I Miss You
Longing Shadows: Embracing Darkness in 'I Miss You' by Still Pigeon
Lyrics
I miss you, I miss you
Expressing a longing and emotional absence for someone.
Hello, there
Greeting or acknowledging someone.
The angel from my nightmare
Describing a person as an angel but associated with nightmares.
The shadow in the background of the morgue
Referring to a dark presence or memory.
The unsuspecting victim
Describing someone as an unsuspecting victim.
Of darkness in the valley
Imagery of darkness in a valley, suggesting emotional hardship.
We can live like Jack and Sally if we want
Desiring a relationship resembling Jack and Sally, known for enduring love.
Where you can always find me
Inviting the person to always find the speaker.
And we'll have Halloween on Christmas
Imagining unconventional celebrations, Halloween on Christmas.
And in the night, we'll wish this never ends
Expressing a desire for the moments to be everlasting.
We'll wish this never ends
-I miss you, I miss you
Reiterating the emotional longing for the person.
I miss you, I miss you
-Where are you?
Pleading to know the person's whereabouts.
And I'm so sorry
Apologizing and expressing remorse.
I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight
Describing difficulty in sleeping and dreaming without the person.
I need somebody and always
Expressing a constant need for somebody.
This sick, strange darkness
Describing a persistent and unsettling darkness.
Comes creeping on, so haunting every time
-And as I stare, I counted
Counting the negative impacts or issues.
The webs from all the spiders
Using spider webs as a metaphor for entanglements and destructive patterns.
Catching things and eating their insides
-Like indecision to call you
Struggling with indecision in reaching out.
And hear your voice of treason
Questioning the loyalty and asking for relief from pain.
Will you come home and stop this pain tonight?
-Stop this pain tonight
Repetition of the plea to stop the emotional pain.
Don't waste your time on me, you're already
Advising the person not to invest time, as they are already a significant presence in the speaker's thoughts.
The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
-Don't waste your time on me, you're already
Repeating the notion that the person is the voice inside the speaker's head.
The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
-Don't waste your time on me, you're already
Continuing the repetition of the theme, emphasizing the person's impact on the speaker's thoughts.
The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
-Don't waste your time on me, you're already
-The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
-Don't waste your time on me, you're already
-The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
-Don't waste your time on me, you're already
-The voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
-I miss you, I miss you
Final repetition of the longing for the person.
I miss you, I miss you
-I miss you, I miss you
-I miss you, I miss you
