Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I barely remember her smile
I'll turn my back on this world
I barely remember her lips
I barely remember her tongue
I'll turn my back on this world
She was the rain, she was the wind, she was my lover
She was the nights, she was the days, she was my lover
She was , she was everything to me

I barely remember her eyes
Her gaze is fading from my memory
I barely remember her smile
Her joyful expression is becoming hazy in my mind
I'll turn my back on this world
I will detach myself from the distractions of the outside world
I barely remember her lips
The sensation of her kiss is fading away from my recollection
I barely remember her tongue
The taste of her in my mouth is slipping away from my thoughts
I'll turn my back on this world
I will disconnect myself from the worldly attachments
She was the sun, she was the moon, she was my lover
She had a radiant and mesmerizing presence in my life
She was the rain, she was the wind, she was my lover
She brought both tranquility and storminess to my existence
She was the nights, she was the days, she was my lover
She filled my time with both darkness and light
She was , she was everything to me
She was my ultimate source of meaning and completeness
