To My Mother
Eternal Bonds: A Tribute to Unconditional Love in 'To My Mother'
Lyrics
To my mother
Expressing a dedication "To my mother."
I watch your wounds bleed while you bandage me
Observing the mother's wounds while she cares for the speaker's injuries.
To my mother
Reiterating the dedication "To my mother."
I hear you apologize when you let a tear slip from your eyes
Noticing the mother's apologies when she sheds a tear.
Chorus:
Chorus begins.
Oh my, to think of you gone sends a shiver down my spine
Expressing the emotional impact of the thought of the mother's absence.
I'd be a dead woman walking alive
Describing the intense emotional pain and the feeling of being emotionally dead if the mother were to leave.
If ever you leave this life and leave me crushed, at least I have you in the blood
Reflecting on the potential devastation if the mother were to depart, emphasizing the enduring connection in the blood.
To my mother
Reiterating the dedication "To my mother."
I see you grab my hand to show that dreams are worth more when they're not dreamt alone
Witnessing the mother holding the speaker's hand to emphasize the value of shared dreams.
To my mother
Reaffirming the dedication "To my mother."
I know you dropped all that you own just so your arms can be my home
Acknowledging the sacrifices the mother made, letting go of possessions to create a comforting home for the speaker.
Chorus:
Chorus repeats.
Oh my, to think of you gone sends a shiver down my spine
Reiterating the emotional impact of imagining the mother's absence.
I'd be a dead woman walking alive
Describing the overwhelming emotional state, feeling like a walking dead person if the mother were to leave.
If ever you leave this life and leave me crushed, at least I have you in the blood
Highlighting the enduring connection in the blood even in the face of potential devastation.
To my mother
Reaffirming the dedication "To my mother."
I feel the love that you gave
Sensing the love provided by the mother.
No matter where you go it always seems to stay
Noting that the love remains present regardless of the mother's location.
Chorus:
Chorus repeats.
Oh my, to think of you gone sends a shiver down my spine
