Billy
Billy's Redemption: A Tale of Regret and Resilience
Lyrics
Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going).
Billy is leaving today, and his destination is unknown.
Holds his head in disgrace (he can't escape the truth).
Billy feels a sense of shame and holds his head in disgrace, unable to escape the truth.
He knows the price that he's paid.
He is aware of the price he has paid for his actions.
He admits that it's too late to admit that he's afraid.
Billy acknowledges that it's too late to admit his fear.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.
As tomorrow arrives, sorrow becomes a constant companion to Billy.
The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
The irreversible damage is done, and the prodigal son (reckless and wayward) realizes he is too late to change.
Old doors are closed but he's always open,
Although old opportunities have closed, Billy remains emotionally open.
To relive time in his mind.
He continuously replays moments in his mind, attempting to relive the past.
Oh Billy.
An expression of empathy or concern for Billy.
Billy's leaving today (don't know where he's going).
Repetition of the theme: Billy is leaving today, and his destination is uncertain.
He's got lines on his face (they tell the story of his pain).
Billy bears visible signs of his struggles and pain on his face.
He accepts it's his fate.

He admits it took too long to admit that he was wrong.

Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.

The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.

Old doors are closed but he's always open,
Despite closed doors, Billy remains emotionally open.
To relive time in his mind.
Continued introspection as he tries to relive moments mentally.
Oh Billy.
Repetition of the empathetic or concerned expression for Billy.
Once he was a lover sleeping with another.
Reflecting on a time when Billy was a lover involved with someone else.
Now he's just known as a cheat.
Billy is now labeled as a cheat, highlighting a transformation in his reputation.
And he wish he'd had a mirror, looked a little clearer.
Billy regrets not having a clear self-reflection and understanding of his actions.
Seen into the eyes of the weak.
A wish to have seen the vulnerability in his own eyes.
Tomorrow comes. Sorrow becomes his soul mate.

The damage is done. The prodigal son is too late.
