My Twin
Seeking Solace: A Tale of Lost Twins in Eleni Mandell's Melodic Odyssey
Lyrics
Why did that train derail?
Questioning the cause of a train derailment
201 victims were killed
Noting the number of victims (201) killed in the train derailment
Was my twin among the dead?
Expressing uncertainty about whether the speaker's twin was among the deceased
Was my twin expected to live?
Wondering if the twin was expected to survive the incident
I was here at home waiting for my twin to return
Waiting at home for the twin's return during the tragic event
All these men and women gone
Reflecting on the loss of many men and women due to a storm
Rocked from the sky by a terrible storm
Describing the victims being rocked from the sky by a terrible storm
Was my twin among the many?
Questioning whether the twin was among the casualties
Was my twin at peace and ready?
Wondering if the twin found peace and was prepared for the event
I was here at home waiting for my twin to return
Waiting at home for the twin's return amidst the storm aftermath
We never met but I believe my twin's out there
Expressing a belief in the existence of the twin, though they never met
And he's looking for me sharp and quick
Imagining the twin actively searching for the speaker
He'll compliment my slow, dull existence
Anticipating that the twin will bring excitement to the speaker's mundane life
Hey, hey
Hey, hey - Possibly a vocal expression or interjection
The ocean is insatiable
Describing the insatiable nature of the ocean
Took the crew and then the passengers
Narrating the ocean's impact, first on the crew and then on the passengers
Was my twin the first or last?
Questioning whether the twin was the first or last affected by the ocean
Was my twin holding fast?
Wondering if the twin held on during the ocean-related incident
I was here at home waiting for my twin to return
Waiting at home for the twin during the ocean-related tragedy
We never met but I believe my twin's out there
Expressing a belief in the twin's existence, despite never meeting
And he's looking for me sharp and quick
Imagining the twin actively searching for the speaker, again
He'll compliment my slow, dull existence
Anticipating that the twin will bring excitement to the speaker's mundane life, again
Fire fast, so fast it burns
Describing a fast-burning fire that consumes everything in its path
Swallowing everything, a furious system
Depicting a furious system that swallows everything
Was my twin among the lost?
Questioning whether the twin was among the casualties of the fire
Desperately breathing water from the faucet?
Imagining the twin desperately breathing water from a faucet during the fire
I was here at home waiting for my twin to return
Waiting at home for the twin during the fire-related tragedy
