Father, Oh Father
Heartache's Redemption: Hoodoo Trail's Poignant Journey
Lyrics
Father Oh Father
Addressing the father figure, seeking guidance or expressing a connection
What Have I become
Questioning personal identity or character transformation
No harm Oh No Harm
Denial of causing harm or wrongdoing
Have I ever Done
Questioning past actions or deeds
She loved me said she loved me
Recollection of being loved but abandoned for someone else
Then left me for another one
Feelings of betrayal and abandonment
She made me pull my gun
Implies being driven to extreme measures due to betrayal
Now she's gone
Realization of the person's absence after the mentioned action
Father Oh Father
Reiteration of addressing the father figure
I have lost my only one
Expressing the loss of a significant individual
Why did he why did he
Questioning the motives or actions of someone
Do what he'd done
Wondering about the reasons behind someone's actions leading to personal downfall
He loved me said he loved me
Recollection of feeling loved before being hurt or destroyed
But then he brought me to my end
Reflecting on the damage caused emotionally, possibly irreparable
A heart this broken will never mend
Acceptance of emotional wounds that might never heal
Father my father tell me what should I do
Seeking guidance from the father on how to proceed or make choices
How can oh how can I be free
Expressing confusion or disbelief about the harshness of love
No man has told me
Surprise at the unexpected cruelty experienced in love
Love would be so cruel
Appealing for divine intervention or mercy due to the pain caused
Oh Lord have mercy on me
Pleading for mercy or understanding from a higher power
Lover oh lover
Addressing a lover, referring to consequences aligning with actions
You reap what you sow
Implies facing repercussions corresponding to one's actions
Imprisoned for a lifetime
Feeling confined or trapped, both physically and spiritually
Body and soul
Emphasizing the entrapment of both body and soul
I loved you said I loved you
Recollection of love preceding a fatal action or consequence
But then I took your breath away
Acknowledgment of causing harm or death to the loved one
Behind these county bars I'll end my days
Acceptance of a life sentence behind bars as consequence
Father my Father
Repetition of seeking forgiveness from the father figure
Forgive me my sins
Requesting absolution for committed wrongdoings
How can oh how can I be free
Expressing the desire for guidance to achieve freedom
I´ll spend my final days
Resigned to spending remaining life days in regretful reflection
Making my amends
Commitment to rectify past mistakes or misdeeds
Oh lord have mercy on me
Reiteration of pleading for mercy or understanding from a higher power
Oh lord have mercy on me
Repetition of pleading for mercy from a divine entity
Oh lord have mercy on my soul
Final plea for divine mercy on the individual's soul
