And The World Turned
Gabe Dixon Band Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
the sun on her skin and a tear on her cheek
With her hand on her chest and the wind in her hair
Underneath her breath like a beggar's prayer she said
I miss you, come back to me
I wish you'd come back to me
And the world turned and the world turned and the world turned
And thats when the girl reached in her pocket
pulled out a silver heart-shaped locket
Opened it up and stared for a while at her faded boy
with a lazy smile, oh how
I miss you, come back to me
I wish you'd come back to me
But nobody heard
And the world turned and the world turned and the world turned
And she walked to the deepest part of the river
And she thought about diving in
She imagined how the current would overtake her
How easy it would be to disappear
But instead she tossed the locket
In the cool, blue, water
That night in her bed, she let herself weep
She let herself cry herself to sleep
And there in a dream somewhere in the night
Saw the boy and the locket by the riverside, saying
I miss you, come back to me
I wish you'd come back to me
But nobody heard
And the world turned and the world turned and the world turned
The lyrics to the Gabe Dixon Band's song "And The World Turned" tell the story of a girl standing on rocks by the water's edge, feeling the sun on her skin and a tear on her cheek. She reflects on her lost love, and beneath her breath, she whispers a prayer for him to come back. But nobody hears her. She then pulls out a heart-shaped locket, staring at the faded image of her former lover. She considers diving into the river but instead tosses the locket into the water. That night she cries herself to sleep, dreaming of the boy and the locket by the riverside.
The lyrics are about the experience of loss and how it can consume a person's thoughts and emotions. The girl in the song is struggling to move on from her lost love and feels isolated in her grief. The locket represents the memories that she's clinging onto, and by tossing it into the water, she's symbolically letting go of her past and ready to move forward.
The song is a beautiful and heartfelt ode to lost love, and its message is powerful and relatable. The chorus is simple but poignant, with the repetition of the lines "I miss you, come back to me, I wish you'd come back to me, but nobody heard, and the world turned and the world turned, and the world turned" drilling home the idea that the world doesn't stop for anyone's pain.
