Lyrics
It didn't last much longer than the famous blink of an eye
Reflecting on a brief moment, comparing it to the fleeting nature of life.
And all that's left are memories and a feeble rest of life
Life is reduced to memories, with little time left.
I make my peace and think of all those yesteryears we shared
Finding peace by reminiscing about shared experiences from the past.
December daylight fades away the syringe is prepared
Preparing for the inevitable, possibly a medical procedure.
My breath is getting shorter
Physical decline is evident through shortness of breath.
My moves are getting slow
Movement becomes slow, indicating the approach of the end.
My light is turning pale, I know it's time to go
The diminishing light symbolizes approaching death.
So join me for the last mile and stay here till the end
Inviting others to accompany in the final moments.
I'm tired but I am scared now
Expressing weariness and fear, seeking strength.
Give me just a little strength
Pleading for support to endure the challenges ahead.
No farewell in the hallway
No formal goodbyes; preferring presence over farewells.
Just hold me till I close my eyes and leave from here
Asking for companionship until the last breath is taken.
A quiet room, four tiled walls
Describing the setting as a quiet room with medical staff.
And people dressed in green
Observing medical personnel and surroundings.
I couldn't tell if behind their masks
Uncertainty about the empathy behind the medical masks.
They commiserate with me
Questioning if others share the emotional burden.
I turn my head, I see your tears
Noticing tears, possibly from a loved one, adding to the emotional weight.
As they're sparkling in the light
Describing the visual impact of tears in the light.
My body's numb
Sensations of the body numbing, seeking courage.
Come give me some courageousness tonight
Requesting emotional support for bravery.
My mind is turning slower
Mental processes slowing down as death nears.
My heart is beating low
Physical and emotional exhaustion reflected in a weakened heartbeat.
My lids are heavy-weight, I know it's time to go
Describing the weightiness of closing eyelids, signaling the end.
I'm just a little scared now
Expressing fear and the need for continued presence.
So stay with me till the end
Requesting companionship until the final moments.
No farewell in the hallway
Reiterating the preference for presence over formal goodbyes.
Just hold me till I close my eyes leave and from here
Asking to be held until the last moments and departure.
