Something I Lost
Rising from Despair: Peter Bruntnell's 'Something I Lost' Reflection
Lyrics
Today, today I was down
Expressing a state of sadness or low spirits experienced on the day mentioned.
No-one around pulling me out
Feeling isolated, with no one available to offer support or assistance.
But I don't care if I drown
Indifference towards the possibility of facing challenges or difficulties, even to the point of drowning metaphorically.
I'm over the worst and looking back out
Having overcome a difficult situation and now reflecting on it.
Just something I lost, just something I lost
Reflecting on an intangible loss, possibly emotional or personal.
They say that time will repay
Belief in the concept that time will eventually bring redemption and balance to life's ups and downs.
All the dark hours and clear skies away
Acknowledging the cyclical nature of life, with both challenging times and clear, positive moments.
That's not how I want to feel
Expressing a desire not to experience a prescribed emotional response to time's healing influence.
Don't want to heal over this day
Resisting the process of emotional healing related to a specific day or event.
Just something I lost, just something I lost
Reiterating the sense of loss mentioned earlier in the song.
You were really here, thanks for the way
Expressing gratitude for someone's presence and impact on the speaker's life.
You made us all feel we belong
Highlighting the inclusive and unifying influence of the person being thanked.
All that I can say now that you're gone
Reflecting on the absence of the person and the emotions that arise from their departure.
Your memory will always live on
Acknowledging that the memory of the departed individual will endure and continue to influence those left behind.
Today, today I was down
Repeating the initial expression of feeling down on the same day.
No-one around pulling me out
Reiterating the sense of isolation and lack of support during a difficult time.
But I don't care if I drown
Repeating the indifference towards potential challenges, emphasizing the speaker's resilience.
I'm over the worst and looking back out
Reiterating the overcoming of difficulties and looking back on the past.
Just something I lost, just something I lost
Reiterating the theme of an intangible loss experienced on the mentioned day.
