My Fathers Words
Echoes of Wisdom: My Father's Guidance in Melody
Lyrics
Whisper to the wind howl upon a moon
Expressing a desire to share thoughts with the wind and be heard during a moonlit night.
Prey upon a shooting star and hope it reaches you
Wishing upon a shooting star with the hope that the wish will come true and reach the intended person.
I'll keep looking up signs up above
Commitment to staying vigilant, observing signs from above.
Show me where I'm going and things I'm dreaming off
Seeking guidance to understand one's path and the aspirations one dreams of.
He Said
Introducing a quote or advice from someone, presumably the speaker's father.
Son don't you cry hold back those tears
Fatherly advice to the son, encouraging emotional strength and resilience.
Drink from the bottle and drown all you're fears
Suggesting the use of alcohol to cope with fears, perhaps as a metaphorical escape.
Son don't you cry hold back that pain
Reiterating the call for emotional resilience, discouraging the expression of pain through tears.
Don't go drowning yourself in that pouring rain
Warning against self-destructive behavior, symbolized by drowning in pouring rain.
Everywhere I look see the same old faces
Observation of repetitive, familiar faces in various places.
Coming back south broken down place's
Reflecting on returning to a worn-down and troubled environment in the south.
Back when was I young you used to tell me
Recalling a time in youth when the father advised the son to understand him through words.
Listen to these words and then you'll really know me
Emphasizing the importance of heeding the father's words for a deeper understanding.
He said
Repetition of the father's advice, reinforcing its significance.
Son don't you cry hold back those tears
Reiteration of the father's guidance to hold back tears and face fears with strength.
Drink from the bottle and drown all you're fears
Metaphorically encouraging drowning fears with alcohol, possibly as a coping mechanism.
Son don't you cry hold back that pain
Repeating the call for emotional resilience and discouraging the expression of pain.
Don't go drowning yourself in the rain
Warning against self-destructive behavior, using rain as a metaphor for troubles.
I'll be free I'm out on my own again
Expressing a sense of freedom and independence after being on one's own.
Pa won't you show me which way to go again
Seeking guidance from the father again in the newfound independence.
Now that I'm out I'm all on my own
Acknowledging being alone but embracing the freedom and responsibility that comes with it.
I'm just a young man with a life to live for
Describing oneself as a young man with a whole life ahead to live for.
Whisper to the wind howl at the moon
Repeating the desire to share thoughts with the wind and howl at the moon for expression.
Prey upon a shooting star and hope it reaches you
Repeating the wish upon a shooting star, hoping for a connection and fulfillment.
