Only You

Erio's song 'Only You' delves deep into the themes of longing, love, and heartache. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone looking back on a past relationship with a sense of nostalgia and yearning. The opening lines, 'Looking from a window above / It's like a story of love,' set the tone for the entire song, suggesting a distant yet poignant reflection on a love that once was. The repeated plea, 'Can you hear me?' underscores a sense of desperation and a desire to reconnect with a lost love.

The chorus, 'All I needed was the love you gave / All I needed for another day / And all I ever knew / Only you,' highlights the central theme of the song: the irreplaceable nature of the love that was lost. This love is portrayed as something essential, something that the narrator cannot move past. The repetition of 'Only you' emphasizes the exclusivity and uniqueness of this love, suggesting that no one else can fill the void left by the person they are singing about.

As the song progresses, the lyrics reveal the internal struggle of the narrator. Lines like 'It's getting harder to stay / When I see you' and 'Can't take no more / Wonder if you'll understand' convey the emotional turmoil and the difficulty of moving on. The mention of 'the touch of your hand / Behind the closed door' evokes a sense of intimacy and a longing for physical closeness that is now out of reach. The song captures the essence of a love that lingers in the heart and mind, making it hard for the narrator to let go and move forward.
