100 Years
Echoes of a Hundred Years: Love, Loss, and Redemption
Lyrics
And all you left is a box of tools and a few ideas to fix me with
Reflecting on what remains after a relationship, represented by a box of tools and ideas to fix the speaker.
I don't know how to use them yet
Expressing uncertainty and lack of knowledge in utilizing the tools and ideas provided.
And now I watch you slip away
Observing the gradual departure of someone significant.
Leaving no harm in your wake
Not causing harm or negative consequences while leaving.
And you might as well be 1000 miles away
Feeling emotionally distant, as if the person might as well be physically far away.
It feels like 100 years since we met
Sensing a prolonged passage of time since the initial meeting.
If a teenage son could take back all the pain inside your head
Imagining the hypothetical scenario of a teenage son wishing to alleviate the emotional pain experienced by the speaker.
An old house, a small space, the love on an alcoholic's face
Describing the setting with an old house, a limited space, and the complex love associated with an alcoholic.
I tried to live this out the best I could for you
Attempting to live life in a way that honors the person who left.
But all you left is a box of tools and a few ideas to fix me with
Reiteration of the tools and ideas left behind for the speaker.
I don't know how to use them yet
Continued uncertainty about how to effectively use the provided tools and ideas.
And now I watch you slip away
Witnessing the gradual departure of the significant person without causing harm.
Leaving no harm in your wake
Emphasizing the absence of negative consequences in the wake of the departure.
It feels like 100 years since we met
Reiteration of the prolonged sense of time passing since the initial meeting.
If a teenage son could take back all the pain inside your head
Continuation of the hypothetical scenario involving a teenage son and the desire to alleviate emotional pain.
And the first time I heard your name was like a chorus in my heart
Recalling the emotional impact of hearing the person's name for the first time.
And the first time that I saw you, yeah , it was the first day of my life
Highlighting the significance of the first encounter with the person as a transformative moment.
It feels like 100 years since we met
Reiteration of the prolonged sense of time passing since the initial meeting.
If a teenage son could take back all the pain inside your head
Continuation of the hypothetical scenario involving a teenage son and the desire to alleviate emotional pain.
And the first time i heard you name was like a chorus in my heart
Repeating the emotional impact of hearing the person's name for the first time.
And the first time i saw you, yeah , it was the first day of my life
Reemphasizing the significance of the first encounter with the person as the first day of the speaker's life.
