I Don't Talk to My Mother
Forgiveness and Loss: Bobby Bazini's Poignant Reflection on Family Bonds
Lyrics
I don't talk to my mother
I don't communicate with my mother.
And she don't talk to me
Our communication is mutual; she doesn't talk to me either.
Someday up in heaven
In the future, perhaps in the afterlife, there might be freedom and reconciliation.
Maybe we'll all be free
Freedom from the issues that inhibit their relationship.
It's not that I don't love her
Despite the lack of communication, there's still love, and I hope my mother understands that.
I hope she knows I do
An expression of love towards the mother despite the distance.
But ma we lost each other
We've drifted apart due to differing perspectives.
In different points of view
The relationship suffered because of their differing viewpoints.
Oh lord, forgive me
A plea for forgiveness from a higher power for the lack of communication and the strain in the relationship.
For, I don't talk to my mother
Reiterating the lack of communication with the mother.
Lord don't let me down
Repetitive plea to a higher power (God) not to abandon the singer despite their family issues.
Don't let me down
-Lord don't let me down
-Don't let me down
-Lord don't let me down
-Don't let me down
-Lord don't let me down
-Down
-I don't see my brothers
I don't maintain contact with my siblings.
All my friends are gone
All close friends are no longer present.
The cold ground is lonely
Loneliness is intensified when facing challenges without support.
When you fall all alone
Struggling alone is difficult.
This world is filled with answers
There are solutions available, but some choose their own path.
But some choose to make up their own
People create their truths and families can be found beyond blood relations.
They say family is everything
A common belief is that family holds utmost importance, but the singer found solace elsewhere.
I found truth in another home
Discovered a sense of belonging outside the conventional family.
Oh lord, forgive me
Asking for forgiveness for not being in touch with siblings.
For I don't see my brothers
Reiteration of the lack of contact with siblings.
Lord don't let me down
Continued plea to a higher power not to abandon the singer despite their familial disconnect.
Don't let me down
-Lord don't let me down
-Don't let me down
-Lord don't let me down
-Don't let me down
-Lord don't let me down
-Ahh
-Don't let me down!
Repetitive plea to not be forsaken by a higher power despite familial estrangement.
Don't let me down
-Oooh
-Oh, oh
-Oh don't let me down
-I don't see my father
Lack of connection with the father figure.
Don't think I ever could
Expresses skepticism about ever reconciling with the father.
Oh lord, forgive him
Praying for forgiveness for both self and father due to the strained relationship.
Oh lord, forgive me too
