Odyssey
Love and Loss: The Rasmus' Odyssey of Emotions
Lyrics
I was given a role in this play
I have a designated role in the unfolding events of life
It wasn't written to show me the way
The script or path of life wasn't designed to guide me
I was sentenced to live on my own
I'm condemned to exist in solitude
I was happy to be all alone
I find joy and contentment in being alone
But I love you, I love you, I love you, I do
Expressing love multiple times
And I hate you, I hate you, I miss you, I do
Expressing a mix of emotions—love, hate, and longing
And there's so many things that I wish I could say
There are unspoken thoughts or feelings
Standing on your grave
Being present at a symbolic or metaphorical grave
How I wish I could show you the stars
Expressing a desire to share the beauty of the stars
It's so quiet and gracefully dark
Describing a tranquil and dark night
The night is cold and the river so deep
The night is cold, and a river is mentioned
I'd be so easy to fall in the stream
There's vulnerability, a potential to fall into difficulties
And I love you, I love you, I love you, I do
Reiterating love
And I hate you, I hate you, I miss you, I do
Reiterating a mix of emotions—love, hate, and longing
And there's so many things that I wish I could say
Unexpressed thoughts or feelings persist
Standing on your grave
Being present again at the symbolic or metaphorical grave
But I love you, I love you, I love you, I do
Reaffirming love
And I hate you, I hate you, I miss you, I do
Reaffirming a mix of emotions—love, hate, and longing
And there's so many things that I wish I could say
Unspoken thoughts or feelings persist
Standing on your grave
Being present once more at the symbolic or metaphorical grave
Standing on your grave
Repeating the presence at the symbolic or metaphorical grave
Standing on your grave
-(And I love you, I love you, I love you, I do)
Reiterating love in a parenthetical form
(And I hate you, I hate you, I miss you, I do)
Reiterating a mix of emotions in a parenthetical form
(And I hate you, I hate you, I miss you, I do)
