Without You
Solitude's Melancholy: The Lovelorn's Haunting Reflections
Lyrics
Time doesn't treat too kind
Time is unkind, not treating well
The man with a lonely mind
A person with a lonely state of mind
Lord knows what I'll find
Uncertainty about what the future holds
Holding on to all this time
Clutching onto memories and experiences
Without you
Expressing the emotional pain of being without someone
Oil lanterns
Reference to oil lanterns, setting a mood
Dimly lit rooms
Describing poorly lit spaces
Ghosts with spirits
Suggesting the presence of lingering spirits or memories
Feeding gloom
Positive emotions being consumed by darkness
Loneliness ensues
Loneliness follows
When will I feel anew
Anticipation of a future emotional renewal
Without you
Reiteration of the emotional struggle without the person
Without you
Reaffirmation of the absence of the person
Ooh
Expressing emotional pain or longing (vocalization)
Ooh
Continuation of vocalized emotional expression
I've been so alone
Feeling isolated and abandoned
I've been haunting myself
Self-inflicted emotional distress
Approaching brick walls
Encountering insurmountable challenges
I cannot get through
Unable to overcome emotional barriers
Without you
Reiteration of the impact of the person's absence
Without you
Reaffirmation of the emotional void
Black coat, yellow room
Describing a specific environment with color symbolism
Your hue left in that room
Symbolic reference to the lingering presence of the person
We both died that day
Mutual emotional death or separation
Tea leaves left to brew
Symbolic reference to unresolved emotions
Without you
Emphasizing the impact of the person's absence
Without you
Reiteration of the emotional struggle
Without you
Further emphasizing the absence of the person
Without you
Continuation of emphasizing the person's absence
Without you
Reiteration for emphasis
I've been so alone
Expressing deep loneliness and isolation
I've been haunting my home
Continued self-inflicted emotional distress at home
When will I feel anew
Awaiting a future emotional renewal
I've been lost without you
Expressing the profound impact of the person's absence
