Still Here
Enduring Presence: Esther Veen's Still Here Unveils Resilience
Lyrics
My eyes are shut
Feeling introspective or closed off.
For the daylight
Avoiding exposure to the challenges of life.
Is far too hard to bear
Daylight symbolizes difficulties that are hard to face.
Lay me down steady
Request for comfort and stability.
Hold still
Asking for stillness and reassurance.
And whisper all is well
Seeking comfort and being told that everything is okay.
Come sit with me
Inviting someone to be present and supportive.
By this bed
Asking for companionship in challenging times.
Tell me about
Requesting to share experiences of the day.
The day you've had
Encouraging open communication about personal experiences.
And if you won't
Respecting the choice of not discussing certain topics.
We don't have to talk about it
Offering the option of silence without pressure.
When you don't say anything
Reflecting on the impact of silence on thoughts.
My mind is wondering
Contemplating self-worth in the absence of communication.
Will I ever be good enough
Questioning personal adequacy.
But when all is lost
Acknowledging moments of despair and abandonment.
And long forgotten
Reference to past hardships fading away.
You are still here
Affirmation of someone's enduring presence despite challenges.
Hmm, Hmm
Expression of contemplation or a thoughtful pause.
When all is lost
Reiteration of loss and forgetfulness.
And long forgotten
Reaffirmation of someone's continued presence.
You are still here
Confirmation of enduring support.
Ooh
Expressing emotional response, possibly relief or gratitude.
