The Wind
Jopek Anna Maria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The leaf hangs in mid air
An open window lets in the cold
Time stands like a century (I feel you)
There's nothing left but everything remains
To remind me I miss you
And everything I see and touch is tainted
Who plays your voice to me
Who strings it on the breeze
If I could just believe
But it's nothing just the wind
If I put it in a hidden place
An image in my mind
The window may close some more each day
And then time might keep on moving
Who plays your voice to me
Who strings it on the breeze
If I could just believe
But it's nothing just the wind
Who plays your voice to me
Who strings it on the breeze
If I could just believe
But it's nothing just the wind
Who steals these falling tears
Who heals the aching years
I thought I heard you speak
It's nothing just the wind
Who steals these falling tears
Who heals the aching years
I thought I heard you speak
It's nothing just the wind
The Wind by Jopek Anna Maria is a melancholic and poignant song about longing for someone who is no longer present. The lyrics describe the dreary and desolate atmosphere that surrounds the singer as she reminisces on the past. The first verse sets the somber mood, as the sky turns grey and everything seems to stand still, apart from the emotions stirring within the singer. The open window letting in the cold indicates the emptiness and isolation that accompanies loss.
In the chorus, the singer expresses her confusion and desperation to hear the voice of the one she misses. She questions who plays their voice to her, as it seems to come from nowhere but on the breeze. She longs to believe that it is their voice, but it's just the wind. This could be interpreted as the memories of the person being carried in the wind, reminding the singer of the love that once was.
The second verse further illustrates the singer's struggle to come to terms with the absence of the one they long for. She talks of putting the memory of them in a hidden place in her mind, hoping that as time moves on, the pain may lessen. However, the window closing each day also symbolises the memories fading and the singer's yearning becoming less intense.
Overall, Jopek Anna Maria's The Wind is a heartbreaking depiction of the pain of loss and the struggle to come to terms with it.
