The Day You're Gone
Eternal Echoes: A Heart's Ode to Unyielding Pain
Lyrics
Maybe I'm a little masochistic
Expressing a tendency towards enjoying emotional pain.
Cuz I can't write a song without you in it
Highlighting a difficulty in creating music that doesn't involve thoughts of the person.
And it never feels great
Acknowledging that the process is not enjoyable due to the emotional content.
Exploiting all this pain
Admitting to using personal pain for artistic expression.
Every single day
Describing the constant repetition of the painful memories through songwriting.
Just to relive it
Expressing the motivation to relive the pain through creative work.
I've used up every way to fit
Indicating exhaustion from trying various ways to convey the emotions.
Five years in a refrain and it
Referring to a prolonged period encapsulated in a musical phrase.
Fucking kills me
Expressing emotional distress and impact of the creative process.
That I'm not healing
Regretting the lack of personal healing despite artistic expression.
But I can't stop writing all these songs
Explaining the difficulty in stopping the creative process tied to the person.
Cuz the day I do is the day you're gone
Declaring the determination to continue creating as long as the person is present.
And I know I should be moving on
Acknowledging the need to move forward but struggling to do so.
But the day I do is the day you're gone
Reiterating the emotional dependence on the person for creative inspiration.
And I can tell my mom's a little worried
Noting concern from a parental figure about the emotional state.
So I try my best to hide that I'm still hurting
Attempting to conceal emotional pain from others.
But the second I'm alone
Highlighting vulnerability when alone and reminiscing about a specific date.
It's the second of September
Recalling a significant moment of separation on September 2nd.
And you're walking out the door
Describing a feeling of being trapped in the past due to the separation.
And I'm stuck here forever
Expressing a sense of perpetual suffering and inability to move on.
And I've used up every way to fit
Repeating the struggle to find ways to express the emotional pain.
My tears in a refrain and it
Expressing continued suffering while the person is healing.
Fucking kills me
Emphasizing the ongoing difficulty despite the passage of time.
That you've been healing
Acknowledging the other person's healing process, contrasting with personal struggles.
But I can't stop writing all these songs
Reiterating the challenge of stopping the creative process tied to the person.
Cuz the day I do is the day you're gone
Emphasizing the commitment to continue creating as long as the person is present.
And I know I should be moving on
Recognizing the necessity of moving on but struggling to do so.
But the day I do is the day you're gone
Reiterating the emotional dependence on the person for creative inspiration.
Oh
Expressing a sentiment of impending loss upon moving on.
The day I do is the day you're gone
Repeating the idea that moving on marks the person's departure.
Oh
Reiterating the sentiment that moving on signifies the person's departure.
The day I do is the day you're gone
Highlighting the inevitability of the person leaving upon the songwriter's healing.
Maybe it's just in my nature
Considering the possibility of emotional attachment as a natural aspect of the songwriter's character.
Every time my pen hits paper
Linking the act of writing to the difficulty of letting go of love.
Loving and not letting go
Repeating the theme of holding onto love and not releasing it.
Every time my pen hits paper
Reiterating the emotional struggle tied to the act of putting feelings into words.
But I can't stop writing all these songs
Emphasizing the ongoing challenge of stopping the creative process tied to the person.
Cuz the day I do is the day you're gone
Stating the commitment to continue creating until the person is gone.
