Time's Embrace: Nostalgia and Loss in Jackie Lune's Melodic Reflections
Lyrics
Sometimes I forget
Sometimes, I forget
That did happen
Reflecting on past events
Then I think of it
Recalling memories and experiences
And I sadden
Feeling a sense of sorrow or melancholy
Mom’s in the garden
Mother is in the garden
Just saw her go
Recently observed her presence
Our hearts they harden
Emotional distancing or hardening of hearts
We lost who we know
Loss of familiar connections
I miss your calls
Yearning for missed communication
Heart breaks when we fall
Heartache during difficult times
Call me back somehow
Desire for a response or connection
I’m tryna make you proud
Aspiring to make a loved one proud
I think time flies
Perception of time passing quickly
When you had it
Nostalgia for a past period of happiness
I think time dies
Feeling of time standing still during rest
When I’m napping
Contrast in the perception of time
Everyone says goodbye
Acknowledgment of inevitable goodbyes
It's gonna happen
Acceptance of unavoidable events
No more wondering why
Resignation and understanding of life
Life was how I had it
Nostalgia for a past way of life
I miss your calls
Continued yearning for communication
Heart breaks when we fall
Heartache persists during setbacks
Call me back somehow
Yearning for a response or connection
I’m gonna make you proud
Continued aspiration for making someone proud
I can’t express the feeling
Difficulty expressing emotions
When your under the world
Feeling overwhelmed or burdened
I just miss my mama
Mourning the loss of a mother
Gone too soon from me
Expressing the untimely departure of a loved one
I just wish my mama
Expressing a desire for the presence of a mother
Was here with me
Emotional yearning for maternal companionship
