Nina
Nina: A Soul's Journey Through Regret and Longing
Lyrics
If I only knew your life was on the line
Regret for not realizing the seriousness of the situation
Wouldn't have left your tail so low that you were feeling
Feeling remorseful for causing someone's sadness
Like you only might be along here for the ride
Suspecting that someone might feel used or unimportant in a situation
Only tears can tell me what I need to hear about it now
Only emotional expressions can reveal the truth now
I still fear the change
Fear of undergoing a transformation or change
Burning your photo
Destroying a photo of the person
Burn the frame
Destroying the physical representation of the memory
When all my effort ends the same
Feelings of futility despite efforts
Can I atone
Desire to make amends or seek forgiveness
I don't want to fail
Expressing a fear of not succeeding
Nina you can you sail on
Encouraging someone to continue their journey
And on
Emphasis on the continuation of the journey
I don't want to fail
Expressing a fear of failure
Nina you can you sail on
Encouragement to keep going despite fears
And on
Reiterating the encouragement for continuation
I thought that love like this was just a lie
Believing that a certain type of love is false or unattainable
Only takes one try for pain that you invite
Suggesting that pain only requires one opportunity to enter one's life
To become the pleasure that gambles with a life
Implies that seeking pleasure can sometimes risk one's life
And it only tells you exactly what you want to hear
Validation that people often hear what they want to hear
I still fear the change
Continued fear of change
You're still on my phone
Still thinking about the person
Still saying your name
Continuing to remember and mention their name
For all my strength
Despite strength, feeling unable to prevent something
Still helpless to stay
Feeling powerless to change the situation
Can this go on
Questioning the sustainability of the current state
I don't want to fail
Reiteration of fear of failing
Nina you can you sail on
Encouraging someone to continue despite adversity
(If I can make it own my own)
Personal determination to succeed alone
I don't want to fail
Expressing a wish for having known something earlier
Nina you can you sail on
Encouragement to continue despite past ignorance
(If only you and I had known)
Regret for lack of previous knowledge
I still fear the change
Continued fear of change
Burning your photo
Repeating the action of destroying the photo
Burn the frame
Repeating the destruction of the physical memory
When all my effort ends the same
Feeling futile despite repeated efforts
Can I atone
Desire to make amends or seek forgiveness (repeated)
I don't want to fail
Expressing a fear of failure (repeated)
Nina you can you sail on
Encouragement to continue despite adversity (repeated)
(If I can make it own my own)
Personal determination to succeed alone (repeated)
I don't want to fail
Expressing a wish for having known something earlier (repeated)
Nina you can you sail on
Encouragement to continue despite past ignorance (repeated)
(If only you and I had known)
Regret for lack of previous knowledge (repeated)
Sail on
Encouragement to continue
(If I can make it on my own)
-Sail on
Continuation of the encouragement
(Sail on, sail on, sail on)
Reiteration of the wish for earlier knowledge
(If only you and I had known)
Repeating regret for lack of previous knowledge
