When I'm Gone
Unveiling Existential Questions: When Absence Echoes
Lyrics
Another question
Contemplating another question or uncertainty.
Hangs in midair.
That question lingers without a clear resolution.
There's an answer,
A belief in an existing answer, albeit not yet found.
I know it's out there.
An assurance that the answer is within reach.
Will anyone be aware
Concern about being unnoticed or unacknowledged.
When confetti falls on my empty chair?
Wondering if others will recognize absence amidst celebration.
Like a one, two punch,
Comparing a sudden blow to a surprise attack.
A surprise attack come at dawn.
An unexpected event happening at daybreak.
Will they miss me when I'm gone?
Questioning if there will be a longing for presence when departed.
Everyday,
Highlighting the routine of daily existence.
The search seems necessary.
Feeling the need to constantly seek something.
A final play,
A final, crucial effort akin to a last-ditch attempt.
A desperate hail mary.
A desperate or improbable move.
There's so many things that I may have missed.
Regret about potential missed experiences or opportunities.
I hope the answer is as simple as this.
Wishing for a straightforward answer or resolution.
Will my friends be brave
Questioning the bravery of friends in absence.
'Till someone plays my favorite song?
Wondering if someone will evoke memories through a song.
Will they miss me when I'm gone?
Repeating the concern about being missed after departing.
Take a minute from their lives one by one,
Asking if others will take time to recall specific moments.
And remember everything I had done?
Reflecting on the desire for a comprehensive remembrance.
And everything I'd been?
Questioning if the world will acknowledge one's essence.
Or will the world just spin on and on?
Doubting if life will continue unaffected by absence.
Will they miss me when I'm gone?
Reiterating the uncertainty about being missed.
