Karl And Livy
Lost Love's Echo: Karl's Absence in a Sea of Longing
Lyrics
Karl never came back home last night
Karl did not return home the previous night.
He wasn't here by dawn's gold light
He was not present at home when the morning light appeared.
And I searched the sky and briny sea
The speaker searched both the sky and the salty sea.
But Karl never came back home to me
Karl did not return home to the speaker.
Our Love was wild, a untamed storm
Their love was intense, unpredictable, and uncontrollable like a storm.
Bold and deep a pure art form
It was deep and genuine, considered a pure form of art.
All of myself to him, I've sworn
The speaker gave their entire self to Karl, making a solemn promise.
But Karl never came back home
However, Karl did not come back home.
Karl never came back home last night
Reiteration that Karl did not return home the previous night.
He wasn't here by dawn's gold light
Similar to line 2, Karl was not present at home during dawn.
And I searched the sky and briny sea
The speaker extensively searched the sky and sea for Karl.
But Karl never came back home to me
Karl did not return home to the speaker despite the search.
I spent my days high above
The speaker spent their time in a high place searching for Karl.
Searching for my long lost love
They were seeking their lost love tirelessly.
Despondent as the mourning dove
Feeling extremely sad and despondent like a mourning dove.
But Karl never came back home
Despite efforts, Karl did not return home.
Forever I'll ponder my loss while I wander
The speaker will continuously contemplate their loss while aimlessly wandering.
Eternally wanton I'll roam
They will perpetually roam, consumed by desire.
Karl never came back home
Emphasizes Karl's absence from home.
Karl never came back home last night
Reiteration that Karl did not return home the previous night.
He wasn't here by dawn's gold light
Similar to line 2 and 12, Karl was not present at home during dawn.
And I searched the sky and briny sea
The speaker continued their extensive search in the sky and sea.
But Karl never came back home to me
Despite the search, Karl did not come back home to the speaker.
