Your Last Words
Echoes of Departure: Unveiling Life's Last Words in Paul Jacobs' Melody
Lyrics
You're on your way back home, just like you used to do
You're on your way back home, reminiscing about past habits.
Back when this all felt exciting, back when this all felt so new
Recalling a time when everything felt new and exciting.
Like all those times in the city when everyone forgot your name
Reflecting on instances in the city when people forgot your name.
And you were sleeping in the corner and everyday you'd do the same
Describing a period of anonymity, sleeping in a corner repeatedly.
Well I think you got it now
Expressing confidence that the person has learned from their experiences.
Well I think you got it now
-Well I think you got it now
-Now you're going back for summer, you always stay there for a week
Planning to return for summer, with a history of staying for a week.
Every night sleep on the sofa, add to the list of things you need
Every night spent on the sofa, accumulating a list of necessities.
Just like that old man's daughter when she went running out of town
Drawing a parallel to an old man's daughter who left town abruptly.
You would talk but never saw her, don't think she wanted you around
Communication without seeing the old man's daughter, implying avoidance.
Well I think you got it now
Reiterating the belief that the person has gained understanding.
Well I think you got it now
-Well I think you got it now
-Well I think you got it now
Continuing the expression of confidence in the person's growth.
Well I think you got it now
-Well I think you got it now
-Well I think you got it now
Repeating the assertion that the individual has acquired wisdom.
Well I think you got it now
-Well I think you got it now
-These were your last words
Declaring the preceding lines as the person's last words.
These were your last words
-Well I think you got it now
Finalizing the conviction that the individual has finally understood.
Well I think you got it now
