Ode a L'oubli
Embracing Liberation: Ode to Letting Go by San Pelagrino
Lyrics
Spent your day with me and got tired of it
Feeling fatigued from spending time together.
Painted days away in two colours
Expressing the passage of time through painted memories in dual tones.
Drawing eyes until they look back at me
Creating art with eyes that reflect one's own gaze.
I Ignored my love for you and let it slip away
Neglecting and losing love for someone.
So I pour my love for you into the ocean
Symbolically giving away love by placing it in the vastness of the ocean.
And I leave it there for you to find
Leaving the love behind, open for discovery.
Even though I know you'll never find it
Acknowledging the likelihood that the love may never be found.
It's a weight off me I've left behind
Feeling relieved after releasing the emotional burden.
Ode a l'oubli
Repeating the title, expressing the need to forget and move on.
Time to let you go
-Ode a l'oubli
-Time to let you go
-Holding hands with you and then I wake up
Experiencing a dream of intimacy, only to wake up from it.
That's a dream I can't escape
Describing the dream as inescapable.
Draw your eyes but they just don't look quite right
Struggling to capture the essence of the loved one's eyes in drawings.
Can't remember if they're blue or if they're grey
Uncertain about the color of the eyes, reflecting a fading memory.
So I pour my love for you into the ocean
Repeating the symbolic act of giving love to the ocean.
And I leave it there for you to find
Leaving love for discovery despite the expectation of it being unfound.
Even though I know you'll never find it
Acknowledging the probable unlikelihood of the love being found.
It's a weight off me I've left behind
Expressing relief after releasing the emotional burden again.
