Life's Final Note: A Tale of Legacy and Connection
Lyrics
If they had to tell someone that something had happened
If there is a need to inform someone about an incident
If they found me just lying there what could they do?
Contemplating the possible discovery of the speaker in a vulnerable state
In case of an accident who could they notify
Considering who could be contacted in case of an accident
Would it be alright if they notified you?
Asking if it's acceptable to notify the listener in such a situation
I'm an unmarried orphan whose children have scattered
Describing the speaker as an unmarried orphan with dispersed children
Estranged from my siblings close friends just a few
Being distant from siblings with only a few close friends
And of those few friends I consider you closest
Expressing that among those friends, the listener is considered the closest
They must contact someone
Highlighting the necessity for someone to be contacted
Could they contact you?
Asking if the listener can be the one to be contacted
When they give you the bad news
Anticipating the delivery of unpleasant news
I'm sure you won't snicker
Assuming the listener's response will be serious and respectful
You'll remember the good times and all we went through
Expecting the listener to recall positive memories and shared experiences
Then I suppose that you'll tell all the others
Envisaging the listener sharing the news with others
Performing that awful task, someone has to
Recognizing the listener's role in performing the difficult task of sharing the news
When they go through my wallet and fish out my license
Imagining the examination of the speaker's wallet after the incident
They'll learn my D.O.B and my eyes were blue
Revealing details found in the wallet such as date of birth and eye color
As for my corneas, I don't care who gets them
Expressing indifference regarding corneas but designating all other organs and parts for the listener
But all other organs and parts are for you
Explicitly stating that all other organs and parts are meant for the listener
