Lyrics

Estate sale sign

Encounter with a sign advertising an estate sale

Caught my eye

The sign captured the observer's attention

I went inside

The observer entered the estate sale location

I didn’t know you

Not acquainted with the person being referred to

I hope a piece of all of us is carried on

Expressing a desire for a part of everyone to endure

Like the tune to a song

Comparison of enduring qualities to a musical tune

One that goes on and on

Highlighting the perpetual nature of the mentioned tune

You’ve got me thinking

The experience prompts contemplation

About what I’m leaving

Reflection on what will be left behind

When they don’t know me

The impact when others are unfamiliar with the individual

Mmmmmmm

Expression of contemplation or realization

Driving around

Driving through the city center

Downtown

Specifically, in the downtown area

People walking by

Observation of people passing by

Everyone is going to die

Reflection on the inevitability of mortality

Maybe you can live forever

Suggestion of achieving a form of immortality through memory

In the minds of those

Living on in the thoughts of those who remember

Who remember

Emphasizing the significance of memory

You’ve got me thinking

Continued contemplation on what will endure

About what I’m leaving

Reflecting on the legacy left behind

When they don’t know me

Impact on those who are unfamiliar with the individual

Mmmmmmm

Expression of contemplation or realization

I didn’t know

Repetition of "I didn't know" suggesting a lack of awareness or understanding

I didn’t know

-

I didn’t know

-

I didn’t know

-

I didn’t know

-

I didn’t know

-

I didn’t know

-

Mmmmmmm

-

Mmmmmmm

Continuation of contemplative sounds, possibly representing introspection

Mmmmmmm
