Died a Little Today
Echoes of Quiet Suffering: Died a Little Today by Alejandro Escovedo
Lyrics
I died a little today
I experienced a significant emotional or personal setback today.
You put up a fight
You resisted or opposed something.
A carved a simple hello
I crafted a simple greeting or expression of acknowledgment.
You can hold to the light
This greeting can be scrutinized or examined closely.
So no one will know
To keep it hidden from others.
We died a little today
Both of us experienced a significant emotional or personal setback today.
Gonna learn how to give
I am going to learn how to give, not just to survive.
Not to simply get by
The intention is not merely to get through a situation.
Or to barely hang on
Not just hanging on by a thread for the purpose of saying goodbye.
For the sake of goodbye
This is done to avoid parting ways.
Baby maybe you'll know
Perhaps, you will understand.
We died a little today
Both of us experienced a significant emotional or personal setback today.
We died a little today
Reiteration of the shared experience of setback.
We died a little
We both experienced a bit of emotional or personal decline.
It's a strange way we live
Our way of living is peculiar or unusual.
To have been her before
We have been in this situation before.
And leave nothing behind
Despite our past experiences, we are leaving nothing behind.
As we move towards the door
As we move towards an exit or conclusion.
No, there's no one to blame
No one is at fault.
We died a little today
Both of us experienced a significant emotional or personal setback today.
We died a little today
Reiteration of the shared experience of setback.
We died a little
We both experienced a bit of emotional or personal decline.
