Yesterday
Unveiling the Emotions: Yesterday's Journey of Love and Loss
Lyrics
Yesterday, there was a change somewhere on your face
There was a noticeable change in your expression yesterday.
'Cause yesterday you went looking for
Yesterday, you were searching for something warm to replace someone.
Another warm thing to take his place
Seeking another comforting presence to fill the void left by someone.
Now I'm not trying to tell you that
The speaker is not implying that you lack choices to consider.
You have no choices to be weighed
There are decisions to be made, but one must trust in the healing power of faith.
But you've got to believe in faith-healing
Belief in faith-healing is emphasized, as everyone experiences fear.
'Casue everyone's afraid
People are generally afraid, highlighting the universality of fear.
Yesterday, you stopped crying
On this day, you stopped crying, suggesting emotional healing.
Yesterday your old friend just walked on by
Your old friend passed by without acknowledgment.
The friend that used to wake you up and
The friend who once brought a sense of impending doom.
Make you think the world was going to end
This friend used to wake you up and make you fear the worst.
Your old friend
Emphasizing the impact of the old friend.
I'm sure you know
A recognition that past love has become unattractive.
The old love is ugly now
Despite its unattractiveness, people hesitate to let go of the familiar.
But no one wants to turn away
Refusal to turn away from something considered permissible.
From something they think is still allowed
People are reluctant to let go of what they believe is still acceptable.
It's clear, that what you're thinking is
It's evident that your thoughts revolve around...
How many perfect loves are made
Contemplating how many perfect loves are attainable.
But you've got to believe in faith-healing
Reiterating the need to believe in faith-healing due to universal fear.
Cause everyone's afraid
Everyone experiences fear, underlining its pervasive nature.
Yesterday, you stopped, stopped crying
On this day, the tears finally ceased.
Yesterday your old friend walked on by
Your old friend passed by once again without eliciting tears.
Yesterday, you stopped, stopped crying
Reiteration of the cessation of tears on this particular day.
Yesterday your old friend walked on by
Your old friend walked past, further emphasizing emotional healing.
