Analysis of Rediscover
Antonio Soler 1986 (New York)
When it is gone; who can bring it back
Something that was so active, yet remains in the past
Lovers. Where have you gone?
Lovers. Are the pleasures now reduced to a yawn?
Gun in hand but the gun does not kill
The owners who have forgotten of the thrills
Oh my.. How apart they have grown
Time. The devious killer has set the tone
Long-established are the minds that once never dare to hide with every blink a memory is erased, turning hellos more to goodbyes.
In this story lovers do move on, once so spacious now so tight.
Maybe a new figure is there to save you and make things right
Or perhaps these lovers love temporary lovers
If absent; a few lonesome days to recover
Time is cruel for being so short, in this case all is right
As long as your heart does not divide from mind and alone it takes flight.
