Longing for Change: A Melancholic Journey Through Love
Lyrics
It's hard to face it
Expressing difficulty in confronting something.
The colors faded
Indicating that the vibrancy or liveliness has diminished.
I don't think I can change but I wish I could change
Feeling incapable of changing despite a desire or wish to do so.
The constant battle
Referring to a continual struggle or conflict.
It doesn't matter
Suggesting that regardless of the struggle, it holds no significance.
You know that you can stay if you wanted to stay
Acknowledging the option for someone to stay, although implying they won't.
But nothing feels the same
Expressing a lack of familiarity or emotional connection.
She says, honey
Introducing dialogue where 'she' addresses 'honey.'
Maybe I'll love you someday
Hinting at a possibility of loving in the future.
Isn't it funny
Reflecting on the irony or peculiarity of their journey.
We're always taking the long way
Always choosing the longer or more complicated route metaphorically.
Home
Referencing the destination or place of comfort/security.
Are we see through
Questioning whether their true selves are visible or transparent.
I hardly see you
Expressing the infrequency of seeing the person.
I know this isn't fate but why can't this be fate
Questioning why something that doesn't seem destined feels so destined.
Because nothing feels the same
Reiterating the feeling of emotional detachment or unfamiliarity.
She says honey,
Repeated dialogue, reinforcing the previous sentiment.
Maybe I'll love you someday
Similar to line 11, indicating a potential for future love.
Isn't it funny
Reiterating the irony or oddity in their chosen path.
We're always taking the long way
Reflecting on continually opting for a longer or more complex route.
Home
Returning to the idea of 'home' as a final destination or comfort.
