As You Were
Echoes of Heartbreak: somnum yüth's Melancholic Journey in 'As You Were'
Lyrics
And as you were
Reflecting on a previous state or situation
Share pleasantries
Exchange of polite remarks
Thought I may
Considered the possibility
Just wait and see
Choosing to observe and wait
How you were
Recalling your characteristics or actions
And where you flee
Where you're heading
You're moving on
Moving forward in life
It's killing me
Causing emotional distress
As you were
Reverting to a previous state or condition
As you were
Repetition emphasizing the return
As you were
Reaffirmation of the past
Unpleasantries
Negative or unpleasant experiences
I must admit
Admitting to a feeling or truth
It wearies me
Causing weariness or fatigue
How concerned
Expressing concern about someone's actions
You seem to be
Noticing someone's emotional state
With moving on
Continuing to move forward
It's killing me
Resulting in emotional pain
As you were
Returning to a previous state or condition
As you were
Emphasizing the repetition of returning
Cuz maybe I want you back now
Expressing a desire to rekindle a relationship
But I don't wanna cause you problems
Fear of causing difficulties
Again
Reiteration of not wanting to cause problems
I want you, want you to know
Expressing a desire for the person to be aware
That girl I'm still thinking bout you
Continuing to think about someone
But I just don't wanna hurt you
Reluctance to inflict harm
No more
Commitment to avoid causing pain
As you were
Returning to a previous state or condition
Unpleasantly
Experiencing discomfort or displeasure
Moving on
Progressing forward despite opposition
In spite of me
Expressing oneself despite resistance
Telling how you were
Describing a previous state of happiness
So happily
Recalling a joyful past
It breaks my heart
Feeling emotional pain from departure
To watch you leave
Witnessing the departure with sadness
As you were
Returning to a previous state or condition
As you were
Repetition for emphasis
I'll leave you as you were
Allowing someone to remain in their original state
