Wedding Player
Echoes of Love and Loss: Seed Holden's Wedding Player Tale
Lyrics
I played so many weddings
The singer has performed at numerous weddings.
But I never had me one
Despite playing at many weddings, they've never had their own.
I've seen so many breakups
They've witnessed several breakups.
How many I had I lost my count
The number of breakups they've seen is so high that they've lost count.
I'm watching my family
The singer observes their family members gradually leaving, one by one.
Slowly leaving, one by one
Continuing to see family departures.
Now the thing that scares me the most
They fear the idea of not having someone beside them at the end of their life.
I won't have anyone to die by her side
The concern revolves around lacking companionship during their final moments.
I'm sitting at the gas station
Reflecting on being at a gas station, a gathering spot after musical performances.
Where we gather after the gigs
Specifically recalling conversations held at this gas station.
Talking about our lives
Discussing life experiences during these conversations.
Bout all the colleagues from or league
Talking about colleagues or peers from their field.
Well each year all of a sudden
Noting that each passing year, individuals from their circle are disappearing.
They're dropping out one by one
The gradual loss of acquaintances or friends.
There's just a few of us on that big pitch
There are only a few remaining individuals in their circle, still enjoying themselves.
Still having our fun
Despite the reduced numbers, they're still finding enjoyment.
At night I drive through the streets
Driving through streets where they shared moments of joy, love, and affection.
Where we used to walk and laugh and kiss
Recalling moments of walking, laughter, and kissing in those streets.
There where the town gets all dark
Describing a location where the town becomes dark and perhaps eerie.
I'm just a lonely rider in the mist
Feeling like a solitary figure in the misty darkness.
My mind goes crazy and heavy
Their mind is overwhelmed with buzzing thoughts.
With the thoughts buzzing around
Questioning why their partner left them adrift and feeling lost.
Why you just left me drift away
Expressing a sense of being lost and untraceable after the breakup.
Now I'm nowhere to be found
The individual feels they've disappeared or become unidentifiable.
I'm sitting at the gas station
Revisiting the gas station where they used to gather after performances.
Where we used to gather after the gigs
Remembering the past conversations and gatherings at the gas station.
Thinking about my life
Reflecting on their life in solitude, being the only one remaining from their group.
Now I'm the only one left from my league
Realizing they're the sole survivor or last individual left from their former circle or community.
