Grasping at the Unseen
Grasping at Unseen Memories: A Heart's Silent Cry
Lyrics
Do you see me
Expressing a desire for acknowledgment or visibility.
Do you even recognize me
Questioning whether there is recognition or familiarity.
As I stand by your bedside
Being present near someone's sickbed.
Are you just looking through me
Suspecting a lack of genuine attention or connection.
So many questions that will never receive answers
Expressing frustration over unanswered questions.
I want to ask, but I know they'll go unanswered
Anticipating that questions will remain unaddressed.
I want to speak, let you know how much you mean to me
Expressing a desire to communicate deep feelings.
But I'm terrified of the silence that follows my cries
Feeling afraid of the quiet aftermath following emotional expression.
It's hard not knowing if you are even still in there
Expressing difficulty in determining someone's cognitive presence.
Are you aware that we are here or has that time passed
Questioning awareness and the passage of time for the person.
This disease prevents us from knowing what's on your mind
Reflecting on the impact of an illness on understanding thoughts.
All I hope is that you know you'll be remembered forever
Expressing a wish for the person to be remembered positively.
A gaze of glass, no emotions that I can perceive
Describing an empty gaze without perceivable emotions.
Those vacant eyes, once so vivid and so full of life
Contrasting current vacant eyes with past vibrancy and vitality.
Your body's right here, but I don't know where your mind is
Noting physical presence but uncertainty about mental state.
You reach up to the sky, grasping at the unseen
Metaphorically describing reaching out for the intangible.
A gaze of glass, no emotions that I can perceive
Reiteration of the emotionless gaze and its impact.
Those vacant eyes, once so vivid and so full of life
Re-emphasizing the loss of vitality in the person's eyes.
It's hard not knowing if you are even still in there
Repeating the struggle in recognizing cognitive presence.
Are you aware that we are here or has that time passed
Reiterating uncertainty about the person's awareness and time.
This disease prevents us from knowing what's on your mind
Highlighting the impact of a disease on understanding thoughts.
All I hope is that you know you'll be remembered forever
Reiterating the desire for positive remembrance.
This disease prevents us from knowing what's on your mind
Stressing the hindrance of the disease on mental clarity.
All I hope is that you know you'll be remembered forever
Repeating the hope for lasting positive memories despite limitations.
