Sign In a Window
Echoes of Lost Sentiments: Unveiling Life's Bittersweet Truths
Lyrics
Time has given me everything I need
Time has provided me with all I require.
Lust, pride, gluttony, and relief
Desire, self-importance, overindulgence, and comfort.
Tomorrow weighs down like
Future obligations feel burdensome.
Clouds hung in the sky
Future concerns loom overhead.
But right now I'm feeling like
Presently, I feel discontent.
A rotten present from this life of mine
I feel dissatisfied with my current circumstances.
So what's there to laugh about?
Questioning the reasons for amusement.
I saw a sign in a window
I observed a notice in a window.
A bold announcement of the facts
An assertive declaration of truth.
They got me crying on my pillow
It caused me to weep in solitude.
The only way I can react
My emotional response was limited to tears.
I got along until the first night passed me
I managed until the first night elapsed.
And left me with a new arriving
Left me facing a new beginning.
Nothing quite as new as before
Nothing seems as fresh as previously experienced.
Something missing, so I looked for more
Feeling a lack, prompting a search for more.
I catch a train to the next town's station
I board a train to the neighboring town.
A busy place with a big town's tension
A bustling area filled with urban stress.
Reminding me of that place I'd left
Recalling memories of the place I departed.
Back home where most of my young life I'd spent
Reflecting on my upbringing spent mostly there.
I moved like a shadow through a slew of streets
Moving inconspicuously through numerous streets.
Made like the victim in a crowd of thieves
Assuming the role of a victim in a crowd of wrongdoers.
Just like it was back home
Resembling experiences from my hometown.
Just like it was back home
Similarities to past experiences at home.
And my sentiment caught up with me, of course
My emotions from the past caught up with me.
