Lyrics
I'm leaving today
Expressing the departure happening presently.
Too much time's already wasted
Regret for time wasted, feeling a need to move on.
I know i can't stay
Recognizing the impossibility of remaining.
So i've made my reservations
Having made arrangements to leave.
I'm closing the door
Closing a chapter or phase in life.
To this old empty house...
Reference to a place of past sadness or regret.
...Of sorrows
Highlighting past sorrows associated with the house.
They're only sorrows
Emphasizing the transient nature of sorrows.
Until tomorrow
Suggesting the sorrow will only last until tomorrow, indicating a shift or resolution.
I'm leaving today
Reiteration of the departure happening presently.
Things i'll never know
Reflecting on missed opportunities or experiences.
All the words i wanted to say
Regret for unexpressed thoughts or feelings.
Ghost at the window
Sense of haunting or unresolved issues.
And things will never be the same
Acceptance that things will change irreversibly.
I'm closing the door
Repeating the act of closing the chapter or phase.
To this old empty house...
Reiteration of past sorrows linked to the house.
...Of sorrows
Emphasizing the transient nature of sorrows (repeated).
They're only sorrows
Further emphasizing the temporal aspect of sorrows (repeated).
Until tomorrow
Indicating the resolution of sorrows by tomorrow.
I'm leaving today
Reiterating the immediate departure.
I'm rolling my bones
Deciding to leave a desolate or unfulfilling place.
Right out of this lonely place
Leaving the place without intent to return.
I'll never go home
Rejecting the place as one's true home.
It's not my home anyway
Denying a sense of belonging to the location.
I'm closing the door
Symbolically closing the chapter associated with the house.
To this old empty house...
Reiteration of past sorrows linked to the house.
...Of sorrows
Emphasizing the transient nature of sorrows (repeated).
They're only sorrows
Further emphasizing the temporal aspect of sorrows (repeated).
Until tomorrow
Expressing the resolution or end of sorrows by tomorrow.
I'm leaving today
Final confirmation of the immediate departure.
