Vietnam
Escaping Love: A Journey to Vietnam
Lyrics
I made up my mind, I’m leaving for the summer
The decision to leave for the summer has been finalized.
To move to Vietnam, and forget my lover
Intention to relocate to Vietnam in order to move on from a romantic relationship.
I know you’re busy baby, and you don’t care
Acknowledgment of the lover's preoccupation and apparent lack of concern.
But every night I dream of you and it’s not fair
Expressing the unfairness of constantly dreaming about the lover despite their indifference.
A drink by the river
Engaging in simple pleasures by the river, possibly seeking solace.
Smoke cigarettes in adamant and meet all my friends there
Relaxing activities like smoking and meeting friends adamantly or regularly.
Drive up through the mountains
Driving through mountains, enjoying mundane moments with basic comforts.
On my scooter with my Coca Cola and my sandwich
Specifically mentioning mundane items like a Coca Cola and sandwich during travels.
But something’s missing baby
Sense of emptiness or something lacking despite engaging in social settings.
In the evening when everybody's kissing baby
Not feeling the same connection as others who are romantically involved during evenings.
And everybody’s getting married
Observation of others getting into serious commitments while feeling stuck or stagnant personally.
And I’m just sitting here buried
Feeling emotionally trapped or immobile while others progress in life.
Up to my heart and I look down at the sand
Reflecting on personal feelings deeply, symbolized by looking at the sand up to the heart.
And I start to think it’s the end
Contemplating whether it's the end, possibly of the relationship or a phase.
Until I see ‘Alright’ tattooed on my hand
Finding reassurance or comfort through the tattoo 'Alright' on the hand.
And I feel alright
Feeling okay or at ease due to the presence of the 'Alright' tattoo.
I know you’re busy baby
Reiterating the lover's busy nature and seeming indifference.
And you don’t care
Reinforcing the lack of concern or interest from the lover's side.
But when I come back home to the city
Expressing the desire to meet the lover upon returning to the city.
I’d like to see you there
Expressing the wish to encounter the lover, even if it's a brief moment.
Even just for a minute
Desiring any interaction or connection, even if it's fleeting, with the lover upon return.
