Looking For You
In Search of Lost Love: The Vlasics' Emotional Journey
Lyrics
I've been looking for you
Searching for someone
Day and night
Persistently, throughout the day and night
It's hard to see the footprints
Difficulty in recognizing the path taken
On the sand
Metaphor for the passage of time
You have me wonder
Raising questions about the person's whereabouts
If you'll ever come back
Doubting the possibility of their return
You just left
Reference to the person's departure
I've been looking for you
Continuation of the search
Day and night
Consistent pursuit day and night
It's hard to see the footprints
Reiteration of the challenge in tracking footsteps
On the sand
Repeating the metaphor of time passing
You have me wonder if you'll ever come back
Expressing uncertainty about the person's return
You just left in a cold
Emphasis on the departure occurring in a cold atmosphere
Night
Highlighting the emotional tone of the departure
Cold night
Repetition of the emotional and cold setting
I've been wasting my time
Feeling of wasting time in the pursuit
Trying to find you
Continued effort to locate the person
And you made me do shit
Attributing undesirable actions to the person being searched
I didn't want to do
Undesired actions caused by the search
Every time you cry
Associating emotional pain with the person's tears
My heart just breaks in half
Heartbreak caused by the person's distress
