Guiding Angels: Finding Comfort in Departure
Lyrics
Here's to the ones that we said goodbye to yesterday
Expressing a toast or tribute to those departed recently.
Did they understand that
Raising a question about whether the departed understood something.
Nothing ever really disappears round here
Highlighting the idea that things linger or have lasting effects in the environment.
Somehow we know
Indicating a shared understanding or awareness.
No matter how cold
Suggesting that even in difficult times, there is solace in the departure of certain individuals.
We find some comfort in people who go
Emphasizing finding comfort in people who explore uncharted territories.
Beyond the known
Describing those who venture into the unknown with valuable qualities or experiences.
Ladened with gold
Imagining individuals departing with significant achievements or wealth.
To a new life
Referencing a transition to a new phase in life.
I bet they're angels on my door step
Suggesting the possibility of benevolent figures waiting for the speaker.
Waiting for me to come home
Anticipating a return or reunion after a journey.
Are we ever alone?
Pondering the concept of never truly being alone.
Oh I bet those fathers, mothers and teachers are still a part of our laughter and tears
Affirming the enduring influence of important figures in shaping emotions.
Are they're guiding us on.
Positing the ongoing guidance of departed individuals.
Here's to the ones that we built our lives around
Toasting those who played significant roles in shaping lives.
They taught us how to love
Recognizing the teachings about love from influential individuals.
And give our all to some higher cause
Acknowledging the commitment to a higher purpose or cause.
Somehow we know
Reiterating the finding of comfort in the departure of certain individuals.
No matter how cold
Emphasizing solace in the exploration of the unknown.
We find some comfort in people who go
Repeating the idea of finding comfort in those who go beyond the familiar.
Beyond the known
Describing those who depart with valuable qualities or experiences.
Ladened with gold
Imagining individuals departing with significant achievements or wealth.
To a new life
Referencing a transition to a new phase in life.
I bet they're angels in my doorstep
Reiterating the presence of benevolent figures waiting for the speaker.
Waiting for me to come home
Anticipating a return or reunion after a journey.
Are we ever alone?
Pondering the concept of never truly being alone.
Oh I bet those fathers, mothers and teachers
Repeating the reference to important figures such as fathers, mothers, and teachers.
Are still a part of our laughter and tears
Affirming the enduring influence of these figures in shaping emotions.
And they're guiding us on
Positing the ongoing guidance of departed individuals.
Home,
Expressing a desire to return home.
Let us go home
Repeating the plea to go home.
Oh we're going home
Reiterating the longing to go home.
Let us go home
Emphasizing the plea to go home.
I bet they're angels on my doorstep
Reiterating the presence of benevolent figures waiting for the speaker.
They're waiting for me to come home
Anticipating a return or reunion after a journey.
