Emilíana Torrini – Heartstopper Lyrics 16 years ago
Well, I see it as about a lover who has died. The first verse has her remembering things he said to her, but it seems that others are noticing her think about it. She is sitting and drinking coffee, thinking, but also just sitting and existing (some of you know what I mean). It seems apparent that others know of her sadness, as indicated by the coffee on the house, and the neighbor later. She even visits his house, but of course there is no hope in that. Even still, she stands there for an hour. The only thing I am not sure of is "lost my keys in front o me." I am guessing that she means was about to use her keys at the door of her place, but then got lost in thought or sadness. The neighbor is being supportive, but she feels dead again (my heart stops beating), knowing what is gone.
