A Brief Moment
A Brief Moment of Reflection: Harriet Nauer's Soulful Contemplation
Lyrics
I know I have days before me
I am aware that I have time ahead of me
It calms my soul
This awareness brings peace to my inner self
And if I'm wrong
Even if I'm mistaken
I don't wanna know
I prefer to remain ignorant if I am wrong
I know bodies can float
I understand that bodies can float, suggesting the fragility of life
Or hang from a ceiling
Reference to a disturbing method of ending life
It must be a hard decision a life not worth living
Acknowledging the difficulty of choosing a life that seems not worth living
A brief moment of freedom somewhere to go
Describing a fleeting moment of freedom, a metaphorical journey
Another way of saying I'm coming home
Suggesting an alternative way of expressing the desire to return home
I know I have days before me it calms my soul
Reiteration of the acknowledgment of time ahead, bringing calmness
And if I'm wrong I don't wanna know
Reiteration of the preference to remain ignorant if wrong
Let them follow the river root and grow
Encouraging others to follow a natural path, possibly metaphorical
And hear the swallows in their nooks and crannies
Listening to nature, represented by swallows in their habitats
Let the sun through their canopy
Letting the positive aspects of life, represented by the sun, reach through
Let it warm swaying feet
Allowing warmth to touch the soul
I know I have days before me it calms my soul
Reiteration of the awareness of time and its calming effect
And if I'm wrong I don't wanna know
Reiteration of the preference to remain ignorant if wrong
I lay my flowers down
Symbolically placing flowers as a sign of respect
I lay my flowers down respectfully
Respectfully laying down flowers
Beneath the trees
Beneath the trees, suggesting a connection with nature or a final resting place
They leave you in pieces and the pieces won't heal
Expressing the emotional impact of being broken into pieces
They leave you in pieces and the pieces won't heal
Repetition of the broken pieces metaphor, indicating a lasting impact
When words not enough
Recognizing the inadequacy of words in certain situations
I know how you feel
Empathy towards someone experiencing a profound emotional state
When words not enough
Reiteration of the limitation of words in expressing deep emotions
I know how you feel
Reaffirming understanding of the intense emotions
I know I have days before me it calms my soul
Reiteration of the awareness of time and its calming effect
And if I'm wrong I don't wanna know
Reiteration of the preference to remain ignorant if wrong
And if I'm wrong I don't wanna know
-They leave you in pieces
Emphasizing the enduring impact of being shattered into pieces
They leave you in pieces
Repetition highlighting the profound emotional damage
They leave you in pieces
Further emphasizing the enduring emotional devastation
They leave you in pieces
Continuing to underscore the lasting emotional impact
They leave you in pieces
Stressing the persistence of emotional wounds
When words not enough
Reiteration of the inadequacy of words in certain emotional situations
I know how you feel
Expressing empathy for those experiencing deep emotional pain
When words not enough
Reiteration of the limitations of words in expressing intense emotions
I know how you feel
Reaffirming understanding of the intense emotions
