Lifeline
Redemption's Echo: A Journey from Despair to Friendship
Lyrics
Did you see me crashing down
Expressing a moment of personal downfall or failure.
Did you even turn around
Questioning if others noticed the speaker's struggles.
I just need one last line
Desiring one last chance or opportunity.
And a little, a little more time
Seeking additional time for personal growth or change.
To earn back your respect
Yearning to regain lost admiration or regard.
For the man I was back then
Reflecting on a past version of oneself and the need for redemption.
And I could really use a friend
Expressing a need for companionship or support.
Someone on who I can depend
Desiring someone dependable to lean on.
And I, can't do this without you
Acknowledging dependence on someone for support.
But you'll no longer do this with me
Noting a change in the other person's willingness to help.
Will you hold my hand while I cry
Pleading for emotional support during a difficult time.
Would be easier just to get high
Contemplating an easier but unhealthy coping mechanism.
I should have seen this coming, done something
Regretting a failure to anticipate and act on a problem.
Wait, forgive me, you won't see me do this again
Expressing a commitment to change and seeking forgiveness.
Stay, trust me, I'll make this to the end
Requesting trust and assurance of commitment.
You saw me crashing down
Recalling a past instance of support and understanding.
You even turned around
Confirming the other person's awareness and involvement.
Threw me a lifeline
Grateful for the support provided, symbolized as a lifeline.
Gave me a little more time
Acknowledging the gift of additional time and opportunity.
You showed me your respect
Recognizing the restoration of respect and dignity.
Called me a man again
Expressing gratitude for being considered a man again.
And always, you were my true friend
Emphasizing the enduring nature of their friendship.
And I, did not do this without you
Highlighting the collaborative effort in overcoming challenges.
And you, always, stand with me
Affirming the consistent support received from the friend.
You held my hand while I cried
Recalling emotional support during moments of vulnerability.
Convinced me not to get high
Being convinced to choose a healthier path instead of succumbing to negative coping mechanisms.
My friend you saw this comming, did something
Acknowledging the friend's proactive role in addressing issues.
Now, forgiven, never has happened again
Stating that forgiveness has been granted and the negative event won't be repeated.
Stayed, trusted, this is where my story ends
Affirming the stability and trust in their relationship as the story concludes.
