Bittersweet End
Time's Embrace: Nostalgia and Heartache in Zhymonne Escober's Bittersweet End
Lyrics
Where did all the time go
Reflecting on the passage of time
Just yesterday you were holding me
Nostalgia for a past moment when the speaker was held
In your arms babe, oh I wish I was there
Desire to be physically close to the person
To watch you play with my hair
Yearning to experience the affectionate act of having hair played with
Seducing me with your charms
Feeling captivated by the partner's charms
I'm so mesmerized
Expressing fascination and enchantment
With that look in your eyes
Noting a specific look in the partner's eyes
I long for those intimate
Longing for intimate moments
Times
Yearning for past intimate times
This feeling is brand new
Describing a new and unfamiliar emotional state
One that I don't recognize
Acknowledging unfamiliar feelings
You, don't want to lose you and start all over again
Expressing fear of losing the partner and starting anew
Why the bittersweet end? you know that I love you too
Questioning the reason for a bittersweet ending despite love
Night, baby I lie awake
Insomnia and contemplation during the night
Thinking of a compromise
Contemplating a compromise to resolve issues
That would help break the ice
Desire to mend a strained relationship
Cloudy mind, stormy eyes, fighting about whos wrong or right
Describing emotional turmoil and conflicts
Couldn't swallow my pride
Unable to swallow one's pride during an argument
And it left a mark
Consequences of not yielding in an argument
Now we're both stuck in the
Both partners stuck in a difficult situation
Dark
Reference to a loss of passion or connection
We lost our spark
Confirmation of the loss of a spark in the relationship
Now we're apart and it scars
Feeling the emotional scars of separation
You, don't want to lose you and start all over again
Reiterating the fear of losing and starting over
Oh how good we could've been but you fell out of love
Expressing the potential of a missed opportunity
You, don't want to lose you and start all over again
Reiterating the fear of losing and starting over
Why the bittersweet end? you know that I love you too
Questioning the reason for a bittersweet ending despite love
Where did all the time go
Repetition of the reflection on the passage of time
Just yesterday you were laying right
Nostalgia for a past moment of closeness
Beside me, oh it feels like a dream
Feeling like a dream, possibly an unreal or distant memory
A blur in a time where
Describing a blurry period when the partner was more than a memory
You weren't just a memory
Reflecting on the current state where the partner is now just a memory
And now I get no sleep
Insomnia and lack of sleep due to the absence of the partner
Too many hours without your
Longing for the partner's companionship during wakeful hours
Company
Realization that the relationship was not meant to be
I finally see
Acknowledging the truth about the incompatibility
That we weren't meant to be
Expressing the understanding that the relationship wasn't destined
Oh no no, darling
Denying the compatibility of the relationship
Not meant to be
Affirming that the relationship was not meant to be
