My Last Day
Embracing Life's Last Symphony: My Last Day by Matt Andersen
Lyrics
I'd knock on the door to see my mother
I would visit my mother and express gratitude for raising me well.
And thank her for raising me right
Expressing thanks to his mother for instilling good values during upbringing.
I'd pick up the phone and call all my old lovers
Contacting past lovers to resolve any lingering conflicts or issues.
Tell them there's no need to fight
Assuring old lovers that there's no need for conflict or animosity.
What would I do, what would I do
Expressing contemplation about hypothetical actions on his last day.
I wouldn't care about the change in my pocket
Indicating a lack of concern about financial matters or material possessions.
I wouldn't worry about the bills that I owe
Not worrying about outstanding bills or financial obligations.
When I close that door, I'm not gonna lock it
Deciding not to lock the door as a symbolic act of leaving everything behind.
I've gotta go, I've gotta go
Acknowledging the inevitability of departure and the need to move on.
Bye bye, baby so long
Bidding farewell to a significant other with a "bye bye" and "so long."
Turn out the lights, it's alright to be gone
Suggesting a sense of acceptance and calmness about leaving.
So long I'm going away
Expressing the intention to depart, embracing the idea of going away.
That's what I'd do with my very last day
Summarizing the envisioned actions on the last day, focusing on departure.
I'd call my best friend and give him my best
Planning to contact and share thoughts with the best friend.
Fill up the tank and keep heading west
Preparing for a journey by filling up the tank and heading west.
Spend the evening chasing the sun
Spending time chasing the sun and reflecting on life's journey.
Thinking back on the races we've run
Recalling and contemplating the experiences and challenges of life.
I'd take a walk by the Saint John River
Choosing to take a reflective walk along the Saint John River.
And let my memories drift downstream
Allowing memories to flow away symbolically with the drifting stream.
I'd take a deep breath and remember
Deeply breathing in and acknowledging the transient nature of life.
Life is but a dream, life is but a dream
Reflecting on the ephemeral nature of life, comparing it to a dream.
