Andrea von Kampen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a warmth in the air and I could feel it
When he left I was still here
Sitting in a cold and unmade bed
But we were pages
Pages of words
That will never be spoken
Pages of words
That will never be spoken
When I look back on this day
I know I could say it's for a reason
When I start to doubt myself
I can trust that a plan will unfold
But we were pages
Pages of words
That will never be spoken
Yes we were pages
Pages of words
That will never be spoken
And now I can see
What I meant to you
And what you meant to me
Well he filled the room with sunlight
Like a warmth in the air and I could feel it
The first verse of Andrea von Kampen's song "Pages" reveals the memory of a relationship that has ended. The image of the sunlight filling up a room represents the warmth and comfort the person brought into the singer's life. However, as the person left, the singer was left alone in a cold and unmade bed, representing a feeling of sudden emptiness and loss. The second verse shows the singer's reflection on the situation. Although something unfortunate happened, she trusts that there is a reason for it, and she can move forward with patience and a positive outlook. The chorus repeats the phrase "we were pages of words that will never be spoken," highlighting the sad truth that some stories remain untold and some feelings remain unexpressed.
The song captures the bittersweet feeling of looking back on a past relationship with both regret and acceptance. The emotional weight of the situation is carried through the soft, melancholic melody and the soothing acoustic guitar instrumental. By the end of the song, the singer realizes that even though some things end and heartbreak is inevitable, the memories of the past are still valuable and can lead to important self-reflection and personal growth.

Well he filled the room with sunlight
He brought light into my life
Like a warmth in the air and I could feel it
His presence created a comforting atmosphere
When he left I was still here
After he was gone, I was left alone
Sitting in a cold and unmade bed
Feeling isolated and abandoned
But we were pages
Our relationship was like a book
Pages of words
Filled with memories, feelings and emotions
That will never be spoken
That we never got to express
When I look back on this day
Reflecting on the past
I know I could say it's for a reason
Finding a purpose in what happened
When I start to doubt myself
Questioning my own worth
I can trust that a plan will unfold
Believing in fate and destiny
And now I can see
With hindsight, I understand
What I meant to you
How important I was to you
And what you meant to me
How much you meant to me
