What Might Have Been
Reflecting on Unfulfilled Dreams: "What Might Have Been" Meaning
Lyrics
Shoulders carry load-bearing weight
Shoulders bear the weight of responsibilities and burdens.
Head, an anchor, forfeit The Great Unknown
The head serves as an anchor, surrendering to the uncertainty of life's challenges.
Wondering what might have been
Contemplating the possibilities of alternate paths or choices that were not taken.
Eyes empty give in to sleep
Eyes become empty, succumbing to the embrace of sleep.
Dream of a lifetime into the deep unknown
Dreaming of a significant experience or opportunity that remains undiscovered.
Wondering what might have been
Reflecting on the potential outcomes that were not realized.
You give all the love, all the love that you wish to get
Giving love with the expectation of receiving it in return.
And you takeyou take what you need
Taking only what is necessary or essential for oneself.
These are the ills of a modern ballet
Describing the challenges and difficulties faced in the modern world metaphorically as a ballet.
You dance in the throes of a painful fate unknown
Dancing in the midst of an uncertain and painful destiny.
Wondering what might have been
Questioning the outcomes that could have been different.
You bleed real blood for the love that you wish to get
Experiencing real pain and sacrifice for the love one hopes to receive.
And you take, you take what you need
Taking only what is necessary, even if it involves sacrifice.
(Loveyou're giving love)
(Love you're giving love) - Reiterating the act of giving love.
You bleed real blood for the love that you wish to get
Continuing to endure real pain for the desired love.
And you take, you only take just what you need
Taking only what is essential, emphasizing a selective approach.
And what you need is more love
Expressing a need for more love despite taking only what is necessary.
But what you want is more thrill
Desiring more excitement and thrill than what is required.
To explore it still
Expressing a curiosity to explore further despite uncertainties.
What might have been
Reflecting on the potential outcomes that remain unrealized.
