Echoes of Faith and Loss: Brave Saint Saturn's Poignant Reflections
Lyrics
I write clever words on paper,
I express my thoughts skillfully through written words.
I sometimes think I don't believe at all.
I sometimes question my belief or lack thereof.
I've never felt so fake,
I've never felt so inauthentic.
So false, I'm such a lie,
I feel like a complete falsehood, a lie.
I couldn't even look him in the eyes.
I couldn't face someone honestly, possibly due to guilt or shame.
He was twenty-five like I was,
A person of the same age, but facing severe physical challenges.
But he was deaf and slowly going blind.
He was losing both hearing and eyesight.
He made my faith seem worthless,
His struggles made my faith feel insignificant.
The things I hoped were pointless.
The things I hoped for seemed pointless in comparison.
And he fought to stay,
He fought to survive despite difficulties.
But always dreamed that he could leave this place.
Yet, he dreamt of escaping the challenges he faced.
The angels wings,
Reference to angelic protection and comfort.
Will cover you tonight,
Assurance that angels will provide comfort during difficult times.
Hallelujah.
Celebration or praise; expressing joy or relief.
Press your head,
Symbolic gesture of seeking solace in Christ's embrace.
Against the breast of Christ.
Celebration or praise; expressing joy or relief.
Hallelujah.
It made me feel so empty,
A sense of emptiness and despair.
Collapsing on some dirty bathroom floor.
Experiencing a breakdown in a physically unclean place.
And isn't it just like me,
Reflecting on mourning someone who is now at peace.
To mourn his passing breath,
Expressing grief for a person's last breath.
When he will never suffer any more?
Recognition that the person is no longer suffering.
Beautiful his pictures,
Complimenting the beauty of the person's photos.
Fading black and silver.
Describing the fading quality of the images.
And I sing of faith,
Expressing faith through singing.
But his was true, and fierce and I will miss him.
Admiring the deceased's genuine and intense faith.
The angel's wings,
Will cover you tonight,
-Hallelujah.
-Press your head,
-Against the breast of Christ.
-Hallelujah.
