Steady
Yearning Echoes: A Melodic Tale of Love's Longing by Samuel Charles
Lyrics
How long will it be until you come home
Expressing anticipation and longing for the return of a person.
I don't think I'm looking forward to it
Admitting a lack of excitement or positivity about the anticipated return.
And how long has it been since you've left my arms
Reflecting on the time since the person departed and the absence of their presence.
And now I'm writing songs for a girl who doesn't love me
Acknowledging the act of creating songs for someone who doesn't reciprocate love.
Hold steady now
Repetition emphasizing the need to remain stable or composed despite emotional challenges.
Hold steady now
-Hold steady now
-Cause I miss you
Expressing the enduring longing and nostalgia for the physical and emotional connection.
Everyday
-The feel of your lips
-Have long since passed away
-So tell me let you go
Questioning the possibility of letting go of the person and the love that seems unfulfilled.
This wasted love, it tears at my soul
Describing the pain of unreciprocated love and its impact on the soul.
And let my dreams pass by
Willingness to sacrifice dreams for the presence of the loved one.
I'd give them all up today
-If it meant you by my side
-If it meant you by my side
-And how long will it be until you marry that man
Questioning when the person will marry someone else.
The wedding bouquet, thrown from your hand
Imagery of a wedding scene, possibly expressing the fear of losing the person to marriage.
The two of you spend your lives together
Imagining a future where the person spends their life with someone else.
Forget all your memories, of the boy with his cane
Suggesting the need to forget memories of the singer and move on with a new life.
And his letters
-Hold steady now
Reiteration of the need to remain steady despite the emotional turmoil.
Hold steady now
-Hold steady now
-Cause I miss you
Repeating the theme of missing the person and the fading memories of their touch.
Everyday
-The feel of your lips
-Have long since passed away
-So tell me let you go
Questioning whether it's possible to let go of the wasted love.
This wasted love, it tears at my soul
Expressing the torment caused by unfulfilled love on the soul.
And let my dreams pass by
Reiterating the willingness to give up dreams if it means having the person by the singer's side.
I'd give them all up today
-If it meant you by my side
-If it meant you by my side
