Missing
Anita Lipnicka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cover that crystal ball, that bloodshot eye
Let the last out turn off the light
But don't lock the door, there's someone still inside
A silly bride for a silly day
The guests they came
The guests they went away
What are we missing
Whose memories are we kissing
From our soul to your fingertips
Melt down that key to your broken heart
They never gave you a chance to even start
Too much sadness and your shadow will die
Hang out your tears to let them dry
She's on fire but got frozen lips
The life she could have would never fit
She walks through the forest singing nursery rhymes
All the leaves on the trees whisper - " once upon a time . "
The lyrics of "Missing" by Anita Lipnicka & John Porter are very emotional and deep, as the words paint a vivid picture of a heartbroken and lost soul. The opening lines, "Nail the stars across that wooden sky, Cover that crystal ball, that bloodshot eye," suggest a sense of trying to escape from pain and find solace in fantasy or a higher power. However, the lyrics also suggest a sense of isolation with the lines "Let the last out turn off the light, But don't lock the door, there's someone still inside," hinting at a desire to be alone and yet not completely cut off from the world.
The second verse seems to address the sense of regret and longing for what could have been, starting with the lines "A silly bride for a silly day, The guests they came, The guests they went away." These lines suggest that the singer is looking back on a failed relationship or perhaps a missed opportunity, and wondering what could have been. The repeated question of "What are we missing, Whose memories are we kissing, From our soul to your fingertips," reinforces this sense of loss and searching.
The final verse is perhaps the most poignant, with lines like "Melt down that key to your broken heart, They never gave you a chance to even start," suggesting a sense of hopelessness and despair. The idea of hanging out one's tears to dry is both heartbreaking and hopeful, suggesting that even in the midst of pain and loss, there is a possibility of healing and moving forward. The last two lines, "She walks through the forest singing nursery rhymes, All the leaves on the trees whisper - 'once upon a time'," suggest a return to childhood innocence and imagination as a way of coping with the harsh realities of life.
Overall, "Missing" is a powerful and moving song that speaks to the human experience of loss, longing, and the search for meaning and connection.
Line by Line Meaning
Nail the stars across that wooden sky
Create your own universe, make it unique by painting the sky with the stars of your dreams
Cover that crystal ball, that bloodshot eye
Hide your vulnerability, your glimpse of the future that no one wants to know about
Let the last out turn off the light
Accept what cannot be changed and let go of everything that is not necessary
But don't lock the door, there's someone still inside
Leave a door open for hope, someone might come back, or something new can come in
A silly bride for a silly day
A moment of happiness that might seem unnecessary or even foolish but is still worth celebrating
The guests they came
People around us come and go, their presence in our life is often temporary
The guests they went away
People come, they enjoy the moment, and then leave, and we are left with the memory
What are we missing
What is that one thing we cannot have, we are looking for, and cannot find
Whose memories are we kissing
Whose memories are we holding onto, whose love is still wrapped around our heart
From our soul to your fingertips
Our emotions and feelings travel through our body, reaching every part of our being.
Melt down that key to your broken heart
That key to our heart is broken, and cannot open any doors anymore. It's time to let it go.
They never gave you a chance to even start
You were never able to take your first step, you were never given a chance to try
Too much sadness and your shadow will die
Too much grief will consume you and make you feel empty inside, leaving a lifeless shadow of your former self
Hang out your tears to let them dry
Let your tears flow, it's okay to show your emotions, but at some point, you have to let them go
She's on fire but got frozen lips
She's bursting with passion, but she's unable to express it
The life she could have would never fit
The life she imagined for herself doesn't match reality
She walks through the forest singing nursery rhymes
She seeks refuge in nature and channels her inner child, finding joy in the little things
All the leaves on the trees whisper - "once upon a time."
The trees have a story to tell, they have witnessed the past, and are echoing the memories of those who lived before us.
