Light Years: Illuminating the Journey of Loss and Reflection

Lyrics

I've used hammers made out of wood

I've used tools, possibly symbolic of efforts or methods in life

I have played games with pieces and rules

Engaged in games with rules, reflecting life's challenges

I've deciphered tricks at the bar

Solved mysteries or challenges at a bar, metaphorical or real

But now you're gone

Expressing loss or separation from someone

I haven't figured out why

Reflecting on the uncertainty of the departure

I've come up with riddles

Created puzzles or enigmas

And jokes about war

Used humor to cope with or discuss war

I've figured out numbers and what they're for

Understood numerical concepts and their purpose

I've understood feelings

Comprehended emotions

And I've understood words

Grasped the meaning of words

But how could you be taken away

Questioning the unfairness of the person's departure


And wherever you've gone

Reflecting on the departed person's whereabouts

And wherever we might go

Contemplating future destinations

It don't seem fair

Expressing a sense of injustice or unfairness

Today just disappeared

Noticing the sudden disappearance of a significant day

Your lights reflected now

Acknowledging the person's influence or impact

Reflected from a far

Recognition of influence from a distance

We were but stones

Metaphorically portraying humanity as stones

Your light made us stars

The departed person's influence elevated others


With heavy breath

Experiencing deep emotions

Awaken regrets

Awakening feelings of regret

Back pages and days alone they could've been spent

Reflecting on missed opportunities or lost time

Together but we were miles apart

Expressing physical and emotional distance

Every inch between us becomes light years now

The gap between individuals feels vast like light years

No time to be void

Emphasizing the importance of the present moment

Or save up on life

Encouraging to live fully without saving experiences

Uh you've got to spend it all

Advocating for the utilization of time without reservation


And wherever you've gone

Continued contemplation on the departed person's whereabouts

And wherever we might go

Considering potential future destinations

It don't seem fair

Reiterating the sense of injustice or unfairness

You seem to like it here

Noting the departed person's apparent contentment

Your lights reflected now

Recognizing the lasting impact or influence

Reflected from a far

Acknowledging the continued reflection from a distance

We were but stones

Repeating the metaphor of humanity as stones

Your light made us stars

Reiterating the transformative impact of the departed person


And wherever you've gone

Continued contemplation on potential future destinations

And wherever we might go

Reiterating the sense of injustice or unfairness

It don't seem fair

Reflecting on the sudden disappearance of the significant day

Today just disappeared

Reiterating the sense of injustice or unfairness

Your lights reflected now

Acknowledging the lasting impact or influence

Reflected from a far

Continued reflection from a distance

We were but stones

Repeating the metaphor of humanity as stones

Your light made us stars

Reiterating the transformative impact of the departed person
