May
Navigating Grief: Journey Through Seasons
Lyrics
It was a dark night
Setting the scene of a dark night, possibly symbolizing a challenging or difficult time.
When I heard the news
Receiving unsettling news during the dark night.
Rolled up my sleeves and walked
Taking action, getting ready to face a difficult situation.
Like a landslide, overly abused
Describing the emotional impact, feeling overwhelmed and abused.
Yet told myself to call
Prompting oneself to make a call despite confusion.
Yes my mother, vaguely confused
Calling the mother, who advises against excessive emotional expression.
She told me not to ball
Mother's advice not to cry excessively, as the eyes are already red.
Ball my eyes, 'cause my eyes are red
Highlighting the emotional strain and emptiness.
With nothing left at all, no
Expressing a sense of loss and having nothing remaining.
So I gather, my composure
Gathering composure and preparing to leave.
Head quickly for the door
Feeling urgency as alarm bells ring.
And yet alarm bells ring, they ring louder now
Intensifying emotions as the situation becomes more alarming.
Frequent the lady called
Mentioning a lady, possibly a grandmother figure, and frequenting her.
"Call me your grandmother?
Questioning the relationship with the lady.
I loved her so much more
Expressing deep love for the grandmother.
Than nobody else, left on this earth
Stating the grandmother is more loved than anyone else.
I'm in this state of awe
Being in a state of awe, possibly due to the grandmother's significance.
As we March through the madness
Moving forward through difficult times with determination.
April was unclear
Reflecting on a confusing April, possibly a period of uncertainty.
Suddenly it turned to sadness
Transitioning from hope to sadness.
Hopes turned into fears
Hope turning into fear.
And it was May
Emphasizing the significance of May.
It was May
-It was May
-It was May
-Guess it was a day, the day of reckoning
Referring to a day of reckoning, a critical moment.
Six feet beneath us all
Mentioning being six feet beneath, suggesting a somber event.
Yet we held on, held each other tight
Holding on to each other to withstand a difficult situation.
Withstand this winter storm
Metaphorically facing a winter storm together.
'Cause we're here now, yes we're here now
Expressing resilience and strength in the family.
Moments like this are raw
-It's my family tree planting it's roots
-stronger than before
-As we March through the madness
Repetition of the theme of moving through challenges in March and April, and the significance of May.
April was unclear
-Suddenly it turned to sadness
-Hopes turned into fears
-And it was May
-It was May
-It was May
-It was May
-You left
Expressing the sudden departure of someone without the chance to say goodbye.
You left
-Without a chance to say
-Without a chance to say goodbye at all
-A chance to say goodbye at all
-As we March through the madness
Repetition of the theme, emphasizing the journey through challenging times.
April was unclear
-Suddenly it turned to sadness
-Hopes turned into fears
-And it was May
-It was May
-It was May
-It was May
Emphasizing the significance of May once again.
