Bygones
Echoes of Secrets: Unveiling the Hidden Depths in Sara Watkins' 'Bygones'
Lyrics
As faint as a phantom
Feeling as elusive and barely perceptible as a ghost or apparition.
But I can pull you under
Capable of drawing you into a deeper emotional or psychological state.
Bound to you in bygones
Connected to you through past experiences or unresolved issues.
You took it to the limit
Pushed the boundaries or exceeded the usual limits.
And glimpsed all that you'd been missing
Witnessed and understood what was previously overlooked or absent.
Found yourself a secret
Discovered a hidden aspect or truth about oneself.
Feel me in the air
Experience my presence in the atmosphere around you.
I'm all around you
I am omnipresent and encompassing, surrounding you from all directions.
I'll always be here
I will always exist or persist in your life.
Shut your mouth, shut your mouth
Advising or instructing to remain silent or keep quiet.
No one wants to know
No one desires to hear or learn about it.
Hide back in your house
Retreat or withdraw into your private space or thoughts.
Will it ever be safe
Is there a possibility of safety or security?
Since your prey has become predator
The one who was once hunted has now become the hunter.
Will you be safe
Will you find safety or protection?
So take it to your grave
Carry this secret or burden with you to the end of your life.
All the way covered up inside you
Fully concealing or burying something deep within yourself.
Take it to your grave
Continue carrying this secret or burden until death.
