struggles.
Demons won't reach me now
Self-learning and adapting to challenges, emphasizing personal growth.
Taught myself how
Reaffirming the ability to breathe and overcome challenges.
To breath for once
Expressing optimism about a potential meeting in this lifetime.
And if we're meant to be
Asserting a commitment to finding each other despite challenges.
Then, I'll see you in this life
Expressing optimism about a potential meeting in this lifetime.
But I won't guarantee
Acknowledging uncertainty and inability to guarantee outcomes.
These words I speak
Highlighting the significance of spoken words.
It's just my
Stating that the following thoughts are a personal hypothesis.
It's just my hypothesis
Reiterating the speculative nature of the expressed ideas.
