To Carry You Away
Eternal Waves: Navigating Loss and Love
Lyrics
Who we are I'll never know
Expressing uncertainty about understanding one's true identity.
But when we spoke I knew you well
Despite the mystery, a strong connection is felt during communication.
You knew me well
Mutual understanding between individuals.
You loved me through and through
Deep and unconditional love from the person being addressed.
I never thought I would watch you leave us
Expressing disbelief or shock at witnessing the departure of someone dear.
From a room as a kid I held so close
Recalling a childhood room that held sentimental value.
I was a son made upon sand
Metaphorically describing oneself as a fragile creation on unstable ground.
You were the wind that let me go
Acknowledging the influence of the departed person, like the wind guiding.
I'll say goodbye
An explicit farewell.
So this is goodbye
Reiterating the farewell and acceptance of parting.
But I'm afraid to speak
Expressing difficulty in verbalizing emotions.
So with words I'll tell the story
Choosing to convey emotions through a narrative or story.
You meant so much to me
Emphasizing the significant impact of the departed person.
And like the night upon nights to come
Comparing the enduring memory to recurring nights.
I will dream of you
Expressing the intention to continue dreaming about the departed.
And know that I will see you seen
Anticipating a connection even after physical separation.
Give me the strength to carry on
Pleading for inner strength to cope with the loss.
Tide
Introduction of a metaphor related to the ocean tide.
You are the ocean tide
Addressing the departed as a force of nature, specifically the tide.
The swells swept you away
Describing the departure as a forceful and inevitable event.
I was a son made of sand
Reiteration of fragility using the metaphor of being made of sand.
You were the wind that let me go
Reaffirming the guiding role of the departed, akin to the wind.
When the ocean tide has risen to high
Describing a metaphorical high tide, possibly representing difficult times.
And the waters have come to carry you away
Imagining the departure being carried away by overwhelming circumstances.
Remember I will always be there to sing you to sleep
Committing to everlasting presence in memory, offering comfort.
