Gentle Wings
Echoes of Unspoken Loss
Lyrics
Brittle fingers reach out to grasp
Expressing a fragile attempt to reach for something.
What cannot be seen against the dark
Attempting to grasp something unseen in the darkness.
No ruin or reason will keep us apart
Belief that no destruction or rationale can separate.
These pages were written on loose scraps
Pages written on loose scraps suggest a disjointed narrative.
Searching for a conclusion
Searching for a resolution or conclusion.
To bring this end to an end
Desiring to bring an end to a situation.
Caught alone again with these thoughts
Feeling isolated with recurring thoughts.
Maybe this time it won't be so bad
Hopeful that solitude won't be as negative this time.
Anesthetize impure reasons
Suggesting a need to numb impure motivations.
Rightfully arguing against this cycle
Arguing against a repetitive cycle with rightful reasons.
Nine three one
Repetition of "Nine three one" possibly indicating a recurring pattern or struggle.
It's always the same
-Nine three one
-Never going to change
-Memory refers to our ability to hold in real life the features and feelings that made up the essence of a person who has already died. the memory of a deceased person lives for as long and fully as they're close people carefully remember. this seemingly clear banality is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. people begin to forget right away, as soon as the life leaves the body. and only a constant, every minute mental effort, requiring the most careful concentration of attention, memory and imagination allows you to keep the departed among the living, as if they were still with us. a wall of glass swallowing itself into a myriad of broken reflections that I cannot repair
Reflection on the complexity of preserving memories after death, emphasizing the challenge of maintaining vivid recollections.
I am never going to know
Expressing uncertainty and difficulty in understanding oneself.
I am never going to learn
-How to be myself
-Or what that even is
-Searching for another conclusion
Continuing the search for a resolution amid ashes and desperation.
In the ashes desperate measures
Exploring the remnants of past communication and seeking meaning in the letters.
In the embers of the letters
-That you wrote to me
-Searching for the loss we have had to face
Reflecting on the loss faced and bidding farewell.
I draw back my hands and say goodnight
-Pillars of lies built this home
Describing a home built on falsehoods.
Undeserving nights
Nights that are not deserved, possibly indicating a sense of unworthiness.
I lay sleepless with question
Enduring sleepless moments filled with questions.
Are you happy, can you be
Asking if happiness is achievable without compromising values and dignity.
Without you sacrificing your values and dignity
Suggesting a cold and true answer to the previous question.
The answer is cold but true
Describing a state of being frozen with fear.
You are frozen with fear
Concluding with unnerving recollections and an atmosphere of discomfort.
And unnerving recollections
