The Lover's Face
Chasing Shadows: Unveiling the Hidden Meaning in The Lover's Face
Lyrics
She's shackled to the night
She feels bound to the darkness of the night, unable to escape.
Bonded to a darker place
She's connected to a gloomier, more somber state or situation.
Searching for the lover's face
She's actively seeking the image or presence of her lover.
That haunts her
This lover's image or memory continues to disturb her.
Listening to the sounds
She's attentive to the noises of a bustling city.
Of a city as it moves around
She hopes that in a significant or revered place,
Hoping that on sacred ground
she might encounter or connect with him.
She'll find him
This is where she anticipates finding her lover.
And the lover who lurks in the shadows
The lover remains concealed or obscured.
Cut this hole through her soul
Metaphorically, the lover has caused deep emotional pain.
So the children she's leaving tomorrow
She's departing, but the truth about her pain won't be revealed to the children.
Can never be told
The depth of her anguish will remain hidden from the children she leaves behind.
Yes, this lover who lurks in the shadows
Reiterates the secretive nature of the lover's presence.
Cut this hole through her soul
Emphasizes the profound emotional impact caused by the lover.
And the children she's leaving tomorrow
Repeats the idea that the truth won't be disclosed to the children she's departing from.
Can never be told
Her inner turmoil and the source of her pain will remain hidden from her departing children.
She's shackled to the night
Similar to the first line, she feels trapped in the night.
Bonded to a darker place
Again, she's linked to a place or situation of darkness and despair.
Searching for the lover's face
Continues her active pursuit of her elusive lover.
That haunts her
The haunting presence or memory of her lover persists.
Searching for the lover's face
Repeats her ongoing search for her lover's elusive image.
That haunts her
Reiterates the haunting nature of her lover's image or memory.
