Tombstone on the Hill
Echoes of Lost Love: Unveiling the Tale Behind 'Tombstone on the Hill'
Lyrics
Morning came without a warning
Morning arrived unexpectedly
And I am starting to sober up
Regaining sobriety
I'm having endless conversations
Ongoing internal dialogues
With myself and they never stop
Continuous self-reflection
I saw divine light through the cracks
Perceived a divine presence, but it was the morning sun
But it was just the morning sun
The realization of a false sense of spirituality
And it was coming with a notice
The morning sun served as a warning
That the end had just begun
An indication that the end is near
I am back where I started
Returned to the starting point
Been drowning myself
Engaged in destructive behavior
In the sorrow of my long lost love
Suffering from the pain of a lost love
And though I'm crying out forgive me
Pleading for forgiveness
My echoes all I hear
Only hearing echoes of one's own voice
I just hope that some day they will
Hoping that the echoes will find
Go find my tombstone on the hill
The speaker's tombstone on a hill
I'm at the bottom of the bottle
Reaching the lowest point
Nothing left to make things right
No solution remaining to fix things
There ain't no haven safe to go for
No place of safety to seek
Ain't no struggle worth the fight
No worthwhile struggles left
And now I'm back where I started
Back to the starting point again
Been drowning myself
Immersed in sorrow over lost love
In the sorrow of my long lost love
Continuing self-destructive behavior
And though I'm crying out forgive me
Pleading for forgiveness once more
My echoes all I hear
Only hearing one's own echoes
I just hope that some day they will
Hoping that someday the echoes will find
Go find my tombstone on the hill
The speaker's tombstone on a hill
And now I'm back where I started
Reiterating the return to the starting point
Been drowning myself
Continuing the pattern of self-destruction
In the sorrow of my long lost love
Ongoing sorrow for lost love
I'll keep crying out forgive me
Persistent plea for forgiveness
Til the day I turn to dust
Continuing the plea until turning to dust
I just hope that by then they will
Hoping that by then the echoes will find
I hope that by then they will
Hoping for the same even as dust
Go find my tombstone on the hill
The speaker's tombstone on a hill
