A Patriarch, a Genius, Too
Patriarch & Genius: A Bond Beyond Miles
Lyrics
Remember when we picked up that 5-speed in the UK?
Reflecting on a memory of acquiring a 5-speed vehicle in the UK.
We knew we'd have to drive on the left side of the road that day
Awareness of the need to drive on the left side of the road.
For about a mile there wasn't a curb you didn't scrape
Acknowledging incidents of scraping curbs while driving for a mile.
So we decided it would be better for you to navigate
Decision to let the other person navigate due to difficulties.
To them, you a patriarch, a genius, too
Describing the person as a patriarch and a genius from an external perspective.
To me, you are a friend I will see again soon
Expressing a personal connection, considering the person as a friend to be reunited with soon.
Remember that time we talked about how the end was coming soon
Recollection of discussing the imminent end and observing the moon through a telescope.
cs we looked through your telescope at a close-up of the moon?
Abbreviated as "cs," discussing using a moon photo for a song.
I took a picture of that moon and I used it for a song
Creating a song inspired by a close-up photo of the moon.
You heard that one before you left
Mentioning that the person heard the song before departing.
You'll hear this one before too long
Assuring that the person will hear another song soon.
To them, you are a patriarch, a genius, too
Reiterating the external view of the person as a patriarch and genius.
To me, you are a friend I will see again soon
Reaffirming the personal connection, anticipating a future meeting.
Remember that time when we watched 2001
Recalling a shared experience of watching the movie "2001: A Space Odyssey."
cnd everyone else fell asleep?
Noting that everyone else fell asleep during the movie.
But you and I, we didn't blink ‘til it was done
Highlighting attentiveness throughout the movie until its completion.
When you come back that's where we'll meet
Expressing a plan to meet at the place where they watched the movie upon the person's return.
To me, you are a patriarch, a genius, too
Personalizing the perception of the person as a patriarch and genius.
To them, you are a friend they will see soon
Indicating that others also see the person as a friend they will see soon.
To us, you are a patriarch, a genius, too
Jointly acknowledging the person as both a patriarch, a genius, and a friend to the speaker.
To us, you are a friend we will see soon
Expressing collective anticipation of reuniting with the person soon.
You are a patriarch, a genius, too
Summarizing the person's identity as both a patriarch and a genius.
To me, you a friend I will see again soon
Reiterating the personal connection, expressing the intention to see the person again soon.
