Erin
Josh Rennie-Hynes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now everything has come undone
Parts of us that we once loved where have they gone
Moments left to pass through time
I'd take you back if i has a dime
Just wishing i could walk these lines
Where have they gone
The lyrics of Josh Rennie-Hynes's song "Erin" is somewhat melancholic as it speaks of the loss of something or someone dear. The first line of the song goes, "Waking to a pretty sun" which is quite contradicting because waking up to a pretty sunrise should bring a sense of joy and hope for a new day. However, the succeeding line says "Now everything has come undone" which suggests otherwise. It implies that something must have gone wrong and shattered the expectations of what was once seen as hope.
The following lines, "Parts of us that we once loved, where have they gone" paint a picture of missing and longing, perhaps for something or someone that used to be a source of happiness. The succeeding lyrics, "Moments left to pass through time, I'd take you back if I had a dime" further emphasized the feeling of lost opportunities and separation. The chorus's repetition of "Where have they gone" intensifies the ache of not knowing where things disappeared to.
Finally, the lyrics "Laying in my bed through the day just wishing it would only rain" give the impression of hopelessness and despair, a feeling of wanting to just disappear and be consumed by the rain, as if to seek refuge from all the pain and sadness.
