Days We Don't Remember
Unforgettable Echoes: Charlie Novak's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
I know the morning light
Acknowledging the challenging impact of morning light
Is hard on your eyes
Recognizing the difficulty for the person's eyes in the morning
You come to me with all your bruises
Expressing empathy as the person shares their vulnerabilities and wounds
Wipe the ash off my face
Using a metaphor of wiping ash to depict a cleansing or comforting action
Like tears that haven't dried
Comparing the act of wiping to tears that haven't dried, suggesting ongoing emotional pain
It be pretty if I said, "the stars align"
Contrasting a potential positive statement ("the stars align") with the honesty of the situation
Do you sit and think of
Prompting a reflection on moments the person might not recall
Days you don't remember
Reflecting on forgotten days and their significance
All of those days I won't forget
Emphasizing the indelible nature of certain memories
Conversations pass the time
Highlighting the role of conversations in passing time and staying in the mind
When stuck in my mind
Suggesting a lingering impact when certain thoughts are stuck in the mind
Talking sweet on your brother's bride to be
Describing sweet talk about someone's brother's future spouse
There again the morning light
Reiterating the challenge posed by morning light alongside the person's fair eyes
And your fair eyes
Highlighting the fairness of the person's eyes, drawing a comparison
Fair as mine
Comparing the fairness of the eyes to the speaker's own
All the memories behind
Referencing memories that are now behind them
Do you sit and think of
Repeating the earlier reflection on forgotten days, inviting contemplation
Days you don't remember
Reiterating the theme of days that have slipped from memory
All of those days I won't forgot
Affirming the enduring significance of those unforgettable days
