Thoughts
Eva and the Vagabond Tales Lyrics

In the first verse of "Thoughts," there is a poignant reflection on a past relationship or situation that remains unresolved. The imagery of a "thought unfinished" and the longing for an end to unfulfilled desires capture the sense of incompleteness and yearning that lingers. Despite the absence of closure, there is a glimmer of hope that time may eventually bring resolution or understanding.

The second verse delves into the complexity of emotions involved in giving oneself fully to another, only to realize that something crucial is missing. The singer acknowledges that despite their efforts, the relationship has reached its conclusion. The introspective tone suggests a sense of acceptance and resignation to the inevitable end of what was once cherished.

The repeated question "So why don't you tell me why" serves as a plea for clarity and understanding amidst the confusion and heartbreak. It reflects the desire to make sense of the situation and to confront the reasons behind the emotional turmoil. The plaintive repetition of this question conveys a sense of desperation and a quest for closure.

In the final verse, there is a sense of reckoning with the aftermath of the separation. The singer admonishes the other person not to deny the finality of the situation and the pain that comes with it. The burden of guilt and regret is acknowledged, with a recognition that each individual will carry their share of responsibility and consequences. The refrain "So why don't you tell me why" encapsulates the plea for honesty and transparency in facing the reality of the situation and coming to terms with the end of a chapter.
