Eternal Yearning: Embracing the Fragility of Love
Lyrics
And I'd give up forever to touch you
Expresses a willingness to sacrifice anything to be close to the person addressed.
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
Belief that there's a connection or understanding between the speaker and the addressed individual.
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
Describing the addressed person as the pinnacle of happiness or a heavenly experience.
And I don't want to go home right now
Reluctance to leave the current moment or the company of the addressed person.
And all I can taste is this moment
Emphasizes being fully immersed in the present moment.
And all I can breathe is your life
Feeling sustained or alive due to the presence of the addressed individual.
And sooner or later it's over
Realization that eventually, the current situation will end.
I just don't wanna miss you tonight
Expresses the desire not to miss being with the addressed person.
And I don't want the world to see me
Desire to remain private or hidden from the world's judgment.
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
Doubt about being understood by others for who the speaker truly is.
When everything's made to be broken
Belief that things in life are fragile or easily breakable.
I just want you to know who I am
Expresses a longing for the addressed person to understand the speaker's essence.
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Inability to hold back emotions, particularly tears.
Or the moment of truth in your lies
Acknowledgment of a moment where the truth behind someone's deception is revealed.
When everything feels like the movies
Comparing life experiences to the scripted, dramatic nature of movies.
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
Embracing pain as confirmation of being alive.
And I don't want the world to see me
Reiteration of the desire to remain hidden from the world's scrutiny.
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
Doubt about the world's ability to comprehend the speaker's feelings or true self.
When everything's made to be broken
Repetition of the belief that things in life are fragile and breakable.
I just want you to know who I am
Desire for the addressed person to understand the speaker's identity.
And I don't want the world to see me
Reiteration of the desire for privacy and understanding.
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
Expressing doubt about being truly understood by the world at large.
When everything's made to be broken
Repeating the idea that life is fragile and prone to breaking.
I just want you to know who I am
Expresses the longing for the addressed person to grasp the speaker's essence.
And I don't want the world to see me
Reiteration of the desire for privacy and not being judged.
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
Doubt about the world's capability to understand the speaker's true self.
When everything's made to be broken
Repetition of the idea that things in life are fragile or easily breakable.
I just want you to know who I am
Longing for the addressed person to comprehend the speaker's essence.
I just want you to know who I am
Repetition emphasizing the desire for the addressed person to know the speaker's true self.
I just want you to know who I am
Reiteration of the longing for the addressed person to understand the speaker's essence.
I just want you to know who I am
Final repetition of the desire for the addressed person's understanding.
