What Goes On
Echoes of Longing: Unraveling the Emotions in Stevie Ann's 'What Goes On'
Lyrics
I could scream into a microphone
I express my emotions by singing into a microphone
And i'm feeling so alone
I feel a deep sense of loneliness
Yeah you still wouldn't hear me
Even if I scream, you wouldn't hear me
I could need you more then ever now
I need you more than ever at this moment
Any let's be how
Let's consider how
Really how nobody
Reflecting on how nobody truly understands
It's not the waiting that causes the pain
The pain is not caused by waiting, but it feels like a long time
It's just never felt such a long way
Expressing the prolonged and agonizing wait
For what it's that goes on
Referring to the ongoing situation
Between that first part and what we're wrong
Exploring the gap between the beginning and where things went wrong
When i said that i lost it
Admitting to losing something important
I miss all that is crossing
Missing the intersection of experiences
And the way that we used to dream
Nostalgia for the way dreams were once shared
I could be swept of my feet
Expressing vulnerability, susceptible to being swept off one's feet
Next to me there is an empty seat
An empty seat symbolizing absence or loss
Now tell me, what does it mean
Pondering the meaning of the empty seat
I could ride those for milion miles
Desiring a journey of a million miles, possibly metaphorical
And cry when i see the silver down
Crying at the sight of silver, suggesting a poignant moment
Where would you be to capture me
Questioning where someone would be to offer support
It's not the waiting that causes the pain
Reiterating that waiting is painful and feels distant
It's just never felt such a long way
Emphasizing the prolonged and distant nature of waiting
For what it's that goes on
Continuing to explore the ongoing situation
Between that first part and what we're wrong
Highlighting the gap between the beginning and the point of error
When i said that i lost it
Recalling the admission of losing something valuable
I miss all that is crossing
Yearning for the lost moments of intersection
And the way that we used to dream
Nostalgia for the way dreams were shared
We can't be faded
Asserting resilience and inability to be faded
We can't be torn apart
Stating the strength in remaining intact and united
I will be waiting
Expressing a commitment to waiting for resolution
I would do anything to make this work i'll
Willingness to do anything to make the relationship work
If only be you
Expressing a desire for the involvement of the other person
For what it's that goes on
Continuing to explore the ongoing situation
When i said that i lost it
Reflecting on the admission of losing something important
I miss all that is crossing
Yearning for the intersection of experiences once again
And the way that we used to dream
Nostalgia for the way dreams were shared in the past
The way that we used to be
Reminiscing about the way things used to be
