A Promise
Eternal Love's Promise: Embracing Beyond Time
Lyrics
On this hill top
Reflecting on a specific location, possibly a hilltop, setting the scene for the narrative.
I buried you
The speaker metaphorically buried someone on the hilltop, indicating a past event of laying someone to rest.
As a younger man
The speaker recalls this event when they were younger.
We gathered 'round
People gathered around the deceased person.
Your empty husk
Refers to the physical remains or body of the deceased as an empty shell.
And spoke of how you were so loved
The group discussed the deceased's love and impact.
And as the sun died
The setting of the sun symbolizes an ending, possibly indicating a promise made at the end of the day.
I promised that I'd seek you out
The speaker pledged to find or reunite with the deceased when they pass away.
Well now the years have weathered me
The passage of time has aged the speaker.
And soon I'll claim you for my arms again
The speaker anticipates rejoining the buried person in death soon.
And if our hearts all disappear
Reflecting on the possible disappearance of emotions or love.
And if our bones, they crumble to the soil
Contemplating the physical decay of the body into the earth.
Well all our love will rise again
Despite the decay and disappearance, love is believed to endure and return.
And if our hearts all disappear
Reiterating the potential fading of emotions or love.
And if our bones, they crumble to the soil
Reiterating the body's decay into the soil.
And all our love will rise again
Belief that love will revive despite physical deterioration.
And we'll float to the sea
Imagery of floating towards the sea, possibly symbolizing a journey or transition after death.
And if our hearts all disappear
Repeating the idea of emotional disappearance.
And if our bones, they crumble to the soil
Repeating the concept of physical decay.
And all our love will rise again
Reiterating the belief in the resurgence of love despite the body's decay.
And we'll float to the sea
Imagery of journeying towards the sea, continuing the metaphorical transition after death.
