Closing Phrase
Tying Loose Strands: Embracing Endings and Visions
Lyrics
Let the author write his closing phrase
Encouraging the author to write the conclusion of his work.
Give him time to find a proper ending
Asking for patience to allow the author to find a suitable ending.
In these solemn days
Referring to a serious or significant time in the author's life.
Annie, leave him to his work
Instructing Annie to let the author focus on his writing.
The typewriter's clicking has filled the house for several months now
Describing the sound of a typewriter that has been active in the house.
Muffled it's making its way through the door
The typewriter noise is audible even through closed doors.
On some days it's frequent and fast with determination
Detailing variations in the typewriter's pace and determination.
On some days the thoughtfulness closes its claw
Expressing how thoughtfulness sometimes slows down the typing process.
And lately that rhythm got slower
Noting a recent slowing down of the typewriter rhythm.
And it feels like this whole work is coming to an end
Suggesting that the author feels the completion of the work is imminent.
And isn't that the most challenging part of it
Highlighting the challenge of concluding a creative endeavor.
When it takes time to tie up all of those loose strands
Emphasizing the time required to resolve various aspects of the work.
When it takes time to tie up all of those loose strands
Repeating the idea of the time-consuming nature of concluding loose ends.
I just want him to feel blithe
Expressing a desire for the author to feel joyous.
With love, his visions and designs
Wishing happiness for the author concerning his creative endeavors.
Open questions clarified
Desiring clarity on unresolved aspects related to love, visions, and designs.
'Bout love, his visions and his strifes
Referencing the struggles and challenges associated with the author's visions.
And Annie in her youth and naivety cannot see
Pointing out Annie's inability to understand the author's dedication.
Why she can't spend more time with that typewriting man
Questioning why Annie doesn't spend more time with the author as he writes.
And how shall she in any way see what drives him, what's inside him
Expressing the difficulty for Annie to comprehend the author's motivations.
She's still far from that urge to preserve and pass on
Highlighting Annie's distance from the urge to preserve and pass on knowledge.
And isn't it strange how perspectives change over the years
Reflecting on the changing perspectives over the years.
Looking down on a man even though he's ahead
Observing the irony of looking down on someone despite their achievements.
Looking down on that man even though he's ahead
Repeating the notion of looking down on the author despite his success.
I just want him to feel blithe
Reiterating the wish for the author to feel joyous.
With love, his visions and designs
Expressing the hope for the author to find happiness in love, visions, and designs.
Open questions clarified
Desiring clarification on open questions related to the author's endeavors.
'Bout love, his visions and his strifes
Referencing the challenges and struggles associated with the author's visions.
