Whispers
Whispers of Love and Loss: Nostalgic Reflections in Simon Dekkers' Song
Lyrics
VERSE
Opening of a verse
Stuck in a silent memory I been
Feeling trapped within a quiet recollection of the past
Trying not to lose
Attempting not to let go
Back when our dreams felt like real things
Reflecting on a time when aspirations felt tangible
When I held onto you
Clung onto a person during that time
But if I look too hard, then I see the cracks
Fear that deeper inspection reveals imperfections or problems
In the paint the canvass wears
Noticing flaws in the beautiful or perfect image
Looking for something that we used to have
Searching for something lost from the past
But can't find it anywhere
Unable to find what is sought
PRE
Introduction to the next section
Then in a moment we're back in our golden era
Recalling a specific, cherished period
Comes into focus with your words brushing my ears
Clarity arrives through words spoken by someone
CHORUS
Start of the chorus
I hear whispers of the past
Hearing echoes of past experiences
In your voice on days like these
Recognizing remnants of history in someone's voice
I still believe
Maintaining faith despite challenges
It's slipping through our grasp
Feeling like something precious is slipping away
But it's not so far out of reach
Despite difficulty, it's not entirely unattainable
Listen with me
Asking someone to listen and understand together
Little whispers of the past
Subtle echoes of bygone moments
And everything we had
Remembering everything shared in the past
If there's no going back
Accepting that there might not be a way to return
Let's listen while we can
Encouraging to cherish those memories while they last
VERSE
Start of the second verse
Still love the way the sun makes the green shine
Still enamored by the way certain things are seen
Brighter in your eyes
Things appear brighter in the presence of a loved one
But a shadow of difference makes it feel different
Even slight differences alter perceptions
When your hand touches mine
The smallest change affects the feeling of touch
But if I look too hard, then I see the cracks
Fear that a closer examination reveals flaws
In the paint the canvass wears
Noticing imperfections in what was once perfect
Looking for something that we used to have
Seeking something that seems lost from the past
But can't find it anywhere
But unable to locate it
PRE
Preceding the next section
Then in a moment we're back in our golden era
Recalling a cherished time again
Comes into focus with your words brushing my ears
Clarity arrives through someone's words again
CHORUS
Restarting the chorus
I hear whispers of the past
Hearing echoes of bygone times
In your voice on days like these
Recognizing fragments of history in someone's voice, repeated from before
I still believe
Continuing to have faith despite challenges, repeated from before
It's slipping through our grasp
Feeling like something precious is slipping away, repeated from before
But it's not so far out of reach
Despite difficulty, it's not entirely unattainable, repeated from before
Listen with me
Asking someone to listen and understand together, repeated from before
Little whispers of the past
Subtle echoes of bygone moments, repeated from before
And everything we had
Remembering everything shared in the past, repeated from before
If there's no going back
Accepting that there might not be a way to return, repeated from before
Let's listen while we can
Encouraging to cherish those memories while they last, repeated from before
