Then I Heard Your Name
Echoes of Regret: Unraveling the Emotional Symphony in 'Then I Heard Your Name'
Lyrics
I figured it out
I successfully understood a situation or emotion.
I learned how to move on
I acquired the ability to move forward from a past experience.
And live my life
Now, I'm actively living my life.
Now that you're gone
This refers to the absence of someone important.
Find things to forget
I distract myself from memories, possibly through various activities.
Like a bottle of red
Using a bottle of red could be a metaphor for coping or seeking solace.
Couldn't carry this load
There's a burden or emotional weight that became too much to bear.
So I hit the road
I decided to leave or escape from the situation.
Then I thought I was good
Initially, I believed I was doing well emotionally.
Had my life understood
I thought I had a clear understanding of my life.
Thought I was okay
Initially, I thought I was emotionally stable.
Then I heard your name
My emotional state changed upon hearing your name.
This city never sleeps
A general observation about the city's constant activity.
Oh I guess that makes two
Suggesting that the singer is also restless and unable to sleep.
Cause I'm wide awake
The singer is wide awake and actively thinking about the person mentioned.
Thinking bout you
Continued contemplation or rumination about the absent person.
Now I hear your voice
The singer recalls hearing the person's voice.
Saying please come back home
The voice is requesting a return home, suggesting a longing for reconciliation.
But you're not around
Despite the request, the person is not physically present.
And I'm here alone
The singer is left alone, dealing with the absence of the person.
And if your hands get cold
A metaphorical offer of support and warmth for the absent person.
Always have mine to hold
A promise to be there for the person in times of need.
Oh I wish you were here
An expression of a desire for the person to be present for emotional support.
To dry all my tears
Expressing a wish for the person's comfort and reassurance.
No, I'm not good
Admitting that the emotional state is not good or stable.
Had life misunderstood
Realizing a misunderstanding about life and its challenges.
No, I'm not okay
An acknowledgment that the emotional state is not okay.
Cause I heard your name
The emotional turmoil is triggered by hearing the person's name again.
I heard your name
The repetition emphasizes the impact of hearing the person's name.
