If I Never Wake Again
Unveiling Unspoken Desires: If I Never Wake Again Meaning
Lyrics
There must be something I could say
Expressing a desire to find the right words or actions to communicate.
And if I never wake again
Contemplating the possibility of not waking up again, suggesting mortality.
Remember me just as I'm breathing before you
Asking to be remembered in the current state, emphasizing authenticity.
The same as all along
Desiring to be remembered consistently, unchanged over time.
I'll hold you from sorrow
Offering emotional support to someone, indicating it's better for them this way.
It's better off this way and
Suggesting acceptance of a situation and the belief that it's for the better.
If I die tomorrow
Considering the possibility of dying soon and pondering the lasting impact.
What of me follows you forever?
Questioning what part of the person will persist and influence others after death.
Unforgiven sins
Acknowledging past wrongdoings that are not forgiven or absolved.
And all that lies beneath my skin
Reflecting on hidden aspects beneath the surface, possibly emotional struggles.
All these things I never told you
Regret for not expressing certain thoughts or feelings to someone.
There must be something I could say
Reiterating the search for words to convey a message or emotion.
And if I never wake again
Revisiting the idea of not waking up again and the importance of being remembered.
Remember me just as I'm breathing before you
Emphasizing the desire to be remembered authentically, true to oneself.
The same as all along
Insisting on consistent remembrance, unchanged over time.
Here I am in color
Presenting oneself honestly, without embellishments or superficial elements.
No luster, glamour or gold
Rejecting external adornments, expressing a preference for authenticity.
I hope you'd remember me
Expressing a hope for genuine remembrance, unaffected by external appearances.
Dressed in shadows, black and white
Describing a self cloaked in shadows, suggesting inner complexities and struggles.
To flatter the faulted soul
Using black and white imagery to depict flaws and imperfections.
You never witnessed me unfold
Noting that certain aspects of the person were never revealed or exposed.
All these things I never told you
Reiterating the regret for undisclosed thoughts or emotions.
