VHS Sunrise
Embracing Life's Impermanence: VHS Sunrise by Jeremy Blake
Lyrics
Hey
Expression of greeting or acknowledgment
Take my hand and dry those eyes
Offering support and comfort during a difficult time
This isn't what we planned, but I'm gonna be here
Acknowledging a deviation from the original plan but committing to be present
I'm gonna be here, even though
Reaffirming the commitment to be present despite uncertainties
Goodbyes make me nervous
Expressing uneasiness about farewells
I really don't want to cry
Reluctance to show emotions through crying
I think of all the years and how the time just flies
Reflecting on the passage of time and the fleeting nature of life
This life could be perfect
Acknowledging the potential for a perfect life
But we only really get one try
Recognizing the limited opportunities in life
So I will hold this memory of you and me: a VHS sunrise
Committing to cherish a specific memory represented as a "VHS sunrise"
Hey
Repetition of the greeting or acknowledgment
I know it hurts
Acknowledging emotional pain
But it always has
Stating that pain has always been present
And this is the light you've earned
Emphasizing the earned nature of the current situation
This is the way we go now
Indicating acceptance of the current path or circumstances
So take my hand, hold your eyes and breathe
Encouraging someone to hold onto the moment and breathe
Goodbyes make me nervous
Reiteration of discomfort with farewells
I really don't want to cry
Reiterating the desire to avoid crying
I think of all the years and how the time just flies
Reflecting on the swift passage of time
This life could be perfect
Acknowledging the potential for a perfect life once again
But we only really get one try
Reiterating the limited opportunities in life
So I will hold this memory of you and me: a VHS sunrise
Reaffirming the commitment to hold onto a specific memory
