Swallowed by the Moon
Eternal Love and Farewell in 'Swallowed by the Moon'
Lyrics
I'm sorry you will never know me,
I express regret that you will never fully understand who I am.
But know I always loved you.
Despite this, know that I always harbored love for you.
Will you remember when I kept you safe?
Reflecting on the past, will you recall when I kept you safe?
Will you remember when I made you smile?
Will the memories include times when I brought smiles to your face?
Once again the daylight fades, and I'm swallowed by the moon
The approach of night symbolizes a personal struggle or darkness.
Will tomorrow bring a new day of hope?
Is there hope for a brighter future in the coming day?
Will this experience fill you with rage?
Will this challenging experience evoke feelings of anger within you?
The enemy time, knocks at my home
Time, portrayed as an adversary, confronts me at my doorstep.
I can no longer hide
I can no longer avoid facing the inevitable.
Please forgive me, I never meant to leave
Apology for an unintended departure, seeking forgiveness.
But know that I had you as my final thought
Reassurance that you were in my thoughts until the end.
Will you remember when I held you tight?
Recollection of moments when I held you close.
Will you remember the sound of my voice?
Remembrance of the sound of my voice in your ears.
Once again the daylight fades, and I'm swallowed by the moon
Nightfall repeats, suggesting a recurring struggle or challenge.
Will this experience scar your fragile mind?
Questioning if this experience will leave lasting emotional scars.
Will you remember when we would both laugh?
Reflection on shared laughter in the past.
Memories is all that you have
Memories remain as the only tangible remnants.
And I'm sorry I failed you in life
Apology for perceived failure in providing a better life.
I wanted more for you then I could provide
An acknowledgment of personal limitations in providing for you.
Be strong and make your mother proud
An encouragement to be resilient and make your mother proud.
Don't cry... The tears in your eyes
A plea not to cry, addressing the tears in your eyes.
My time... To say my goodbyes
Recognition that it is my time to bid farewell.
Heaven waits... My soul to arise
Reference to the anticipation of reaching heaven.
Torture, torture... My pain finally dies
The end of personal pain is described as a form of liberation.
Will you remember that I tried my best?
Questioning if you will remember my earnest efforts.
Will you remember the father I was?
Pondering if the fatherly role I played will be remembered.
Once again the daylight fades, and I'm swallowed by the moon
Nightfall recurs, portraying a cyclical struggle or challenge.
Will you look back and smile for me?
Asking if you will look back with a smile on past memories.
Will you remember me when I have gone?
Asking if you will retain memories of me after my departure.
Memories is all that you have
Reiteration that memories are the lasting legacy.
And I'm sorry I failed you in life
Apology for perceived failure, expressing a desire for more.
I wanted more for you then I could provide
Acknowledgment of the aspiration for a better life for you.
Be strong and make your mother proud
An urging to be strong and make your mother proud.
