In Limbo
Echoes of Despair: Stavros Hughes' Melodic Reflections on Life's Twists
Lyrics
Oh, the final holiday
Reflecting on a significant and final period of leisure or freedom.
The twisted mirror breaks
Symbolizing a disruption or distortion, possibly in self-perception or reality.
Your spirit as you lay
Contemplating one's essence or consciousness while at rest.
In limbo there, you wait
In a state of uncertainty and anticipation, waiting for an outcome.
For the door
Awaiting a passage or opportunity.
Just one knock
An invitation for change or progress with a single action.
Then you soar
The potential for a transformative experience after taking a decisive step.
Oh no
An expression of concern or realization about the situation.
I, I took the job that doesn't pay
Choosing a path that lacks monetary reward.
One more shot of whiskey
A symbolic gesture, possibly seeking solace or strength.
For the old man and his soul
Paying homage to an elderly figure and their inner being.
Don't mess around with fate, they said
A warning against tempting fate and consequences of defying it.
But look inside his head
Examining the thoughts and emotions of the elderly individual.
He waits for only death, oh
Awaiting death with a sense of inevitability.
Wait, don't leave me in the cold, now, darling
Pleading not to be abandoned in a harsh or indifferent situation.
Tie my noose or set me free
An ambiguous request for either liberation or restraint.
I know, they say it's too late for restarting
Recognizing the perceived impossibility of starting anew.
But Lord, precedent ain't seen me
Challenging established norms or expectations.
Oh, a wrench in the machine
Introducing an obstacle or disruption in the system.
The dying wish of youth
The final desires or aspirations of youth as life nears its end.
What they deem obsolete
Acknowledging something considered outdated but finding value in it.
It finds its heart in you
Discovering meaning or purpose within a seemingly obsolete concept.
Cast aside
Being rejected or discarded despite intrinsic worth.
Though you're gone
Acknowledging effort despite the absence of the recipient.
'Least we tried
An acknowledgment of attempting to make things work.
Oh no
A realization or expression of dismay about a loss.
I, I lost what you cannot replace
Experiencing a loss that cannot be substituted.
Don't give me your pity
Rejecting expressions of sympathy or compassion.
It was your hand dealt the blow
Attributing a significant event to someone's actions.
Under the guise of ardent saints
Concealing true intentions behind a facade of righteousness.
You took my love away
An accusation of taking away affection or love.
And for that you will pay
Conveying a belief in consequences for causing pain.
Wait, don't leave me in the cold, now, darling
A plea to avoid abandonment in difficult circumstances.
Name the time and we will meet
Suggesting a willingness to confront challenges at a specified time.
I know, it feels like ages since our parting
Expressing the enduring nature of separation.
But Love, they can't keep you from me
Asserting an unbreakable connection despite external obstacles.
