STILL IN MY ARMS
Eternal Yearning: A Heartfelt Ode to Lost Loved Ones
Lyrics
Yeah ahhh yeah ahhh
Expressing emotion and agreement
Mmhhhmmmm yeah
Confirmation and agreement
Yeah ahhh yeah ahhh
Reiteration of emotional expression
Yeah look aye
Introducing the narrative or topic
Ain't had no rest in about 5 weeks
Expressing lack of rest for an extended period
Niggas took my baby sister this shit got my mind weak
Emotional distress due to a tragic event involving the speaker's sister
Nigga fuck this music and my job niggas can fire me
Feeling disillusioned with both music and job security
Wish u was closer I'm needin you in my arms reach
Expressing a strong desire for the presence of a loved one
Months passed and we ain't knowin who did it
Uncertainty and frustration regarding the identity of the perpetrator
Got me trippin I'm callin all of my niggas
Seeking support and assistance from friends to uncover the truth
To find a witness
Desire for justice and closure
Wish I was there I would've ran him down
Wishing to have intervened to prevent the tragedy
Give anything to hear you laughin now
Longing for the sound of the sister's laughter
When I catch em im finna flag em down
Determined to confront the perpetrator
That's on my own soul
Emphasizing the sincerity of the speaker's intentions
Can't melt this pain away
Recognition that emotional pain cannot be easily alleviated
World we live in is so cold
Commentary on the harshness of the world
I been prayin shits been hard
Expressing difficulty and seeking solace through prayer
We needin you home
Longing for the return of the person who is absent
But I got yo sisters and you know we on wit lil bro Jae
Assuring responsibility for looking after siblings in absence of the loved one
Aye you know JAE I GOT EM
Reiteration of commitment to support a sibling named Jae
This shit ain't real to me
Disbelief or denial regarding the reality of the situation
Lookin at yo face wit some candles
Expressing emotional pain while looking at the person's face during a memorial
That shit ain't healing me
Recognition that the process of mourning isn't bringing healing
Since you left you done left wit all of the fear in me
Feeling fearful and insecure since the person's departure
Trynna call yo name but it sucks to feel you ain't hearing me
Expressing the struggle to communicate with the departed
Wishin you could answer yo phone
Desiring a response or acknowledgment from the absent individual
I'm really stuck wishin you home
Feeling trapped and longing for the person's return
Now I'm stuck here writing this song
Expressing the process of dealing with grief through songwriting
Finna sing it like you still in my arms
Intention to sing the song as if the person is still present
Wishin you could answer yo phone
Reiteration of desire for the absent person's response
I'm really stuck wishin you home
Continued longing for the person's return
Now I'm stuck here writing this song
Continuation of the songwriting process as a means of coping
Finna sing it like you still in my arms
Intent to perform the song as if the person is physically present
Yeah ahhhhhh yeah ahhhhhhhhhh ahhhhh
Continued emotional expression
Aye you know JAE I GOT EM
Reiteration of commitment to support a sibling named Jae
Yeah ahhhhhh yeah ahhhhhhhhhh Mhmmm
Reiteration of emotional expression
