Lyrics
It's easier to just move on
Expressing the difficulty of moving forward.
From a plan you think is too far gone
Choosing to distance oneself from a seemingly unreachable plan.
It's easier to just move on
Reiteration of the challenge of moving on.
From a plan you think is too far gone
Repeating the theme of distancing from a perceived unattainable plan.
It's easier to just move on
Emphasizing the ongoing struggle to move forward.
From a plan you think is too far gone
Continuation of the idea of abandoning a seemingly unachievable plan.
So here, I stand, trying to fill the space in the household that was left
Standing in the gap left by an absent figure in the family.
And you said, you'd do anything to be a family again
Recalling a promise to do anything to restore family unity.
To be a family again
Desire to become a family again.
It comes in waves, the grief persists
Describing the persistence of grief in waves.
The anthem to the fatherless
Labeling the grief as the anthem for those without fathers.
We'd like to hear you call our name
Yearning to hear acknowledgment through the calling of names.
To feel we aren't forgotten, to know we're more than nothing
Seeking assurance of not being forgotten and being valued.
We've been trying to find the answers, to know what we did wrong
Expressing the quest for understanding and acknowledgment of perceived wrongdoings.
We'd give anything, just to be a part of your song
Willing to sacrifice anything to be included in a familial narrative.
We'll cover our eyes, hold our breath and count to ten
Symbolic act of avoiding reality, hoping for a positive change.
Just waiting for a father, that drains our oxygen
Waiting for a father figure who seems to deplete their life force.
A prodigal father, returning to his sons
Describing the absent father as a wayward one, anticipating a return.
And their arms are still wide open
Despite past actions, the family is still open to reconciliation.
Whats done is never done
Highlighting the lasting impact of past actions.
It comes in waves, the grief persists
Reiteration of grief's persistent nature.
The anthem to the fatherless
Reaffirmation of grief as an anthem for those without fathers.
Four sons who crave, childhood bliss
Four sons yearning for the joy of childhood.
Still longing for their fathers kiss
Expressing ongoing longing for paternal affection.
What kind of father will I choose to be
Contemplating the type of father the speaker will become.
All that I know is that the cycle stops with me
Commitment to break a negative cycle and be a better father.
The cycle stops with me
Repetition for emphasis on breaking the cycle.
The cycle stops with me
Reiteration of the determination to end the negative cycle.
We'll cover our eyes, hold our breath and count to ten
Recurrence of symbolic actions, waiting for a positive change.
Just waiting for a father, that drains our oxygen
Anticipating the arrival of a father figure to bring life back.
A prodigal father, returning to his sons
Describing the father as wayward but open to reconciliation.
And their arms are still wide open
Despite past actions, the family is still willing to reconcile.
Whats done is never done
Reiterating the lasting impact of past actions.
It comes in waves, the grief persists
Reaffirmation of grief as an anthem for those without fathers.
The anthem to the fatherless
Reiteration of the persistent nature of grief.
For sons who crave, childhood bliss
Four sons yearning for childhood joy, still seeking paternal affection.
Still longing for their fathers kiss
Continued longing for a father's kiss.
