No Man's Land
Navigating Life's Void: No Man's Land by Robbie Snowden
Lyrics
One day you're by my side
Expressing closeness and companionship in the past.
Showing me you're happy and healthy
Observing a positive and healthy state of the person.
Telling me how everything'll be okay
Receiving reassurance and encouragement for the future.
Then before I know it, you slip away
Unexpectedly losing connection or contact with the person.
Even though you've left before me
Acknowledging a previous departure of the person.
I know you're waiting and I
Believing that the person is waiting after passing away.
Don't have to fill you in
No need to update the person on current life events as they are aware.
'Cause I know you've been watching
Assuming the person is observing from a spiritual perspective.
Your body rests in peace underground
Physical body at rest in the ground after death.
While your soul continues to live up above
Soul continuing to exist in a higher realm after death.
And I'm on this bridge between the two
Feeling caught between the physical and spiritual worlds.
Which feels like
Describing the in-between state as a metaphorical "No man's land."
No man's land without you
Expressing the emotional void and emptiness without the person.
It's just another part of life, nobody looks forward to
Acknowledging the inevitability of facing challenging life phases.
Although you're not with me physically, I know your spirit guides me
Believing in the spiritual guidance of the departed person.
Now every time I cry, the first tear falls from the left eye
Symbolizing a specific connection with the departed through tears.
And when I'm alone in my thoughts, I know it's you beside me
Feeling the presence of the person during moments of solitude.
Your body rests in peace underground
Repeating the physical and spiritual duality after death.
While your soul continues to live up above
Reiterating the enduring nature of the soul beyond the physical.
And I'm on this bridge between the two
Expressing the ongoing struggle between two realms.
Which feels like
Repeating the metaphor of being in a spiritual limbo.
No man's land without you
Reinforcing the sense of emptiness and disorientation.
All I can do is wait until
Waiting for a moment or event that defines a personal transition.
My moment's been chosen
Awaiting the occurrence of a significant life event.
When I will receive wings of my own
Anticipating a transformative experience symbolized by wings.
And hop on the one-way vessel home
Expressing a desire to embark on a journey towards an afterlife.
All I can do is wait until
Repeating the theme of waiting for a defining moment.
My moment's been chosen
Reiterating the expectation of a significant life event.
When I will receive wings of my own
Expressing the anticipation of a transition to a spiritual realm.
And hop on the one-way vessel home
Continuing the metaphor of a one-way journey to an afterlife.
When I see you again
Looking forward to a reunion with the departed person.
Guiding light, end of the tunnel
Describing the departed person as a guiding light at the end of challenges.
I'll embrace you and never let you go
Expressing a longing to embrace and hold onto the departed person forever.
Our love remains eternal
Affirming the eternal nature of the love for the departed.
