Patient of the Apothecary
Echoes of Desperation: Patient's Plea in Melodic Decay
Lyrics
Will I make it another day
Expressing uncertainty about surviving another day.
Don't know the time
Unaware of the current time.
Nor see the signs
Unable to perceive the signs or indications around.
Inside my slow decay
Reflecting on an internal, gradual deterioration.
Apothecary is on his way
Anticipating the arrival of an apothecary, possibly a healer or solution to problems.
He'll try to find
Expecting the apothecary to search for a cure.
The cure in time
Hopeful that the cure will be found in time.
Til' then I'm left alone to lay
Currently left alone and incapacitated until a solution is found.
How can I be sure you'll do what's right by me
Questioning the certainty of receiving proper care and concern.
And if I die before will you remember me
Raising the issue of remembrance in case of premature death.
Will you hear my voice before you go to sleep
Asking if the voice will be remembered before going to sleep.
Will you hear my voice
Reiterating the importance of hearing the voice.
Guess I've made it another day
Acknowledging survival for another day despite challenges.
Feeling weak
Experiencing weakness and sleep deprivation.
And losing sleep
Losing sleep without clear reasons.
For reasons that I can't explain
Facing unexplained difficulties and challenges.
Apothecary has gone away
Noting the absence of the apothecary.
He said he'd find
Recalling the apothecary's promise to find a cure.
The cure sometime
Expressing hope for the eventual discovery of a cure.
Til' then I'm left alone to lay
Continuing to endure alone until a solution is found.
How can I be sure you'll do what's right by me
Reiterating the need for assurance in doing what's right.
And if I die before will you remember me
Revisiting the theme of remembrance in the face of potential mortality.
Will you hear my voice before you go to sleep
Emphasizing the desire for the voice to be heard before sleep.
Will you hear my voice
Repeating the importance of the voice being heard.
