Sorrow
SandMarx Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your presence's a mistake
Though I wish I'd never wake
The guilt in my heart gonna cause it break
How could we be so right
And time be so wrong
To rob me too soon
I'm still searching for you by my side
It's like an eternal quest
But I will feel you by my side
When it's time
You can never hide
I met sorrow
Back home by the entrance door
I knew she would come and what for
X2
I know it frightens me this unknown
Although it frightens me this unknown
I guess we all have to lose
To know what it's like to win
We all have to lose
To see what it's like to be livin'
Oh livin'
I'm still searching for you by my side
It's like an eternal quest
But I will feel you by my side
When it's time
You can never hide
I met sorrow
Back home by the entrance door
I knew she would come and what for
X2
'cause you're gone
And everything just reminds me
Of the day when your time went fast
And too slow went mine
It's killing me the pain knowing I
Didn't reach you in time
'cause you're gone
And everything just remindes me
Of the day when your time went fast
And too slow went mine
It's killing me the pain knowing I
Didn't reach you in time
It's killing me the pain knowing I
Didn't reach you in time
It's killing me the pain that I
Didn't make it to say goodbye
The lyrics of SandMarx's song Sorrow express the grief and guilt of losing someone too soon. The singer regrets not being able to reach the person in time, to say goodbye. The presence of the person who left feels like a mistake, and the guilt in their heart is breaking them apart. The pain is so deep that even the memory of the person who passed away haunts them continuously. They are still searching for the departed one, like an eternal quest, but they also realize that the true closure will come with time. They believe that they will feel the person by their side again, but only when the time is right, and they can no longer hide.
The lyrics portray the struggle to come to terms with the loss, the inevitability of grief, and the understanding that we all have to lose to know what it's like to win. Losing someone we love is painful, but it also teaches us to appreciate life and cherish the moments we have with the people we love.
Overall, the lyrics of Sorrow convey a powerful message of love, loss, and acceptance. The song reminds us that even in our darkest moments, we can find solace in the memories of the ones we have lost, and that time is the greatest healer of all.
