Somebody's Baby
Unraveling Loss: Somebody's Forgotten Light
Lyrics
He used to be somebody's baby
He was once a cherished and loved individual in someone's life.
Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently
He experienced the comfort of being held close and rocked gently by someone.
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
He was the source of joy and happiness in someone's gaze.
He used to matter, he used to matter
He had significance and importance in the eyes of others.
Someone cared if he lived or died
His existence mattered to someone who cared deeply about whether he lived or died.
Someone held him in their arms - when he cried
Someone provided comfort by holding him in their arms during moments of sorrow.
And when he hurt, someone kept the world away
In times of pain, someone shielded him from the harshness of the world.
Someone loved him, someone loved him
He was genuinely loved by someone.
He used to be somebody's baby
Reiteration of the past when he was someone's beloved.
Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently
Reiterates the care and tenderness he received from someone.
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
Emphasizes his previous role as a significant presence in someone's life.
He used to matter, he used to matter
Highlights his former importance and relevance.
He used to matter
Stresses that he used to have a meaningful existence.
That was then, that was so long ago
Refers to a distant past, indicating a drastic change in his life.
Long before they came and took his soul
Suggests a time when external forces negatively impacted his soul.
Long before he became invisible
Indicates a period before he became unnoticed or disregarded.
That was when, he wasn't human garbage then
Reflects on a time when he was not treated as worthless or disposable.
He used to be somebody's baby
Recalls his past when he was someone's beloved and cared-for individual.
Someone used to hold him close, and rock him gently
Reiterates the closeness and nurturing he experienced in the past.
He used to be the light in someone's eyes
Re-emphasizes his former role as a source of light and joy in someone's eyes.
He used to matter, he used to matter
Repeats the idea that he used to have significance and importance.
He used to matter
Reiterates the notion that he used to matter.
He used to be somebody's baby
Restates the idea that he was once cherished as somebody's baby.
