A Song to Myself
Echoes of Redemption: Love's Resilience in 'A Song to Myself'
Lyrics
A song to myself
A reflective expression on the act of creating a personal song.
A word to the wise
Addressing the audience with a piece of advice or insight.
I never listen to any advice
Admitting a tendency to ignore or disregard guidance from others.
But the bough has been broken
Suggesting a significant rupture or damage in a relationship or situation.
I've finally hit bottom
Reaching a low point or experiencing a profound setback.
These are hard pills I need to swallow
Conveying the difficulty of accepting harsh realities.
Sorry I was screaming at the top of my lungs
Expressing regret for being overly expressive and loud.
And losing my voice
Mentioning the consequence of losing one's voice due to intense emotions.
Sorry, I was dreaming after all
Apologizing for indulging in unrealistic or fanciful thoughts.
Yeah
An affirmative acknowledgment of the preceding statement.
A smack in the mouth (yeah)
Describing a figurative blow to the speaker's confidence or ego.
One for the team
Alluding to a shared experience or challenge with others.
Just when I figured out how to get clean
Overcoming a personal struggle and achieving sobriety.
But it's far more rewarding to get down and dirty
Emphasizing the value of engaging in challenging or unconventional experiences.
Long as I'm standing
Asserting resilience and strength in the face of difficulties.
Not on my knees, but
Clarifying the posture of standing tall and not succumbing to weakness.
Sorry I was screaming at the top of my lungs
Repeating apologies for being vocally expressive and intense.
And losing my voice
Reiterating the consequence of losing one's voice due to intensity.
Sorry, I was dreaming after all
Apologizing for indulging in unrealistic or fanciful thoughts again.
Sorry, I was dreaming after all
Repeating an apology for dreaming unrealistically.
Are they coming back for me?
Raising questions about the possibility of being abandoned or forgotten.
Left me on Earth, took away my memory
Expressing a feeling of being left with no recollection of the past.
I'm no human
Questioning the speaker's humanity or identity.
How could I be?
Asserting the speaker's non-human nature or existence.
Will I go home? Have they thrown me away?
Pondering the possibility of returning home or being abandoned.
Away
Repetition of the word "Away," possibly emphasizing distance or isolation.
Away
-Away
-Sorry I was screaming at the top of my lungs
Apologizing again for being vocally expressive and intense.
And losing my voice
Reiterating the consequence of losing one's voice due to intensity.
Sorry, I was dreaming after all
Repeating apologies for indulging in unrealistic or fanciful thoughts.
Sorry, I was dreaming after all
-Sorry, I was dreaming after all
Final apology for dreaming unrealistically.
