Michael
Echoes of Loss: Bedlight's Michael Unveils the Pain of Farewell
Lyrics
Got the news the other day
Receiving recent news
A child's innocence taken away
Referring to the loss of a child's innocence
You were never scared, I'll always care
Expressing a lack of fear, with a lasting sense of care
Grandson to son and a memory we'll never lose in time
Connecting generations from grandfather to son, emphasizing an enduring memory
Am I making you proud of me?
Questioning if actions are earning approval
Cause I know you can hear me
Acknowledging a belief that the departed can hear and understand
You were too young, too fast for you to go
Expressing surprise at a premature departure
And now I don't understand why
Expressing confusion or disbelief about the situation
I can't stand to watch a mother and father cry
Distressed by witnessing the grief of parents
I look up to you
Expressing admiration and respect
Four years your younger brother calls me to always wonder why
Younger brother questioning the circumstances of the loss
If its the only way, I'll talk to you
Willingness to communicate with the departed
Home is not home
Feeling that the home is no longer the same without the departed
I swear I still see you
Perceiving the presence of the departed despite their absence
I miss you
Expressing longing and sadness
Am I making you proud of me?
Repeating the question of earning pride
Cause I know you can hear this
Reiterating the belief that the departed can hear the speaker
You were too young, too fast for you to go
Reiteration of the shock at the untimely departure
And now I don't understand why
Repeating the confusion or disbelief about the situation
I can't stand to watch a mother and father cry
Repeating the distress at witnessing parental grief
I look up to you
Reiterating admiration and respect
You were too young, too fast for you to go
Reiteration of surprise at a premature departure
And now I don't understand why
Reiteration of confusion or disbelief about the situation
I can't stand to watch a mother and father cry
Reiteration of distress at witnessing parental grief
I look up to you
Reiterating admiration and respect
You were too young, too fast for you to go
Final repetition of surprise at a premature departure
And now I don't understand why
Final repetition of confusion or disbelief about the situation
I can't stand to watch a mother and father cry
Final repetition of distress at witnessing parental grief
I look up to you
Final reiteration of admiration and respect
I look up to you
Concluding by expressing continued admiration and respect
