I Am Only One
Echoes of Longing: A Journey Through Unfulfilled Dreams
Lyrics
Memories fade into the silence,
Reflecting on past experiences as they gradually disappear into quietness.
Haunting me tonight,
Feeling disturbed or haunted by something tonight.
With hopes that last forever, I take this moment in,
Expressing a moment filled with eternal hopes, aware that it will be the last of its kind.
It will be the last.
Acknowledging that the current moment is final and won't be repeated.
The morning breaks, and sunlight takes
As dawn arrives, the sunlight helps alleviate the pain.
The pain away.
Finding solace and relief from emotional pain as morning breaks.
Ever after never came,
Realizing that the anticipated 'happily ever after' never materialized.
And I'm still waiting for a life that never was,
Waiting for a life that was never realized, still hopeful despite unmet expectations.
And all the dreams I lay to rest,
Letting go of dreams that will never come true.
The ghost that keeps me, after all that I've become,
Haunted by the lingering effects of past experiences despite personal growth.
I am only one.
Emphasizing the individual's singularity and perhaps feelings of isolation.
I am only one.
Reiterating the sense of being alone and unique in one's experiences.
I close my eyes and plead this empty heart
Closing one's eyes and yearning for relief from a desolate heart.
Of all that longs to die,
Expressing a desire for the end of things that cause emotional pain.
When faces lie and love will falter,
When people deceive and love falters, only time remains.
I'm left with only time,
Left with only time after facing deception and the breakdown of love.
And time will break the dreams that take,
Recognizing that time has the power to erode dreams and alleviate pain.
The pain away.
Time has the ability to ease emotional pain and dissolve dreams.
Ever after never came,
Continuing the theme of unfulfilled 'ever after' scenarios.
And I'm still waiting for a life that never was,
Persisting in waiting for a life that never materialized.
And all the dreams I lay to rest,
Putting dreams to rest, accepting that they won't come true.
The ghost that keeps me, after all that I've become,
Haunted by the lingering effects of the past despite personal evolution.
I am only one.
Emphasizing the individual's singularity and the loneliness it may entail.
I am only one.
Reiterating the sense of being alone and unique in one's experiences.
I'm on my own here, and
Expressing a state of independence and the absence of anyone to play the role of a hero.
No-one's left to be the hero.
Feeling alone with no one to fulfill the role of a hero.
This fairy tale's gone wrong as
Acknowledging the deviation from the expected happy ending in the fairy tale.
Night will fall, my heart will die alone.
Anticipating a dark and lonely future as night falls.
Ever after never came,
Reiterating the theme of unfulfilled 'ever after' scenarios.
And I'm still waiting for my heart to beat again.
Continuing to wait for the heart to beat again, despite the challenges.
And all the dreams I lay to rest,
Letting go of dreams, acknowledging that they won't be realized.
The ghost that keeps me, after all that I've become,
Haunted by the lingering effects of past experiences despite personal growth.
I am only one.
Emphasizing the individual's singularity and perhaps feelings of isolation.
I am only one.
Reiterating the sense of being alone and unique in one's experiences.
I am only one.
Concluding with a powerful declaration of individuality and aloneness.
