pass her by
Echoes of Deceit: Love's Departure in Zion Jacobs' Melody
Lyrics
She told me pretty lies every day
He was consistently fed falsehoods by her.
And to think that I believed them
Reflects his realization of believing her lies.
We met in high school what a cliché
Their meeting during high school was cliché or typical.
But I'm now I'm drowning in the deep end
Feeling overwhelmed or struggling now in the relationship.
I played guitar while she rolled her eyes
He played music while she showed disinterest.
She wrote me off like those other guys
She categorized him with other dismissed individuals.
I will admit she was kind of uptight
She had a reserved or rigid nature.
But if I told the truth I'd tell you tonight
Expressing his inclination to reveal the truth tonight.
I'll keep you my secret, locked away until I need it
He intends to keep a secret until necessary.
I lost you, but you found me, another reason to leave it behind
Despite losing the relationship, he sees it as a chance to move forward.
This ship has sailed and I'm a castaway, I'll send an SOS to you one day
Feeling adrift and abandoned, hinting at seeking help.
And if you see it you best believe it, cuz I know again I'll see you someday
Confident in encountering her again someday.
This amputation isn't going to plan
The separation or detachment isn't going as planned.
But am I even allowed to speak
Questioning his right to voice his feelings due to his wrongdoing.
I've done her wrong, still I've done all I can
He acknowledges his mistakes but feels limited in rectifying them.
To make her know I'm not who she thinks
Trying to change her perception of him.
She's got her band, and I've got my regrets
They're pursuing different paths, leading to regret for him.
Chasing dreams while I'm catching my breath
While she's chasing dreams, he's struggling.
But don't blink now, you might miss my flight
A warning not to miss his departure or change.
At the horizon as a passerby
Seeing himself as a passerby in her life now.
I'll keep you my secret, locked away until I need it
Reiteration of keeping a secret until necessary.
I lost you, but you found me, another reason to leave it behind
Reaffirmation of moving past losing the relationship.
This ship has sailed and I'm a castaway, I'll send an SOS to you one day
Expresses being stranded and seeking rescue.
And if you see it you best believe it, cuz I know again I'll see you someday
Confident in encountering her again in the future.
Cuz I know again I'll see you someday
Reasserts the belief in meeting her again someday.
