Forever Hold On
Eternal Embrace: Nini Amaral's Melodic Reflections on Love and Loss
Lyrics
Yesterday I had this feeling as if I had to do some healing
Expressing a need for healing and introspection.
But I searched and searched and couldn't find a scar
Unable to find visible wounds or scars despite searching.
I just start following my feet and well, they led me to your street
Following intuition, led to the person's street.
As memories come through the strings on my guitar
Memories triggered by playing the guitar.
Destiny has it's own ways to show us where, oh where we're supposed to be (to be)
Reflection on destiny guiding one to the right path.
Even if we bury something there's no hole big enough to make it disappear
Acknowledging that burying something doesn't erase it.
I'll forever hold on to the way you used to hold me in your arms, your arms
Commitment to holding on to the memory of being held.
I will try to be strong cause the sky that once was ours now is just dark, just dark
Struggling with strength after losing a shared sky.
I'll forever hold on to the way you used to hold me in your arms, your arms
Reiterating the commitment to holding on to past warmth.
I will try to be strong cause the sky that once was ours now is just dark, just dark
Continuing the struggle to be strong in the face of darkness.
oh...
Expression of emotion or realization (oh...).
Last time you closed me the door, left me on the concrete floor
Recalling a past rejection and abandonment.
I'm guessing you didn't learn that from your mom
Suggesting the rejection was unusual or unexpected.
Cause yesterday she said come in
Contrasting with the mother's welcoming attitude.
Though I just said there by her window
Remaining outside despite the invitation.
And she told me she still buys my favorite gum
Connecting with the mother through shared preferences.
She tells me I am so pretty
Receiving compliments and positive remarks.
Asks me if I left the city
Mother's concern about the person's departure from the city.
Cause she feels like I'm the right fit for her son
Mother sees the person as a suitable match for her son.
There wasn't much that I could tell her
Limited ability to comfort or explain to the mother.
That would've made her feel much better
Choosing to offer a comforting hug and acceptance.
So I hug her and say what is done is done
Acknowledging that certain events are irreversible.
Destiny has its own ways to show us where we're supposed to be (to be)
Reiteration of destiny guiding one's path.
Even if we bury something
Emphasizing that burying something doesn't erase it.
There's no hole big enough to make it disappear
Repeating the idea that nothing can truly disappear.
I'll forever hold on to the way you used to hold me in your arms, your arms
Commitment to holding on to the memory of being held.
I will try to be strong cause the sky that once was ours now is just dark, just dark
Continuing the struggle to be strong after a shared loss.
I'll forever hold on to the way you used to hold me in your arms, your arms
Reiterating the commitment to holding on to past warmth.
I will try to be strong cause the sky that once was our star is just dark, just dark
Struggling to be strong as the shared starry sky turns dark.
oh...
Expression of emotion or realization (oh...).
I'll forever hold on to the way you used to hold me in your arms, your arms
Commitment to holding on to the memory of being held.
I will try to be strong cause the sky that once was our star is just dark, just dark
Continuing the struggle to be strong as the shared starry sky darkens.
