Mulholland Drive
Love's Echoes on Mulholland: A Soul's Cry in the Night
Lyrics
Did you sleep last night and do you remember dreams?
Reflecting on the quality of sleep and dreams, suggesting a connection with the past.
Do I ever cross your mind and do you ever think of me?
Pondering if the person is remembered and occupies thoughts in the other's mind.
When you think about your life are there things you would reverse?
Contemplating life choices and the desire for reversals in certain aspects.
I still remember holding you, just out of sight of her
Recalling a moment of intimacy, possibly hidden from someone else.
In the deep, dark parking lot pressed up against my car
Describing an intimate encounter in a parking lot with heightened emotions.
With your hands around my neck I felt the pounding of your heart
Depicting physical closeness and the intensity of emotions in that moment.
And the summer night was giving in to the lure of Autumn's sway
Setting the scene of a summer night transitioning to fall, capturing a nostalgic atmosphere.
I can't seem to forget that night or how I heard you say
Expressing difficulty forgetting a particular night and recalling spoken words.
That I'd just die if you ever took your love away
Underlining the significance of the other person's love, suggesting its importance to the speaker's well-being.
Oh and I'd just die if you ever took your love away
Repeating the emotional impact and vulnerability tied to the potential loss of love.
Would you miss me if I was gone and all the simple things were lost?
Pondering if the speaker's absence would be noticed and if simple joys would be missed.
Would you ever wait on me to say
Raising the question of whether the other person would patiently wait for the speaker.
Oh that I'd just die if you ever took your love away
(Refrain)
And I can still recall the hour when you first let down your walls
Recalling a moment when emotional barriers were lowered, creating a powerful experience.
I thought I might've died right there floating up above it all
Expressing a sense of vulnerability and near-death experience in the face of intense emotions.
But it scared you love, to need someone, so you killed it all instead
Acknowledging fear of needing someone and the subsequent decision to end the connection.
But in the mist up on Mulholland, I could've sworn I heard you say
Referencing a specific location (Mulholland) where a significant conversation may have occurred.
That I'd just die if you ever took your love away
Reiterating the profound impact of potential love loss on the speaker's well-being.
Oh and I would just die if you ever took your love away
Emphasizing the emotional devastation that would accompany the withdrawal of love.
Did you miss me when I was gone and the simple things we lost?
Asking if the speaker was missed during absence and if simple pleasures were yearned for.
I was aching to hear you say
Expressing a longing to hear confirmation of the emotional impact on the other person.
Oh that I'd just die if you ever took your love away
(Refrain)
That I'd just die if you ever took your love away
-Yes and I would just die if you ever took your love away
-Did you miss me when I was gone and the simple things we lost?
Repeating the theme of being missed during absence and the loss of simple joys.
I was aching to hear you say
Echoing the desire to hear the acknowledgment of emotional impact.
Oh that I'd just die if you ever took your love away
(Refrain)
And did you miss me when I'm gone?
Pondering if the speaker was missed during absence and if relied-upon things were affected.
And the simple things we used to rely on?
Asking who provided comfort in difficult times and brought back a sense of dignity.
Who came to wipe your tears away?
Questioning who wiped away tears and offered emotional support.
Who came to bring back your dignity baby?
Asking who played a role in restoring the other person's dignity.
And who came to drive you around this town
Asking who took on the responsibility of driving the other around, reminiscing about past actions.
Like I used to drive you all around with the radio on
Reflecting on past experiences of driving together with the radio on.
Through the mist on Mulholland, through the mist on Mulholland, through the mist on Mulholland
Repeating the reference to Mulholland, reinforcing its significance in the narrative.
