Echoes of Lost Friendship: Emily Monsen's Melodic Remembrance
Lyrics
I can't tell you what the weather was like that day
I can't recall the weather on that day.
All I know is that it should've rained
Despite not remembering the weather, it feels like it should have rained.
And I can't believe I never spoke to him again
Expressing regret for not speaking to someone again.
Where'd he go? My best friend
Reflecting on the disappearance of a close friend.
Do you miss me? Oh it kills me
Possibly addressing the departed friend, questioning if they miss the speaker.
I fell slowly
Describing a gradual emotional descent or separation.
Then I sank
Further emphasizing a sinking feeling or emotional decline.
Let it go like a river flows
Encouraging the idea of letting go, akin to the flow of a river.
I'll find my way in the undertow
Expressing determination to find a path amid difficulties.
I'll keep every handwritten note
Committing to preserving handwritten notes as memories.
To see the way that you felt about me
Desiring to understand the past feelings of the departed friend.
I know you're gone now
Acknowledging the friend's absence in the present.
But I like to remember how
Expressing a preference for remembering past moments.
We used to be
Summing up the nostalgia for how things used to be.
And I can't tell you that I saw it Coming that day
Unable to predict the events leading to the friend's departure.
Where'd he go? I thought he'd stay
Expressing surprise or disappointment at the friend's departure.
And I can't believe I never got to say goodbye
Regret for not having the chance to say goodbye.
To the best part of my life
Referring to the departed friend as a significant part of life.
Do you miss me? Oh it kills me
Reiterating the emotional impact of the friend's absence.
I fell slowly then I sank
Continuing to describe the emotional descent and sinking feeling.
Let it go like a river flows
Encouraging the release of emotions, letting them flow like a river.
I'll find my way in the undertow
Expressing confidence in navigating difficulties.
I'll keep every handwritten note
Reaffirming the importance of preserving memories through notes.
To see the way that you felt about me
Desiring to understand the departed friend's feelings through notes.
I know you're gone now
Acknowledging the permanent absence of the friend in the present.
But I like to remember how
Expressing a preference for remembering how things used to be.
We used to be
Reiterating the nostalgia for the past and the lost connection.
I can't tell you what the weather was like that day
Repetition of the inability to recall the weather on the day of departure.
All I know is that it should've rained
Reiteration of the feeling that it should have rained on that day.
