Lyrics
Before the lights went out
Reflecting on a time before a significant change or challenge occurred.
We sat and talked about
Discussing various topics or aspects of life with someone.
All the things we'd be
Imagining or planning the potential future outcomes or experiences.
Just needed her to be with me
Expressing the need for the person's presence in the envisioned future.
All around that time
Referring to a specific time, possibly associated with emotional intensity.
I was feeling high
Feeling euphoric or exhilarated.
A mind of my own
Having an independent mindset and being comfortable with solitude.
I didn't mind being alone
Being content with one's own company.
So what do you say when it's all been said
Questioning what to say when everything has already been expressed.
And how do you feel when it's all been felt
Exploring emotions after they have been fully experienced.
And where do you go when it's all gone
Contemplating where to go after a phase or situation has ended.
And you don't care enough to carry on
Feeling indifferent and not invested enough to continue.
Now what do you say when it's all been said
Repeating the question of what to say after everything has been said.
And how do you feel when it's all been felt
Revisiting emotions after they have already been deeply felt.
You will live the present tense, won't look back!
Embracing the present moment and choosing not to dwell on the past.
We made it up not real
Acknowledging that certain aspects of life may be fabricated or unreal.
We tried to think not feel
Attempting to approach life with logic rather than emotions.
When we closed our eyes
Shutting one's eyes, symbolizing a deliberate avoidance of deeper emotions.
And tried to look down deep inside
Trying to introspect but avoiding confronting inner feelings.
Looked away not through
Avoiding facing reality and choosing to look away instead.
We used to say not do
Previously preferring words over actions.
Now I understand
Gaining understanding but unable to perceive as before.
I cannot see what I saw then
Recognizing a change in perception or awareness.
So what do you say when it's all been said
Reiterating the challenge of finding words when everything has been said.
And how do you feel when it's all been felt
Exploring emotions that linger even after they have been deeply felt.
And where do you go when it's all gone
Questioning the destination after everything familiar has disappeared.
And you don't care enough to carry on
Feeling detached and not caring enough to continue.
Now what do you say when it's all been said
Repeating the challenge of finding words after everything has been said.
And how do you feel when it's all been felt
Revisiting emotions even when they have already been deeply felt.
You will live the present tense, won't look back!
Choosing to live in the present without dwelling on the past.
I will be just fine
Expressing confidence in being fine once detachment is achieved.
I will be alright
Affirming that everything will be okay in the end.
Just as soon as I let go
Anticipating a positive outcome upon letting go of the past.
