Time's Embrace: Navigating Loss and Memories in Anthea Cheng's 'Lilies'
Lyrics
Give me some time
Request for time
Stay for a while
Request for companionship
Even in my dreams come show me how
Desire for guidance even in dreams
One fateful moment
Highlighting a significant moment
To change into condolence
Transformation into sorrow
I knew that I had to push on through
Determination to persevere
But all I could do was just cry
Expression of emotional struggle
A week-long trip down to memory lane
Reflecting on the past
Guilt enough to drive me insane
Feeling guilt and distress
I knew that I had to push on through
Reiteration of determination
But all I could do was just cry
Reiteration of emotional struggle
Give me some time
Repeat of the request for time
Please don't go
Plea not to leave
Take me by the hand and show me why
Desire for guidance and understanding
Why you're not here why we're left here all alone
Questioning absence and loneliness
Give me some time
Repetition of the request for time
Stay for a while
Reiteration of the request for companionship
Even in my dreams come show me how
Reiteration of the desire for guidance
How are we supposed to rise and move on
Questioning the ability to move on
When I see the lilies
Mention of lilies triggering memories
Memories start to kill me
Impact of memories on emotions
Who knew that then was the last of you
Realization of the finality of a moment
Now I ponder the answers too
Pondering unanswered questions
Give me some time
Repetition of the request for time
Please don't go
Repetition of the plea not to leave
Take me by the hand and show me why
Reiteration of the desire for guidance
Why you're not here why we're left here all alone
Reiteration of questioning absence and loneliness
Give me some time
Repetition of the request for time
Stay for a while
Reiteration of the request for companionship
Even in my dreams come show me how
Reiteration of the desire for guidance
How are we supposed to rise and move on
Reiteration of questioning the ability to move on
Give me some time
Repetition of the request for time
Leave me alone
Request for solitude
I just need some time to realize
Need for realization and acceptance
That they're not here and we're left here all alone
Acknowledgment of absence and loneliness
Give me some time
Repetition of the request for time
It's been a while
Expression of the passage of time
Even as the months still pass on by
Reflection on ongoing learning process
We're still learning how to move on
Continued journey of moving on
