Melpomene
Kashmir Lyrics

Something tells me that I'm left without a chance
I have a feeling that I don't have any opportunity to be with her.

In my suspicious attempts to get her close
I have been trying to get close to her, but I am not sure if her intentions are genuine.

Enough to close my lips around her smile
I want to be close enough to her to feel her smile against my lips.

Now I can't close my eyes when she's around
Whenever she is present, I cannot help but keep my eyes open to admire her beauty.

And she's around
She is always present, and it feels like she's everywhere.

Passing like the wind that shapes the clouds
She is fleeting, like the wind that constantly changes and shapes the clouds.

She is around, she is around
She is always present and feels omnipresent.

I don't know how but suddenly it has been a while
Time has passed by quickly, and I don't know how it happened.

And we're been walking in through that same front door
We have been going in and out of that door for some time now.

Undressing like there were no parts to hide
We have become very comfortable with each other as if there are no parts of ourselves we need to hide.

And calling each other names we never had
We have grown intimate enough to give each other pet names that we have never had before.

You never heard
You wouldn't have heard these names before because we haven't called each other like this in front of anyone else.

And then an unexpected turn
Unexpectedly, something changed.

And we hit the curb
Suddenly everything crashed, and it hurt us both equally.

A stupid term, a fatal word
It was a small insignificant expression that became a turning point in our relationship.

Flutter girl
I am referring to her as a flutter girl because she is in a constant state of flux.

Killing me with her sunshine
She is too bright, too vibrant, and too happy that being without her kills me.

Sunshine
I see her as a source of happiness, the sun in my life.

She's so unaware
She doesn't even realize how significant she is to me.

That she's my Melpomene
She is the muse responsible for my artistic expression, and I cannot be creative without her.

You broke the code
You broke that unspoken code of how we treated each other.

Just like I'm sure you always do
This isn't the first time you've done this, and I assume it will not be the last either.

Without intentions but I know
I know that you didn't do it intentionally, but it still hurt me just the same.

That's how I broke away from you
It was the final straw that pushed me away from you.

Now that the clouds are obsolete
All the clouds of confusion and misunderstandings have cleared up.

I hope you landed on your feet
I hope you're doing well despite the pain we caused each other.

Without those evil demons
Without the pain and guilt that we caused each other.

Keeping you reminding of
I hope you have been able to let go of those reminders of our past.

The war they pulled us through
The battle we fought to stay together and make sense of our relationship.

As fragile hearts ran short of glue
Our hearts were too fragile to cope with that war we waged, and we eventually broke.

As we're both running out of time
Our time is running out, and we need to make the most of what we have left with each other.

And seek to drown the fact in wine
We might turn to alcohol to numb the pain of our relationship's inevitable end.

It should be honest and naive
Our relationship should be honest and pure, just like when we first met.

Like we should give, we should receive
We should balance our love for each other by giving and receiving equally.

I must be jaded
I'm starting to lose hope that our relationship can ever go back to how it was before.

Fading out of function into solitude
I feel like I've lost my purpose, and now I'm gradually fading into the shadows of loneliness.
