Lea's Song
Embracing Life's Fades: A Poignant Journey Through Memories
Lyrics
The chalk in the sidewalk still remains
The remnants of childhood, represented by chalk on the sidewalk, are still present.
Soccer games and finger paint
Recollections of carefree activities like soccer games and finger painting.
Ride my bike and play with trains
Memories of riding a bike and playing with trains, symbolic of innocence.
I watched it all slip away
Observing the loss of these childhood experiences and moments.
Please don't feel bad you did nothing wrong
Assuring someone not to feel guilty as they are not at fault.
And promise me you'll keep fighting you're so damn strong
Encouraging the person to keep fighting, emphasizing their strength.
Some nights may be long but you can go on
Acknowledging that some nights may be challenging, but the person can persevere.
Just let yourself be
Advising to let oneself experience emotions and vulnerabilities.
Promise me
Reiterating the importance of making a promise to endure.
I watched the blue skies fade to gray
Noticing the transition from clear blue skies to a gloomy gray.
The rain washed the chalk away
Symbolizing the washing away of joyful memories by rain.
Rusted bikes and finger stains
Describing the aging process through the imagery of rusted bikes and finger stains.
And rained out soccer games
Referring to disrupted soccer games due to rain, symbolizing life's setbacks.
Please don't feel bad you did nothing wrong
Reassuring that there is no need for guilt, emphasizing innocence in the situation.
And promise me you'll keep fighting you're so damn strong
Encouraging continuous strength and resilience in the face of challenges.
Some nights will be long but your heart still beats on
Acknowledging that difficult nights will occur, but the heart continues to beat.
Just let yourself be
Advising acceptance of oneself and the emotions experienced.
Promise me
Reiterating the importance of making and keeping a promise to endure.
It's time to face another day
Highlighting the need to confront a new day despite not feeling okay.
You're not okay but that's okay
Acknowledging the struggle but expressing that it's acceptable not to be okay.
I wish the pain would go away
Expressing a desire for the pain to diminish.
It's just these lonely days get lonelier with rain
Connecting the loneliness to rainy days, intensifying the emotional struggle.
Please don't feel bad you did nothing wrong
Reassuring someone not to feel guilty and emphasizing their innocence.
And think of me when the nights are long
Encouraging thoughts of the speaker during challenging nights.
You still went on and I was here all along
Acknowledging the person's perseverance while the speaker remains supportive.
Get some rest take a breath and let it be
Suggesting rest, taking a breath, and accepting things as they are.
Promise me
Reiterating the importance of making and keeping a promise to endure.
