I'm Missing You
Yearning Echoes: Embracing the Absence in Skip Tracy's 'I'm Missing You'
Lyrics
Like the burning of a million wildfires
Feeling an intense and widespread emotional turmoil, similar to the uncontrollable spread of wildfires.
Like the power of a million angel choir
Experiencing a powerful and harmonious sensation, comparable to the impact of a million angels singing together.
Like the turning of a hurricane of desire I feel you
Feeling the intense and unstoppable force of desire, akin to the turning and impact of a hurricane.
Like a hundred thousand lashes upon my back
Enduring a significant amount of emotional pain, depicted as lashes upon the back.
Like a hundred thousand kickers and fade to black
Facing challenges and difficulties, symbolized by a hundred thousand setbacks leading to a fade to black.
Oh you know I feel you
Acknowledging the presence and impact of the person being missed.
Oh this pain is breaking me
Expressing the emotional hardship that is causing internal turmoil.
On the edge of going crazy
Being on the verge of losing control and experiencing mental distress.
I’m missing you (x2)
Expressing the strong sentiment of longing and desire for the person who is missed.
I’m missing all the nights we’d fly so high like there’s no tomorrow
Longing for the joyful moments of flying high in life without worrying about the future.
I’m missing all the times when you’d stick by while I went way down low
Yearning for the times when the person being missed stood by during challenging moments.
And the way that you feel lying next to me ‘neath a southern summer moon
Recalling the emotional connection and intimacy felt under a southern summer moon.
The way I’m missing you I wish I knew that you’re missing me too
Expressing a wish to know if the person missed is reciprocating the feelings.
I’m missing you
Reiterating the deep sense of longing and absence.
Like a breath of air to rescue a drowning man
Describing the essential and life-saving nature of the missed person, like a breath of air to a drowning man.
Like a bindle of a junkie’s heroin
Comparing the need for the missed person to the dependence of a junkie on heroin.
Like a confessor to absolve me of all my sins I need you
Expressing the desire for absolution and emotional support, akin to a confessor forgiving sins.
Oh this pain is breaking me
Reiterating the emotional pain and its impact on the individual.
On the edge of going crazy
Highlighting the precarious mental state, being on the edge of losing sanity.
You know this pain is breaking me
Reiterating the overwhelming nature of the emotional pain.
I’m missing you so desperately
Expressing the depth of desperation and intense longing for the missed person.
I’m missing you (x2)
Repeating the expression of intense longing and desire for the missed person.
I’m missing all the nights we’d fly so high like there’s no tomorrow

I’m missing all the times when you’d stick by while I went way down low

And the way that you feel lying next to me ‘neath a southern summer moon
