Long Year
Echoes of Lost Joy: Veronica Pichardo's Melancholic Reflections
Lyrics
It's been a long year
Expressing the passage of a challenging and difficult year
And I ain't got no cheer
Conveying a lack of happiness or festive spirit
The bells have been ringing
Referring to the traditional ringing of bells during the holiday season
But I'm no longer singing
Indicating a loss of enthusiasm and joy, possibly due to personal struggles
Standing under the mistletoe, but still feeling so alone
Describing a sense of loneliness despite being in a traditionally festive setting
I feel so unaccomplished
Expressing feelings of inadequacy and unfulfillment
Thought this year would've been it
Reflecting on unmet expectations for the year
I got 1, 2, 3 on my doorstep
Noting the presence of physical objects (possibly gifts) on the doorstep
Ain't nobody waiting on my doorstep
Highlighting the absence of anyone eagerly waiting for the speaker
Christmas time a vibe, now it's useless
Contrasting the usual joyous atmosphere of Christmas with the current sense of uselessness
Don't even know how to get through this
Expressing uncertainty and a lack of knowledge on how to overcome challenges
It's so sad, so sad, so sad
Emphasizing the sadness and difficulty experienced throughout the year
It's been a long year
Reiterating the prolonged duration of a challenging year
And I ain't got no cheer
Reemphasizing the absence of festive joy or celebration
The bells have been ringing
Referring again to the ringing of bells during the holiday season
But I'm no longer singing
Stating the cessation of singing, indicating a lack of emotional expression
Standing under the mistletoe, but still feeling so alone
Expressing a continued sense of loneliness beneath the mistletoe
I feel so unaccomplished
Reiterating feelings of inadequacy and unfulfillment
Thought this year would've been it
Reflecting on unmet expectations for personal achievements during the year
I'll keep it short
Expressing a desire to keep communication short and avoid unnecessary interactions
Please don't come knocking on my door
Setting boundaries and requesting privacy or solitude
I wrote this song in a hurry
Acknowledging the hurried creation of the song
I'm getting back to misery soon
Expressing a return to a state of unhappiness or distress
I'm hoping things will get better
Expressing hope for improvement in the future despite current difficulties
Because under this weather
Associating the speaker's emotional state with the current weather conditions
All my joy has been dying
Describing the gradual fading of joy over time
Don't even feel like trying, no
Expressing a reluctance to make efforts due to a lack of motivation
Cause it's been a long year
Reiterating the prolonged duration of a challenging year and the absence of cheer
And I ain't got no cheer, no
Continuing to emphasize the lack of festive spirit or happiness
And we all say
Introducing a collective acknowledgment of the challenging year
It's been a long year
Reiterating the passage of a difficult year
And I ain't got no cheer
Emphasizing the absence of festive joy or celebration
The bells have been ringing
Referring again to the ringing of bells during the holiday season
But I'm no longer singing
Stating the cessation of singing, indicating a lack of emotional expression
Standing under the mistletoe, but still feeling so alone
Expressing a continued sense of loneliness beneath the mistletoe
I feel so unaccomplished
Reiterating feelings of inadequacy and unfulfillment
Thought this year would've been it, yeah
Reflecting on unmet expectations for personal achievements during the year
