Lyrics
Afternoon, pair of shoes
Reflecting on the afternoon, symbolized by a pair of shoes.
Dusty and blue
Describing the shoes as dusty and blue, possibly representing wear and sadness.
Thinking back to -well, me and you but
Nostalgically recalling moments with someone in the past.
What's the use of longing for
Questioning the purpose of yearning for what was unattainable or couldn't be chosen.
What we couldn't choose
Accepting the limitations of choices and the futility of longing.
Oh memories, ringing muffled in my ears
Memories echo softly, akin to the effect of an old French song.
Like an old french song can do
Comparing memories to a song that evokes emotions.
It's a sweet going down of tears
Expressing the bittersweetness of shedding tears for lost love.
For my heart has sunk in
Feeling deeply saddened and emotionally affected.
Blue, a blue moon
Describing the emotional state as blue, like the moon without the presence of the person.
Without you
Acknowledging the absence of the person and the void it creates.
Time has come for me
Realizing it's time to move on from the lingering sorrow.
To get through this old sorrow
Expressing the need to heal emotional wounds and embrace positivity.
Mend my wounds and breathe the sun
Metaphorically mending wounds and seeking renewal through the warmth of the sun.
I keep saying that I don't mind
Claiming not to mind the situation, despite the internal emotional struggle.
No, I won't cry
Affirming the decision not to cry, possibly to maintain composure.
Long, it's been a long time now
Emphasizing the prolonged duration of the emotional struggle.
Just hollow lies to waste the afternoon
Referring to deceitful words as hollow lies used to pass the time.
Your laugh, your touch
Recalling the comforting aspects of the person's laughter and touch.
Keep me warm, but now I wanna go
Expressing a desire to move on despite the warmth previously provided.
How can I paint new coulours
Pondering the challenge of embracing new experiences with remnants of the past.
With a brush that's still
Describing a metaphorical paintbrush still tainted by memories of the person.
All dirty with yours, oh my
Expressing emotional difficulty in moving on from the past.
Uuh
An expressive sound conveying emotional distress or realization.
I keep saying that I don't mind
