Those Days
Echoes of Time: Sleep Stranger's Melodic Reflections on Days That Linger
Lyrics
I said, see me
The speaker is requesting attention, asking someone to notice them.
And every little thing is in my head, you see
The speaker's thoughts are preoccupying their mind, suggesting a mental burden.
I can't erase, I can't press delete
Feeling unable to forget or remove something from their mind.
Another day ticks over and that's when I see you
Another day passing brings a moment of encountering the person being referred to.
And everything that's happening in my mind
Various events or thoughts are unfolding in the speaker's mind.
I can't skip away, I can't press decline
The speaker cannot avoid or reject these thoughts.
Another day ticks over and that's when those days
Refers to specific days, possibly significant or memorable ones.
That's when those days go by so slowly
Describes the slow passage of time during these particular days.
And the nights will do just for me
The nights are solitary and intended for the speaker.
And that's when the stars align in my head
Symbolic alignment of circumstances or emotions in the speaker's thoughts.
That's when I lied and said I saw you
A moment of dishonesty, claiming to have seen someone.
In the back room of some ballroom
Imagining an encounter in the concealed part of a venue.
And that's when the stars arrive in my head
A repetition, emphasizing the significance of stars aligning in the speaker's mind.
Back in my
A transitional phrase, possibly indicating a change in the narrative or setting.
And when I feel that breeze
The speaker's sensory experience, feeling a breeze that triggers memories.
I give you everything that I have for free
The speaker's willingness to give freely, perhaps in the context of emotions.
I take it away, you give it back to me
The cyclical nature of giving and taking in a relationship.
Another day ticks over, oh well I'll set you free
Another day passing, and the speaker decides to let go or release someone.
You nearly took my life away from me
A moment of peril or intense emotions, feeling close to losing one's life.
You break it down, you don't look great to me
The person being addressed is criticized or not seen positively.
Another day takes over and that's when those days
Similar to line 7, emphasizing the slow passage of specific days.
That's when those days go by so slowly
Reiterating the prolonged duration of the mentioned days.
And the nights will do just for me
Reiterating the notion that the nights are exclusively for the speaker.
And that's when the stars align in my head
A recurrence of the theme of stars aligning, symbolizing significant moments.
That's when I lied and said I saw you
Repeating the false claim of seeing someone in a specific location.
In the back room of some ballroom
Reiterating the imagined scenario in the back room of a ballroom.
And that's when the stars arrive in my head
Re-emphasizing the impactful presence of stars in the speaker's thoughts.
Back in my
A return to a previous state or situation, indicated by "Back in my."
That's when those days go by so slowly
Recalling the slow passage of the mentioned days.
And the nights will do just for me
Restating the exclusivity of the nights for the speaker.
And that's when the stars align in my head
Repeating the idea of stars aligning, suggesting a recurring theme.
That's when I lied and said I saw you
Reiterating the false claim of seeing someone in a specific location.
In the back room of some ballroom
Repeating the imagined scenario in the back room of a ballroom.
And that's when the stars go by in my head
Re-emphasizing the ongoing presence of stars in the speaker's thoughts.
Back in my
Returning to a previous state or situation, indicated by "Back in my."
