Holes
Echoes of Redemption: Journey through Love, Loss, and Melody
Lyrics
I was pacing the halls, waiting for your call
I was anxiously waiting for your phone call.
I couldn't believe when it finally came through
Finally receiving your call was surprising and significant.
I would walk to your home, miles back and forth alone
I was willing to make a considerable effort, walking back and forth to your home.
Eventually you'd walk with me too
Over time, you reciprocated by walking with me.
With holes in the carpet, holes in my shoes
There are literal and metaphorical "holes" in the singer's life, such as in the carpet and shoes.
Holes in my brain that I've worn through
The singer experiences cognitive gaps or challenges represented by holes in their brain.
Holes in my memory, holes in my blues
There are gaps in the singer's memory and feelings of sadness (blues).
Hole in my heart for you
There's a profound emotional gap or longing for the person being addressed.
Then together we'd walk, the oft tread road
The couple navigates a well-trodden path together, facing unseen challenges.
With signs invisible til we'd passed by
Signs or challenges become apparent only after they have passed.
And I started to notice you falling in love
The singer notices the other person falling in love.
You started to notice me getting high
The other person observes the singer engaging in substance abuse.
With holes in the carpet, holes in my shoes
Reiteration of literal and metaphorical holes in the singer's life.
Holes in my brain that I've worn through
Continued struggles with cognitive and emotional gaps.
Holes in my memory, holes in my blues
Memories are fragmented, and there's a persistent sense of sadness.
Hole in my heart for you
The emotional void or longing for the person remains.
And I like to pretend that those times are lost
The singer tries to convince themselves that those times are forgotten.
But still the ghost lingers inside
The memories persist like a lingering ghost.
It was your voice singing those gospel melodies
The other person's singing, possibly spiritual, serves as a stabilizing force for the singer.
That kept me from losing my mind
The music helps the singer maintain their sanity.
And I can't find the words to thank you
The singer struggles to express gratitude adequately.
But know til the day you die
The impact of the other person's influence is acknowledged until the end of the singer's life.
I earned these holes as you saved my soul
The holes in the singer's life are earned through challenges, while the other person saves their soul.
And I'll explain to the good lord why
The singer pledges to explain these experiences to a higher power.
I got holes in the carpet, holes in my shoes
Repetition of the theme of holes in various aspects of the singer's life.
Holes in my brain that I've worn through
The struggles with cognitive and emotional gaps persist.
Holes in my memory, holes in my blues
Continued challenges with memory and feelings of sadness.
Hole in my heart for you
The emotional void or longing for the person persists.
