Everything I've Learned
Eternal Echoes: Unveiling Life's Melodies Through Love and Loss
Lyrics
I'd like to teach you everything I've learned from you
I want to share the knowledge gained from our relationship.
But I know you won't be staying here that long
Aware that you won't stay with me for an extended period.
As the silence starts to build a wall around that makes you blue
Silence is creating a barrier that saddens you.
All the lessons hide themselves inside a song
Lessons are hidden within a song.
That plays about as long as the fire between us burned
The song symbolizes the duration of our relationship's intensity.
But never long enough to teach you everything I've learned
Insufficient time to convey everything I've learned.
I'd like to teach you everything I've learned from you
Reiteration of the desire to share knowledge gained from the person.
And all the things you helped me to forget
Acknowledgment of things learned and forgotten due to the person.
But I'm running out of time in this childish silly rhyme
Lack of time in a playful rhyme to conclude the story.
And it isn't time to write an ending yet
Not the right time to bring the story to an end.
When the summer sun explodes without answered prayer
Describing a difficult situation, possibly heartbreak.
And the earth below won't cool though midnight hums
Nature's elements refusing to soothe the pain.
I can turn the words and phrases into love songs in the air
Turning emotions into songs but unable to erase the memories.
But I'll never wash these bloodstains from my thumbs
A metaphor for lingering guilt or consequences.
Or train myself to recognize just why my feelings turned
Struggling to understand the reasons behind emotional shifts.
Or find the time to teach you everything I've learned
Time constraints preventing the sharing of accumulated wisdom.
I'd like to teach you everything I've learned from you
Reaffirmation of the desire to teach based on the relationship.
And all the things you helped me to forget
Recognition of the person's influence on forgetting certain things.
But I'm running out of time in this childish silly rhyme
Limited time in a whimsical rhyme without a conclusion.
And it isn't time to write an ending yet
The story isn't ready to come to an end yet.
I can feel an icy wind outside the altar of my dreams
A feeling of coldness impacting dreams and thoughts.
Eating holes inside the stomach of my thoughts
Anxiety eating away at thoughts.
A sequined stale bouquet of purple flowers drying out
Fading beauty of memories represented by withering flowers.
That once were fresh and wild forget me nots
Symbolic decay of once vibrant memories.
That grew as if to tell us there was something we had earned
Flowers indicating earned experiences but not enough to teach.
But never grew enough to teach you everything I've learned
The growth of memories insufficient to convey all that was learned.
I'd like to teach you everything I've learned from you
Reiteration of the desire to share knowledge from the person.
And all the things you helped me to forget
Acknowledgment of learning and forgetting due to the person.
But I'm running out of time in this childish silly rhyme
Limited time in a playful rhyme, still not ready for a conclusion.
And it isn't time to write an ending yet
The story is not yet ready for a definitive ending.
Yeah I'm running out of time in this childish silly rhyme
Expressing the urgency of time in a playful rhyme without conclusion.
And it isn't time to write an ending yet
The narrative is not prepared for a final resolution.
