If I Die
Embracing Shadows: Luna and the Fathers' Poignant Reflection on Life's Struggles
Lyrics
I never could smile in the morning
The speaker struggles to find joy or happiness in the morning.
Forgive me for this
An apology is extended, possibly for the difficulty in expressing morning happiness.
For most of my mornings
Most mornings evoke memories of times that are missed or lost.
Remind me of times that I miss
The speaker reflects on attempting self-deprecating humor when criticized for appearance.
Tried to make fun of myself
An attempt is made to make light of oneself when told they look bad.
When you said I looked bad
The speaker struggles to overcome mysterious internal challenges or emotional turmoil.
I just couldn't stop
Despite efforts, the internal struggles persist.
The mysterious storms in my head
The speaker faces mysterious storms or complexities in their thoughts.
I know that you never
A recognition that the listener has never intentionally tried to bring the speaker down.
Oh never tried to pull me down
An acknowledgment that the speaker forgot how to navigate life independently.
I kind of forgot how I can
The speaker reflects on regaining mastery over their own life.
Master life on my own
An uncertainty if the speaker will overcome challenges this time.
But good old friend I don't know
A plea to an old friend for support or guidance.
If this time I will get out
Doubts arise about the speaker's ability to overcome challenges.
I started to doubt
The speaker starts to question their understanding of the world.
That I know what this world's all about
If the speaker dies, a request to remember their physical body and soul.
And if I die tonight take my body
A plea to retain the speaker's soul in memory if they pass away.
Keep my soul in mind
If attempting something risky, a request not to extinguish their metaphorical light.
And if I tried tonight let me fade
A reminder that staying doesn't imply the ability to endure everything.
Don't put me out the light
A desire to be taken to unfamiliar places away from current struggles.
Just 'cause I stay it don't mean I can take it all
A wish to explore worlds beyond and feel the love present there.
Take me far from unknown places
An acknowledgment of using substances as a coping mechanism.
Show me worlds above let me feel their love
A realization that it's time to stop using drugs.
Take the drugs I drown myself in
If facing mortality, a plea to remember the speaker's body and soul.
Oh no I should stop for now I've had enough
A cautionary note to keep the speaker's soul in mind if attempting something risky.
And if I die tonight take my body
If attempting something, a plea not to extinguish the metaphorical light.
Keep my soul in mind
A request to be remembered if the speaker dies, both physically and spiritually.
If I tried tonight let me fade
If attempting something risky, a plea not to extinguish their metaphorical light.
Don't put me out the light
A reminder that staying doesn't imply the ability to endure everything.
Just 'cause I stay it don't mean I can take it all
A plea for understanding that staying doesn't mean being able to endure all challenges.
