Carry On
Carry On: A Heartfelt Journey of Loss and Resilience
Lyrics
The bullet rips through my heart
The impact of a significant emotional or painful experience is likened to a bullet piercing through the speaker's heart.
If I ever had one
The speaker questions if they ever truly possessed a heart or a strong emotional connection.
You're the one time forgot
The person addressed in the song was forgotten or overlooked at some point.
Still I wear this smile for you
Despite the forgotten nature of the person, the speaker still puts on a facade of happiness or positivity for them.
Pictures fade as memories blur
As time passes, the clarity of past experiences in the form of pictures fades away, blending into blurry memories.
It's been much too long
A significant amount of time has elapsed since the speaker had a meaningful interaction or connection with the addressed person.
Such a waste to cleanse the earth
The speaker laments that it would be unfortunate and wasteful to eradicate everyone they have ever known from the world.
Of everyone I've ever known
Expressing the weight and value of the speaker's relationships with everyone they've encountered in life.
Eyes turn to rust

Find your peace now

But I promise you I'll carry on

I bet you'd love this band I found

Birthdays, holidays, it's not the same

We really had good times
