Cholera
Rebirth Amidst Shadows: Rediscovering Hope Through Pain
Lyrics
What if I faded away with no trace left behind?
The fear of disappearing without leaving any evidence or impact.
You'd only hear fading words to let you know I'm fine
Assurance that any communication would suggest everything is okay.
There's no expectations, I'll let go
Letting go of any preconceived notions or obligations.
It's all said and done with nothing left to show
Having completed everything, yet there's nothing tangible to display.
There's nothing left to show
Reiterating the absence of anything substantial to exhibit.
Now this is all
This is the entirety or the limit of what the speaker can offer.
I have to give of myself
A recognition that the speaker has given their all.
With my hopes wearing thin
Feeling disheartened as optimism diminishes.
Now this is all
Expressing that this is all that remains.
I have left in pieces
Feeling broken and fragmented, but with enough to start anew.
But just enough to begin again
Having just enough to initiate a fresh beginning.
Here I find myself retracing the steps of what could have been
Reflecting on past choices and contemplating alternative outcomes.
And I find myself reflecting on the moments I failed in
Thinking about and learning from past failures.
I'm unwanted, disconnected, bruised and jaded
Feeling undesirable, isolated, hurt, and cynical.
I'm only spare parts but this heart will revive and beat again
Despite feeling broken, the heart will recover and beat again.
Now that you've faded away there's no trace left behind
Reflecting on someone else disappearing without a trace.
What's left of these memories are frozen still in time
Only memories remain frozen in time after someone's departure.
There's no expectations, I'll let go
Reiterating the release of expectations or obligations.
It's all said and done with nothing left to show
Everything's completed, yet there's nothing tangible to display (repeated).
There's nothing left to show
Reiterating the absence of anything substantial to exhibit (repeated).
I'll begin again.
Embracing the idea of starting anew despite past circumstances.
