Hope There's a Heaven
Eternal Questions and Unspoken Hopes in Circa Waves' Melody
Lyrics
Why'd you have to go?
Expressing sorrow or questioning the departure of someone.
I swear the best is yet to come
Optimistically anticipating a better future despite the current circumstances.
Why'd you have to go?
Reiteration of the emotional impact of the person's departure.
The doctor gave you weeks or months
Referencing a medical prognosis, suggesting a limited time left for the person.
I paint a picture of you in my mind
Creating a mental image of the departed person.
Were you like me as a child?
Wondering if the person shared similarities during childhood.
I paint a picture of you in my mind
Repetition of the visualization process, emphasizing the significance of memories.
Were you like me as a child?
Continuation of the exploration of shared childhood experiences.
And there's a part of me
Expressing a conflicted feeling about the afterlife.
That hope's there's a heaven
Expressing a desire or expectation for the existence of heaven.
Yeah there's a part of me
Repetition of the hope for an afterlife, suggesting emotional attachment.
That still believes
Affirmation of the enduring belief in something beyond life.
Maybe I'm falling by the wayside
Suggesting a personal struggle or setback.
Maybe I'm falling back in time
Reflecting on a potential regression or revisiting past experiences.
Maybe I'm waiting for the moment
Contemplating a moment of significance or revelation.
Where you find a life line
Searching for a lifeline or guidance in challenging circumstances.
Maybe I'm falling by the wayside
Repetition of the theme of personal struggle or regression.
Maybe I'm falling back in time
Reiteration of the idea of falling back in time, suggesting introspection.
Maybe I'm waiting for the moment
Continuation of the search for a moment of clarity or guidance.
Where you find a life line
Reinforcing the desire for a lifeline in challenging situations.
Maybe I'm falling by the wayside
Repetition of the idea of personal struggle and potential self-reflection.
So why'd you have to go?
Reiterating the emotional impact of the person's departure.
I'm not done with you yet
Expressing an unfinished connection or relationship with the departed person.
And yeah I hope you know
Affirming the lasting impact of the departed person's words or influence.
I won't forget a word you said
Pledging to remember and hold onto the words spoken by the departed.
Yeah you said listen to Tom Waits
Recalling advice or influence from the departed, referencing Tom Waits.
Come on up to this house
Quoting advice from the departed to listen to Tom Waits.
Yeah so I listen to Tom Waits
Complying with the advice and trying to live in the present.
Trying to live in the now
Struggling to embrace the present, possibly due to grief or difficulty.
And there's a part of me
Reiteration of the conflicted feeling about the afterlife.
That hope's there's a heaven
Expressing a desire or expectation for the existence of heaven.
Yeah there's a part of me
Repetition of the hope for an afterlife, emphasizing emotional attachment.
That still believes
Affirmation of the enduring belief in something beyond life.
Maybe I'm falling by the wayside
Suggesting a personal struggle or setback, similar to earlier lines.
Maybe I'm falling back in time
Reflecting on a potential regression or revisiting past experiences.
Maybe I'm waiting for the moment
Contemplating a moment of significance or revelation.
Where you find a life line
Searching for a lifeline or guidance in challenging circumstances.
Maybe I'm falling by the wayside
Repetition of the theme of personal struggle or regression.
Maybe I'm falling back in time
Reiteration of the idea of falling back in time, suggesting introspection.
Maybe I'm waiting for the moment
Continuation of the search for a moment of clarity or guidance.
Where you find a life line
Reinforcing the desire for a lifeline in challenging situations.
Maybe I'm falling by the wayside
Repetition of the idea of personal struggle and potential self-reflection.
