Cordelia
My Life As Ali Thomas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I don't know where you are hiding
I saw you once your face a tint of gold
I'm kickin' up a dust storm
Diggin' up a love lost
Do you know if I'm still chasing ghost
Cordelia
Cordelia
Why have you gone
Gone without trace
Oh I'm still holding on
I see myself standing in the dark
Repeating myself just what I did wrong
I was selfish I know
But you were so cold
It creeps up creeps up
Ah I should have never let you go
I should have never let you go
Cordelia
Cordelia
Oh I'm still holding on
Why have you gone
Gone without trace
Oh I'm still holding on
Cordelia
Cordelia
Oh I'm still holding on
Why have you gone
Gone without trace
Oh I'm still holding on
I wear my best dress
Sun and moon dress
Skin my best dress
Heart my best dress
Oh little red dress won't you show me what it's like
To pull you under this haze
And lock you deep inside my chest
Let it run through your veins
Like this poison I can't explain
I can't explain
To love and to hold you
Oh these feelings trapped inside my soul
Will ya ever know
Will ya ever know
Cordelia
Cordelia
Oh I'm still holding on
Why have you gone
Gone without trace
Oh I'm still holding on
The song "Cordelia" by My Life As Ali Thomas is a heart-wrenching tale of a person who is struggling to move on from a lost love named Cordelia. The song opens with the singer waking up to greet the sun, but feeling lost and uncertain about Cordelia's whereabouts. The singer reminisces about seeing Cordelia once, with her face tinted in gold, and now, they are kicking up a dust storm and digging up love lost while continuing to chase ghosts.
The chorus of the song repeatedly mentions Cordelia, implying that the singer is still holding on to the memories of this lost love. The singer blames themselves for being selfish and letting Cordelia go. However, they cannot shake off the feeling that Cordelia was equally cold towards them. The singer finds themselves standing in the dark, repeating what they did wrong and desperately trying to understand why Cordelia left without a trace.
The bridge of the song sees the singer describing their best dress and how it represents their desire to love and hold Cordelia. The dress becomes a symbol of their longing and desire to pull Cordelia under the haze and lock her deep inside their chest, where they will always keep her. However, the singer knows they cannot force Cordelia to feel the same way and wonders if their feelings will ever be reciprocated.

Waking up to greet the sun
Starting a new day, hoping for a fresh beginning
But I don't know where you are hiding
Feeling lost and uncertain, unable to locate someone important
I saw you once your face a tint of gold
Recalling a past memory of seeing someone glowing with happiness and warmth
I'm kickin' up a dust storm
Creating a commotion, stirring up emotions and thoughts
Diggin' up a love lost
Trying to reconnect with a partner who has been absent or distant
Do you know if I'm still chasing ghost
Questioning whether the efforts of finding love are futile and hopeless
Cordelia
Calling out the name of the missing lover
Oh I'm still holding on
Refusing to give up on love and the person who is gone
Why have you gone
Expressing confusion and hurt about the partner's disappearance
Gone without trace
Feeling like the partner has vanished without any explanation or clues
I see myself standing in the dark
Feeling lost and alone, without clear direction or illumination
Repeating myself just what I did wrong
Analyzing past mistakes and trying to understand where things went off-course
I was selfish I know
Admitting to wrongdoing and acknowledging that one's actions hurt the partner
But you were so cold
Recognizing the partner's aloofness and seeming disinterest
It creeps up creeps up
Feeling a sense of dread and unease that intensifies over time
Ah I should have never let you go
Regretting the decision to end the relationship
I wear my best dress
Putting on a brave face, trying to appear confident and put-together
Sun and moon dress
Wearing something symbolic of light and dark, perhaps signifying mixed emotions
Skin my best dress
Feeling exposed and vulnerable, but trying to present oneself in the best possible light
Heart my best dress
Putting forth one's best effort to convey love and affection
Oh little red dress won't you show me what it's like
Asking for guidance and help in understanding the complexities of love
To pull you under this haze
Wanting to immerse oneself in the emotional fog of love
And lock you deep inside my chest
Desiring to keep the partner close and to hold onto the relationship indefinitely
Let it run through your veins
Hoping that the intensity of love will be felt by the partner and will bind them together forever
Like this poison I can't explain
Feeling like love is intoxicating and overwhelming but not quite understanding why
To love and to hold you
Desperately craving closeness and physical intimacy
Oh these feelings trapped inside my soul
Feeling like emotions are overwhelming and inescapable
Will ya ever know
Questioning whether the partner will ever truly understand the depth of one's feelings

@PaYeon
ฟังทีแรก แบบไม่รู้อะไรเลย คิดว่าต่างชาติแน่นอน ซาวน์ เสียงร้อง เอ็มวี
มันแตกต่างจากวงไทยหลายๆวง ที่เคยทำผลงานออกมาให้เป็นภาษาอังกฤษ
ที่เคยฟังมาครับ ผมยกนิ้วกับมาตราฐานของค่ายและวงนี้ครับ มาตราฐานสากลจริงๆ
@user-rg9sz6en9q
ตามมาจากโฆษณาควอนตั้ม ชอบเพลงมากค่ะ รู้สึกขนลุก
@aoutsakmk
ชอบเพลงนี้มากกก ฟังตั้งแต่ตอนอายุ11😅
ตอนนี้17แล้วยังฟังทุกวัน🥰💗💗
@kaskyable
โคตรของโคตรดี ชอบฟังเพลงแนวนี้อยู่แล้ว
ยิ่งพอรู้ว่าเป็นคนไทยนี่กรี๊ดเลยครับ สนับสนุนแน่นอน
เพลงดี โปรดักชั่นดี
@avapkty
รบกวนบอกทีค่ะดนตรีแนวนี้เรียกว่าอะไร
@nitipat1980
Indie Folkครับ รู้สึกนะเห็นหลายคนเรียกกันแบบนี้
@kaskyable
ตามนั้นละครับ แต่ด้วยความที่มันเป็น indie มันจึงไม่มีอะไรที่เป็นหลักตายตัว หมายความว่าเพลงแนวนี้เองก็ยังมีข้อแตกต่างในตัวของมัน ตามแต่ศิลปินครับ อย่างวงนี้ให้กลิ่นอายสมัยใหม่เยอะ (คือจังหวะทำนองเขา modernเลยครับ ) แนะนำให้ลองเสิชเพลง indie folk ฟังดูครับ หรือจะลอง celtic folk celtic rock , folk rock ด้วยก็ดีครับ ดีๆทั้งน้าน
@avapkty
+kaskyable คิดว่าแนวนี้เหมือนค่ะ แต่ผสมผสานเยอะแยะมาก 5555
@MyLifeAsAliThomasTV
