Closing Doors
Journey of Closure: Departures' Emotional Farewell
Lyrics
Five more steps and I'll leave this home
Preparing to leave a familiar place.
I won't be coming back, and deep down I know
Acknowledging the finality of departure.
That this will be the last time
Acknowledging that this departure is the last.
And time is running slow
Feeling the slowness of time during departure.
Every footstep that I take
Each step is emphasized, signifying the significance of leaving.
Makes the loudest sound
The departure is loud and impactful.
Closing doors to empty rooms
Closing doors to rooms, symbolizing the end of a chapter.
This isn't how I pictured it would be
Expressing dissatisfaction with the reality of departure.
This is where I used to
Reflecting on a past where daydreaming was common.
Daydream all my days away
Days filled with imagination and dreams.
Filling in the blanks with stolen memories
Creating a past with memories that may not be entirely authentic.
The constant light that I used to
The comforting light outside the window is fading.
Stare at outside my window starts to flicker
The external world is changing or losing its appeal.
It can't be running away if there's
A realization that there's no escape.
Nowhere left to run to
Acceptance of the absence of escape routes.
It's just I've found another way
Finding an alternative path rather than escaping.
This can't be running away
Clarifying that it's not running away but finding a new direction.
If there's nowhere left to run to
Reiterating the shift in direction rather than escape.
It's just I've found another way to get
Finding a new way to reach the desired destination.
To where I need to be
Finding a path to where one needs to be.
Step outside leaving for the last time
Leaving the past behind by stepping outside.
The air is so much colder than it used to be
Feeling the tangible difference in the environment.
That night air, it closes in on me
Sensory experience of the colder night air.
And as I breathe out I
A moment of contemplation as the end begins.
Can feel the end beginning
Feeling the approaching conclusion.
Try not to shake as I turn
Attempting to remain composed during the departure.
And lock in the door
Securing the closure of a previous life.
Locking away a life that I fought so hard for
Locking away the struggles and achievements of the past.
But as I'm walking away I know
Acknowledging the difficulty of walking away.
The night belongs to me
Claiming ownership of the night and the departure.
As I'm walking away
Aware that the night is significant in this departure.
I know this night belongs to me
Reiterating the personal connection to the night.
It can't be running away if there's
Reiterating the absence of escape routes.
Nowhere left to run to
Accepting the lack of traditional escape options.
It's just I've found another way
Finding an unconventional way to progress.
To get to where I need to be
Finding a unique path to the desired destination.
This night belongs to me
Reiterating the personal significance of the night.
