Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That you no longer care
The breeze and I are whispering goodbye
To dreams we used to share
Ours was a love song that seemed constant as the moon
Ending in a strange, mournful tune
And all about me, they know you have departed without me
The breeze and I

The breeze is personified, and the sorrowful sigh is a representation of the pain the singer is experiencing.
The second stanza portrays the couple's past as a love story that seemed to be constant and unbreakable, just like the moon. However, it ended in a mournful way, and now the singer is left to wonder why their lover departed without them. The line "And all about me, they know you have departed without me" suggests that the singer's pain is not only confined within themselves but is something that is visible to everyone around them.
Overall, The Breeze and I is a poignant reminder of a love that once existed, but has now faded away, leaving behind only memories and sadness.

The breeze and I are saying with a sigh
The soft gusts of wind and I are expressing our disappointment with a deep exhale
That you no longer care
You no longer exhibit a sense of interest or concern towards me
The breeze and I are whispering goodbye
The gentle wind and I are tenderly bidding farewell
To dreams we used to share
We are leaving behind the aspirations we once both held
Ours was a love song that seemed constant as the moon
Our romance was likened to a ballad that appeared as steady as the lunar cycle
Ending in a strange, mournful tune
However, it ultimately ended with an unusual and sorrowful sound
And all about me, they know you have departed without me
Everyone around me is aware that you have left me behind
And we wonder why, the breeze and I
Both the wind and I ponder as to why this has come to pass
The breeze and I
