Koosje - Quiet Portrait

 
0
Copied!

{Verse 1}
Every now and then I’m falling down
I don’t feel at home when you’re not around
I’ve tried to get up and dust myself off
Wanted to speak but I didn’t make a sound

{Chorus}
What am I but a quiet portrait
A silhouette of who I used to be
No, no there’s no need to illustrate
Cos I’m the one who has to wait
Shed a tear for all us mortals
Nothing ever lasts, not even you
The road we build will crumble fast
And that night we had will never come back

{Verse 2}
Maybe I should take my own advice
But clinging to someone comes at a price
You shattеr my sleep in a blink of an eye
Now I sink deeper and deepеr in the corner of my mind

{Chorus}
What am I but a quiet portrait
A silhouette of who I used to be
No, no there’s no need to illustrate
Cos I’m the one who has to wait
Shed a tear for all us mortals
Nothing ever lasts, not even you
The road we build will crumble fast
And that night we had will never come back

The meaning of the song

"Quiet Portrait" by Koosje is a hauntingly beautiful ballad that captures the essence of loneliness and longing. The lyrics speak of feeling lost and incomplete when separated from a loved one, and the struggle to find one's voice in the silence. The chorus reflects on the transient nature of life and love, emphasizing the inevitability of change and loss. The melancholic melody and emotive vocals create a sense of vulnerability and introspection, making this song a poignant reflection on the fragility of human connection.
