Helplessly Hoping
Harlequin's Whisper: A Tale of Love, Loss, and Unity
Lyrics
Helplessly hoping
Expressing a sense of helplessness and yearning
Her harlequin hovers nearby
Describing someone with a colorful but ambiguous personality nearby
Awaiting a word
Anticipating communication
Gasping at glimpses
Struggling to catch glimpses of a genuine and gentle spirit
Of gentle true spirit
Expressing admiration for a gentle and true spirit
He runs, wishing he could fly
Yearning to run or fly towards the admired person
Only to trip at the sound of good-bye
Failing and stumbling upon hearing a farewell
Wordlessly watching
Silently observing
He waits by the window
Waiting by the window for communication
And wonders
Contemplating the emptiness within
At the empty place inside
Reflecting on a void in the heart
Heartlessly helping himself to her bad dreams
Not empathizing and selfishly taking advantage of her nightmares
He worries
Expressing concern and anxiety
Did he hear a good-bye? Or even hello?
Uncertain if he heard a farewell or greeting
They are one person
Describing the unity of two individuals
They are two alone
Highlighting their individual loneliness
They are three together
Emphasizing their togetherness as a trio
They are for each other
Stating their mutual dependence
Stand by the stairway
Encouraging observation by the stairway
You'll see something
Assuring the observer will witness something
Certain to tell you confusion has its cost
Explaining that confusion comes with a price
Love isn't lying
Asserting that love is truthful
It's loose in a lady who lingers
Describing love as present in a lingering lady
Saying she is lost
Indicating the lady's sense of being lost
And choking on hello
Experiencing difficulty in expressing greetings
They are one person
Reiterating the idea of two individuals becoming one
They are two alone
Emphasizing their individual solitude
They are three together
Affirming their togetherness as a trio
They are for each other
Reiterating their mutual commitment to each other
