What I've Lost
Reflecting on Unrecoverable Loss: "What I've Lost" by The Datsuns
Lyrics
See that girl, she got a pretty face and all
Observation of a girl with an attractive face.
Sometimes the call of the wild
Reference to the allure and unpredictability of instinctive, wild impulses.
Can make you feel like a criminal
Wild instincts may lead to feeling like a wrongdoer or outsider.
I don't know that I shouldn't pretend
Uncertainty about acknowledging reality.
'Cause the truth hurts honey, oh it offends
Acknowledging that truth can be painful and offensive.
I just don't know nothing, that's an absolute
Admitting ignorance; emphasizing uncertainty.
What I've lost, I just cant get back
Expressing the irreversibility of lost things.
To the place, that we shared
Yearning to return to a shared past.
Hope you understand girl
Hoping for understanding from the girl.
What I've lost, I just cant get back
Reiteration of irretrievable losses.
To the place, that we shared
Reiteration of the desire to return to a shared past.
Hope you understand, my love
Continued hope for understanding and reconciliation.
â??Come on open your eyes,
Encouragement to be aware and perceptive.
Come on open your mindâ?? she said
Encouraging open-mindedness.
You know its fun to rewind and replay all the things we did
Nostalgia for reliving past experiences.
What once was lost just cannot be returned
Acceptance that certain losses are irreversible.
What once was gone just cannot be returned so I say
Reiteration of the irreversibility of lost things.
What I've lost, I just cant get back
Reiteration of the theme of irretrievable loss.
To the place, that we shared
Repeating the desire to return to a shared past.
Hope you understand girl
Expressing the hope for understanding from the girl.
What I've lost, I just cant get back
Restating the irreversibility of lost things.
To the place, that we shared
Restating the desire to return to a shared past.
Hope you understand, my love
Reiterating the hope for understanding and reconciliation.
Oh no, cant believe that its over
Expressing disbelief and sorrow over the end of a relationship.
You better believe that its over
Emphasizing the certainty of the relationship's conclusion.
Its over with you
Affirming the finality of the relationship with the listener.
Oh no, cant believe that its over
Reiterating the disbelief and sorrow over the end.
You better believe me
Encouraging belief in the truth of the situation.
'Cause its true, my love
Acknowledging the truth of the relationship's conclusion.
What I've lost, I just cant get back
Repeating the theme of irretrievable loss.
To the place, that we shared
Reiterating the desire to return to a shared past.
Hope you understand girl
Expressing the hope for understanding from the girl.
What I've lost, I just cant get back
Restating the irreversibility of lost things.
To the place, that we shared
Restating the desire to return to a shared past.
Hope you understand, my love
Reiterating the hope for understanding and reconciliation.
