Echoes of Heartbreak: Travels & Trunks' Melancholic Ode to Love Lost
Lyrics
Most things ain't changed since you were leaving
Reflecting on the unchanged aspects of life since the departure of the person being addressed.
And in that dreams I have you look just like you did
Describing dreams where the person looks the same as when they were first met.
On the night that I first met you
Recalling the night of the initial encounter with the person.
When I fell for heart and grace
Expressing admiration for the person's heart and grace that led to falling in love.
And I'm trying to keep them memories
Attempting to hold onto and cherish memories of the past.
Until we meet again
Anticipating a future meeting with the person again.
Most times I sleep until the evening
Describing a pattern of sleeping until the evening most times.
Well, than it's cigarettes and drinks and the blues and me
Detailing a routine involving cigarettes, drinks, and blues during wakeful hours.
And the song the record's playing baby, just the same
Referencing a song on a record that remains constant, possibly symbolizing continuity.
Since I'm trying to keep them memories
Persistently holding onto memories despite challenges.
Until we meet again
Reiterating the desire to maintain memories until a reunion.
When the cathedral bells cry their last song oh so well
Symbolizing the passing of time with the imagery of cathedral bells and the commitment to be there.
I'll be there right on time
Emphasizing punctuality and commitment to being present when needed.
Alright, alright
An affirmative expression, possibly indicating determination or agreement.
But the days are still wearing
Noting that days continue but carry the weight of weariness.
And most nights are pain
Acknowledging the pain experienced during most nights.
And I'm trying to keep them memories
Reiterating the effort to preserve and hold onto memories despite challenges.
Until we meet again
Expressing the intention to maintain memories until a future meeting.
