Missing you

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

all stations
Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am
I've lost all sense of direction
Watching the darkness closing around me
Feeling the cold all through my body
That's why I'm calling all stations
In the hope that someone hears me
A single lonely voice

I feel the sensation disappearing
There's a tingling in my arms
And there's a numbness in my hands

All the broken promises
All my good intentions don't add up to very much
And I realise whatever happened, whatever happened
I remember all the moments that I've wasted in my life
All the things I was always gonna do
Why is it now when it's too late
That I've finally realised it's important to me
To think that everything that's dear to me
And is always in my heart
Could so easily be taken
And it's tearing me apart
Going over and over in my mind
I relive it one second at a time

Calling all stations
Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am
How different things look when your all on your own
Watching the darkness closing all around me
All around me
And I'm lost with feeling
Of your arms to remind me
Of everything that's dear to me
And is always in my heart
Could so easily be taken
And it's tearing me apart
Going over and over in my mind
I relive it one second at a time
Don't you know there's never been a moment
When I haven't had the thought
That everything that's dear to me
And is always in my heart
Could so easily be taken
And it's tearing me apart
Going over and over in my mind
I relive it one second at a time
As I sit here in the darkness
Feeling so alone




And everything that's dear to me
And is always in my heart...

Overall Meaning

The song "Missing You" is a soulful expression of loneliness and loss of direction. The opening lines set the tone for the entire song. The singer says, "Can anybody tell me, tell me exactly where I am? I’ve lost all sense of direction. Watching the darkness closing around me." This evokes a sense of helplessness, as if the singer is lost in a dark forest with no idea of how to get out. The lyrics suggest that the singer is calling out to anyone who can hear him, to help him find his way. The use of the words "all stations" indicates that he is looking for help from anyone who is listening.


The singer then goes on to talk about his regrets and wasted time, "All the broken promises, all my good intentions don't add up to very much. And I realize whatever happened, whatever happened, I remember all the moments that I've wasted in my life, all the things I was always gonna do. Why is it now when it's too late that I've finally realized it's important to me?" This reflects a sense of regret and the realization that he has not done everything he wanted to do in life. The use of the phrase "it's tearing me apart" shows how this realization is causing him emotional discomfort.


The last part of the song is the singer's final plea for help. He says, "Don't you know there's never been a moment when I haven't had the thought that everything that's dear to me and is always in my heart could so easily be taken. And it's tearing me apart." This reinforces his earlier message that he is in a place of darkness and needs help. In conclusion, the song is a powerful expression of the fragility of human emotions and the importance of connection with others.

Lyrics: Missing you

Missing You



baby, you seem to be so cold

about things

with us.



Have you ever cared

and have you ever dared

to love

someone



look at my face and you'll know,

that I would never have let you go.



Yes it's true

that I'm missing you

and I've cried.



I'm confused,

do you have a reply?



Baby, I know

and understand

that we can't go on...



but did you really try,

please don't tell me a lie

to shelter me.



Look at my face and you'll know

that I

would never have let you go.



And it's true,

that I'm missing you.

I just cry

(missing you, missing you)



I'm confused

I don't know your reply.



I miss you
