River to the Sea
Melancholy River: A Heart's Symphony Fading
Lyrics
I listen to your words you bring silence to my song
The speaker pays attention to someone's words, which stop the sound or essence of their own song.
The notes flow like a river broken glass the love is gone
The musical notes continue like a river, but the love has ended and feels shattered like broken glass.
There are traces of a struggle but that too will disappear
There are signs or remnants of a conflict or fight, but eventually, these signs will also vanish.
There's no music that replaces a love that once was dear
No music can replace the love that was once cherished.
Smashed and torn pulled apart a lover's riff can be so cold and dark
The relationship has been severely damaged, causing emotional pain; a lover's disagreement can be harsh and bleak.
The night will lift to a morning sky still I morn for love with all the reasons mine
Despite the passing of time (from night to morning), the speaker still mourns the lost love, feeling it was valid for personal reasons.
This river flows with no trace of you my words are gone still the notes play through
The river of life continues without any evidence or trace of the person addressed; despite this, the music or essence remains.
A trial to a courtroom a trial of the heart
Comparing the emotional turmoil of a failed love to a legal trial, a trial that involves the heart.
A verdict the results from a wounded broken heart
