Letters Never Sent Pt. 2
Arthur Nery Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fears of growing old, feeling misguided by my own wisdom
I′m corny, you know I've always been
As always as the glow on your skin
Or the flow of the wind as it dances
Between every follicle of hair that God put in
What a paint brush he must have
You constellation formation of past stars, I′m appalled
You used to wonder why I stare
I met you too early
I'm good at procrastination
It's almost 3:30 already
It′s been all this time, and I′m still not ready
The lyrics to Arthur Nery's song Letters Never Sent Pt. 2 convey a sense of longing and regret as the singer reflects on a past relationship that he wishes he could have held onto. Despite the physical distance between them and the fact that they have gone their separate ways, the singer still misses his former partner deeply. He is haunted by the fear of growing old alone, and wonders if his own wisdom and decision-making skills have misguided him in the past.
The singer admits that he has always been a bit corny, but he can't help being drawn to the beauty of his former partner. He likens her to a masterpiece, using the metaphor of a paint brush to highlight her unique qualities. He also admires her confidence and the way she carries herself, comparing her to a formation of past stars. Despite his admiration, the singer is aware that his staring makes her uncomfortable, adding to his sense of regret.
The last few lines of the song tie everything together as the singer reflects on how he met his former partner too early and yet was still not ready for her. He acknowledges that he has a tendency to procrastinate, but wishes that he had acted differently in this case. The overall tone of the song is one of wistfulness and a deep sense of loss.
