Scotty's Lament
Surprises and Revelations: Unveiling the Emotions in Scotty's Lament
Lyrics
So surprised,
Feeling unexpected, caught off guard.
I fought windmills.
Engaging in futile or imaginary battles.
So surprised,
Experiencing astonishment again.
I saw angels.
Encountering something extraordinary or divine.
I know my place in this
Awareness of one's role or position in life.
So surprised,
Feeling unexpectedly inspired or perceptive.
I had visions.
Having unexpected visions or insights.
So surprised,
Surprised by the presence of someone special in those visions.
You were in them.
Realizing a sense of belonging in the world.
I found my place in this world.
Finding one's place and purpose in life.
It's you I swear,
Expressing a strong affirmation towards someone.
it's you I swear,
Reiterating the sincerity of the affirmation.
I delight in your despair.
Expressing a peculiar joy in the distress of the other person.
(I'll wait for you)
Waiting patiently for the person mentioned.
It's you I swear,
Reaffirming a commitment or promise.
it's you I swear,
Emphasizing the genuineness of the commitment.
Giving me the right
Granting the other person a significant role or importance.
(I'll wait for you)
Reiterating the patience in waiting.
It's you who lied,
Accusing the other person of dishonesty.
it's you who lied
Reaffirming the accusation of lying.
When you had to swallow pride
Referencing a moment when pride had to be swallowed.
(I'll wait for you)
Repeating the commitment to wait despite challenges.
It's you I swear,
Reaffirming the sincerity towards the mentioned person.
it's you I swear
Emphasizing the genuineness of the affirmation.
So surprised,
Experiencing a surprise where thoughts elude.
Thoughts escaped me.
Thoughts slipping away unexpectedly.
So surprised,
Experiencing surprise as words fail to express.
Words escaped me.
Encountering a situation where words escape.
I know my place in this
Reiterating the awareness of one's place in life.
