How I Felt Before
Echoes of Unspoken Longing
Lyrics
The path that you take
The chosen course of action or decisions made.
It remains the same
It remains constant or unchanged over time.
Circle the block all day
Repeating the same patterns or routines throughout the day.
There's no one else to blame
Taking responsibility, as there is no one else to hold accountable.
The season's taxing me
The time or circumstances are emotionally draining.
But it's straining much more
Experiencing more than just mental strain.
Than just my mind, you see
There are deeper reasons being ignored.
For reasons you ignore
Ignoring or overlooking certain emotional aspects.
Sit, by the riverside
Being contemplative by a body of water.
Try not to elide
Avoiding the omission of important emotions.
Sentiments that were meant to be
Feelings that were originally meant to be expressed.
Tender and I can't omit
Tender emotions that cannot be ignored.
Or express anything more than
Struggling to convey more than what is being expressed.
How I felt before
Reflecting on past emotions and experiences.
Bridges in the mist
Mist-covered structures symbolizing unclear or distant relationships.
Foggy days alone
Days filled with confusion and solitude.
A stone's throw away
A short distance away from a previous dwelling.
From my former home
Reflecting on the difficulty of staying in a particular situation.
Was it hard to stay?
Whether it was challenging to remain or a natural progression of growth.
Or had you just outgrown
Considering what is better left unspoken and unknown.
What's better left unsaid
Some things are better off not expressed verbally.
And better left unknown
Certain aspects of life are better left undiscovered.
Count the steps and ways
Taking stock of the various ways and steps involved.
That You piece together
Assembling fragments to form a coherent understanding.
Shapes and a phrase
Creating meaning from shapes and words, perhaps from a message.
Taken from a letter
Extracted from a written communication, possibly a letter.
Sent a lifetime ago
A communication from a distant past.
Folded in four pressed roses
Preserving memories with pressed roses, a symbol of emotions.
What you felt before
Recalling the emotions experienced in the past.
Faded like the days
Memories fading away over time.
Fuzzy with the haze
Unclear memories, blurred by a metaphorical haze.
How I felt before
Reflecting on past emotions and experiences, mirroring the sentiment in line 14.
