Love Lost Through Misunderstanding
This lyric centers on the aftermath of a breakup caused by miscommunication. The speaker recalls a quiet night when the beloved cried, admits to his own sadness, and notes that neither could bridge their misunderstanding. Now abandoned, he describes his solitude as color draining from his dreams and affection disappearing from his home. At dusk he returns to their old meeting place, wearing grief like a crown, and is haunted by the memory of her sobs. The poem traces how regret and memory sustain pain after love fails.
Read Complete AnalysesYou were crying on a quiet night, those tears in your eyes you weren't hiding, I was so sad and so depressed inside, and yet we couldn't overcome misunderstanding. Now you are gone, I'm here, on my own, my dreams have faded, losing tint and colour, you left me, and again I am all alone, without tenderness and greeting, in my parlour. When evening comes I often, crowned with rue, come to the place of our dating here, and in my dreams I see the sight of you and hear you crying bitterly, my dear.
