Four Walls
Yearning Echoes: Embraced by Four Walls of Love
Lyrics
Four walls to hear me
Feeling confined within boundaries that can hear me.
Four walls to see
Bound by walls that witness my actions.
Four walls too near me
Surrounded by walls that encroach upon my personal space.
They're closing in on me
Sensation of being trapped or overwhelmed by confinement.
Out where the bright lights are glowing
Being drawn to a lively, enticing environment.
You're drawn like a moth to a flame
Metaphorically likening attraction to a bright source, despite risks.
You laugh while the wine's overflowing
Observing someone else's enjoyment while feeling separated or excluded.
While I sit here and whisper your name
Longing for someone while being isolated.
Four walls to hear me
Reiteration of feeling confined within walls that can hear.
Four walls to see
Emphasizing the walls as observers of actions and events.
Four walls too near me
Feeling claustrophobic due to walls encroaching personally.
They're closing in on me
Reinforcement of feeling trapped or overwhelmed by confinement.
Sometimes I ask why I'm waiting
Questioning the rationale behind waiting.
But my walls have nothing to say
Realization that confinement offers no answers or responses.
I'm made for love not for hating
Understanding a personal disposition towards love rather than hostility.
So here where you left me I'll stay
Deciding to stay in the place where abandonment occurred.
One night with you is like heaven
Describing the euphoria of being with the person.
And so while I'm walking the floor
Expressing restlessness while waiting for the person.
I'll listen for steps in the hallway
Listening attentively for signs of the person's arrival.
And wait for your knock on my door.
Anticipating the person's arrival at the door.
Four walls to hear me
Feeling confined within walls that can hear.
Four walls to see
Highlighting walls as silent witnesses to actions.
Four walls to near me
Sense of walls encroaching upon personal space.
They''re closing in on me
Reiterated feeling of being overwhelmed by confinement.
They''re closing in on me
Emphasizing the increasing sensation of being trapped.
