Your Guitar
Echoes of Love: A Daughter's Anthem on Six Strings
Lyrics
Terminal and pain
Expressing a state of finality and suffering
Your ambition stayed the same
Highlighting a consistent ambition
You picked up an old guitar
Introducing the action of picking up an old guitar
To try and make the best of it
Using the guitar to cope and create something positive
Sang to me everyday
Describing the act of singing to the speaker every day
Boy, what I would do to stay
Expressing a desire to prolong the experience
Listening to you shape me into who I am today
Acknowledging the influence of the singer on the speaker's identity
So there lies your guitar
Referring to the guitar left behind
Sitting in my room
Locating the guitar in the speaker's room
Stained from a picture I drew ya
Indicating a stain on the guitar from a picture drawn by the speaker
Tapped on for 10 years
Emphasizing the duration the speaker has had the guitar
Every time I pick it up
Highlighting the regularity of picking up the guitar
I can hear your voice sound through
Connecting the act of playing the guitar to hearing the voice of the person it reminds them of
That good ole six string
Describing the guitar as a traditional six-string instrument
That'll always remind me of you
Stating the enduring association of the guitar with the person
A daddy's girl no doubt
Expressing a close father-daughter relationship
Yeah, I was all about
Affirming the speaker's commitment to embodying the qualities of the person
Turning into everything that encompasses you
Describing the speaker's transformation into the person's essence
A strong and loving man
Characterizing the person as strong and loving
And a good ole hockey fan
Highlighting the person's fondness for hockey
A lover of life
Listing the person's loves as life, music, and bright things
Music and all things bright
Emphasizing the person's positive and vibrant interests
So there lies your guitar
Reiterating the presence of the guitar in the speaker's room
Sitting in my room
Reaffirming the stain and connection to a drawn picture on the guitar
Stained from a picture I drew ya
Recalling the prolonged tap on the guitar for a decade
Tapped on for 10 years
Repeating the connection between playing the guitar and hearing the person's voice
Every time I pick it up
Stressing the enduring nature of the association with the six-string instrument
I can hear your voice sound through
Reiterating the emotional connection when picking up the guitar
That good ole six string
Affirming the lasting memory linked to the six-string guitar
That'll always remind me of you
Emphasizing the enduring reminder of the person
Even though you're gone
Acknowledging the absence of the person but attempting to maintain a connection through singing
I still try to sing along
Expressing the ongoing effort to engage with the person's musical legacy
To the sound of music coming from
Referring to the source of music as the departed person's guitar
Your guitar
Reaffirming the location of the guitar in the speaker's room
Sitting in my room
Repeating the details of the stained guitar and the drawn picture
Stained from a picture I drew ya
Reiterating the ten-year connection with tapping on the guitar
Tapped on for 10 years
Emphasizing the emotional resonance when picking up the guitar
Every time I pick it up
Stressing the perpetual connection between playing the guitar and hearing the person's voice
I can hear your voice sound through
Affirming the enduring memory associated with the six-string guitar
That good ole six string
Reiterating the constant reminder of the person through the guitar
That'll always remind me
Affirming the lasting impact and memory linked to the person
That'll always remind me of you
Reiterating the perpetual reminder through the six-string guitar
Of you
Affirming the enduring memory and connection with the person
