Lyrics
I came up to the surface
I surfaced, emerged from a difficult situation or state.
I needed some air
I required breathing space or relief.
I was drowning in the yearning for someone to be there
I felt overwhelmed by the desire for someone's presence.
Voices sing, "That's just life..."
Others suggest, "That's how life is," indicating a resigned acceptance of life's challenges.
And maybe I'm stuck in my mind
Although trapped in my thoughts, my experiences are personal.
But my moments are private
Even amidst a crowd, there's no luxury or beauty, no genuine essence.
In the middle of a crowd
There's an absence of richness or vividness in life.
No gold and no violet
There's a lack of vitality or life within oneself.
No soul to be found
No genuine spirit or identity can be discerned.
Just dreaming in silence all day
Spending the entire day lost in silent thoughts, envisioning.
I'm so useless when you go away
I feel purposeless or ineffective when you're absent.
So don't leave me alone
A plea not to abandon me.
I know
An acknowledgment of understanding.
That you've got so many places to be
Awareness of your numerous commitments or engagements.
But let's just go back to sleep
Suggesting a desire to return to sleep together, seeking comfort.
Back to sleep
Emphasis on returning to a state of slumber.
Under the plane wings
Observing you departing from me while under the airplane wings.
Watching you fly away from me
You possess the freedom akin to the wind in the sky.
You're free as the wind up in the sky
I cannot bear solitude.
And I can't be alone
Expressing an unprecedented emotional state.
And I've never ever felt this way
Anxious for the day's conclusion.
Can't wait to get to the end of my day
Impatience for the day to end.
Get it over with
Wishing for a resolution to that sensation.
That feeling sits like tar
A feeling of heaviness and stickiness, like tar.
I know I'm a shadow
A realization of being an insignificant or unnoticed presence.
I know
Recognition of understanding.
That you've got so many places to be
Awareness of your numerous commitments or engagements.
But let's just go back to sleep
Desire to return to sleep together for solace.
Back to sleep
Reiteration of the wish to return to slumber.
