I Still Wonder
Haunting Echoes of Youthful Desire: I Still Wonder
Lyrics
There must come a time
Anticipation of a future moment when a change or realization is expected.
When foolish games are played by two
Referring to the games played in a relationship, possibly suggesting deceit or manipulation by both parties.
Just as long as the youthful
As long as youthfulness persists, one can endure the pain and separate it from the truth.
Can separate the pain from truth
The ability to distinguish between pain and truth in the midst of youthful experiences.
Oh, the petals fall from desire and land on a liar
Desire's consequences (petals fall) land on deceit (liar), with a reference to a cemetery metaphorically.
The cemetery gates will do
Metaphorical mention of cemetery gates, possibly symbolizing the end of something.
There you stood with the long stare
Describing a moment of confrontation or realization with an intense gaze.
And whispered in my ear
Whispering signifies a private or intimate conversation, haunting someone emotionally.
I'm still haunting, haunting you
Continued emotional impact, haunting and lingering in the other person's thoughts.
We both knew that our good days were over
Acknowledgment of the end of positive times in a relationship.
There was nothing to do but sometimes I still feel
The recognition that there was nothing to do in certain situations, yet a lingering feeling remains.
Like I'm still sitting here with strange desire, yeah
Describing a persistent sense of strange desire even after the end of the relationship.
'Cause I still wonder, I still wonder
Expressing ongoing curiosity or contemplation about the past.
But I still wonder, I still wonder
Reiteration of the persistent wondering about the past.
Some secrets are shameful
Acknowledging that some secrets are shameful and are part of teenage experiences.
It's part of all those teenage years
Reflection on the natural secrecy and mistakes during adolescence.
But the sex and the regret
Acknowledging that past experiences may lead to closure and regret.
Can slowly close one off with tears
Consequences of past actions may result in emotional closure with tears.
But I remember London in winter
Recollection of a specific moment in London during winter.
A cigarette and her
Specific mention of a cigarette and a person, possibly indicating a significant memory.
A moment I can't deny
Acknowledgment of a memorable moment that cannot be denied.
Now all alone with a blank stare
Being alone with a blank stare, possibly indicating a sense of emptiness or loss.
I wish you were here
Expressing a desire for the presence of someone who is no longer there.
I'm still haunting, haunting you
Continued haunting presence and impact on the emotions of the person left behind.
We both knew that our good days were over
Reiteration of the end of positive times in the past relationship.
There was nothing to do but sometimes I still feel
Recognition that there was nothing to be done in certain situations, with lingering emotions.
I'm still sitting here with strange desire, yeah
Continued presence of strange desire, indicating unresolved feelings.
'Cause I still wonder, I still wonder
Reiteration of the persistent wondering about the past.
But I still wonder, I still wonder
Continued curiosity or contemplation about the past.
We both knew that our good days were over

There was nothing to do but sometimes I still feel

Like I'm still sitting here with strange desire

'Cause I still wonder, I still wonder

But I still wonder, I still wonder

'Cause I still wonder, I still wonder
