Skipping Stone
Echoes of Departure: Embracing Farewells and Love's Residue
Lyrics
I'm getting good at saying goodbye
I have become adept at parting ways.
But I've always been better at believing
My strength lies in having faith or trust.
That you're better off
Believing that you are better off without me.
Wherever you go, go with all your heart
When you embark on a journey, do it wholeheartedly.
Worn out and broken in like hand me downs
Experienced and accustomed, like second-hand possessions.
And every memory is like a skipping stone
Each memory is fleeting, like a skipping stone.
You'll never understand how long it took the tides
The time it took for circumstances to bring memories back.
To bring them back to us
Reflecting on the effort it took for memories to resurface.
I'm getting good at saying goodbye
Repetition of becoming skilled at farewells.
Saying goodbye
Reiteration of the difficulty of saying goodbye.
Wherever you go, go with all your heart
Advice to put your whole heart into your endeavors.
Worn out and broken in like hand me downs
Repetition of being worn and used, like inherited items.
Every memory is like a skipping stone
Reiteration of memories as fleeting, like skipping stones.
You'll never understand how long it took the tides
Reflection on the time it took for memories to return.
To bring them back to us
Contemplating the significance of memory resurfacing.
And we grow into those sadder songs
Growing into and understanding more melancholic songs.
And leave our love behind in every single line
Leaving traces of our love in the lyrics of each sad song.
Maybe that's the only place it can really live
Suggesting that songs may be the true home for love.
But you could never understand
Expressing the difficulty of understanding.
You don't care, you don't care
Indifference or lack of concern.
You would never understand
Reiteration of the lack of understanding.
You don't care, you don't care
Repetition of indifference or lack of concern.
Wherever you go, wherever you go
Repetition of the advice to wholeheartedly pursue your path.
Wherever you go
Repetition of advising to pursue one's path.
Every memory is like a skipping stone
Recurrence of memories as fleeting, like skipping stones.
You'll never understand how long it took the tides
Reiteration of the time it took for memories to return.
To bring them back to us
Reflecting on the effort it took for memories to resurface.
And we grow into those sadder songs
Growing into and understanding more melancholic songs.
And leave our love behind in every single line
Leaving traces of our love in the lyrics of each sad song.
I'm getting good at saying goodbye
Reiteration of becoming skilled at farewells.
Saying goodbye
Repetition of the difficulty of saying goodbye.
