Ludlow Street
Embracing the Essence: Ludlow Street's Poetic Reflections on Love
Lyrics
Love is the only thing that matters
Love is emphasized as the most significant aspect of life.
Love is the only thing that's real
The assertion that love is the only genuine and tangible reality.
I know we hear this every day
Acknowledges the common expression but suggests difficulty in truly experiencing love.
It's still the hardest thing to feel
Despite frequent reminders, feeling love remains a challenging experience.
This time
Introducing a specific time or occasion.
When I go back to Ludlow Street
Returning to Ludlow Street, a location with personal significance.
I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete
Stoops and doorways are incomplete without a specific person.
Without you there
Expressing a sense of absence and longing.
Another generation's parties
Referring to social gatherings of another era or group.
And it is still the same old scene
Despite the passage of time, the scene remains unchanged.
I can recall each morning after
Recalling mornings with a nostalgic touch, tainted by nicotine.
Painted in nicotine
Describing the visual impact of the past, perhaps influenced by habits.
This time
Repeating the idea of returning to Ludlow Street at a specific time.
When I go back to Ludlow Street
Stoops and doorways are again described as incomplete without someone.
I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete
Highlighting the void or lack of fulfillment in the absence of a particular person.
Without you there
Emphasizing the impact of the person's absence on the surroundings.
All of the people I once knew...
Reflecting on the people from the past, suggesting a connection to Ludlow Street.
All of the ones I was close to...
Mentioning those who were once close, indicating the importance of relationships.
Love is the only thing that matters
Reiteration of the central theme that love is paramount.
Love the only thing that's real
Reaffirming love as the sole authentic reality.
And when I think about you now
Thinking about a specific person brings forth the feeling of love.
Love is the only thing I feel
Love becomes the predominant emotion when contemplating the mentioned person.
This time
Repeating the notion of returning to Ludlow Street at a specific time.
When I go back to Ludlow Street
Stoops and doorways are again portrayed as incomplete without a specific person.
I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete
Highlighting the persistent sense of void in the absence of that person.
Without you there
Emphasizing the impact of the person's absence on the surroundings, echoing earlier lines.
Tim, this time
Adding a personal touch, addressing someone named Tim.
When I go back to Ludlow Street
Reiterating the theme of returning to Ludlow Street and the incompleteness without a specific person.
I find each stoop and doorway's incomplete
Continuing the portrayal of Ludlow Street's stoops and doorways as incomplete without a specific person.
Without you there
Re-emphasizing the impact of the person's absence on Ludlow Street.
