I Carry You
Echoes of Unspoken Bonds: 'I Carry You' by Sem van Loon
Lyrics
How can I explain
Expressing difficulty in explaining something
At an early age
Reflecting on experiences from an early age
What I feel?
Pondering how to convey emotions
What is real?
Questioning the nature of reality
You remind me of who I thought I should be
Comparing someone to an idealized version of oneself
If I could you'd be my best friend till the end
Desiring a lasting friendship
But what if I regret?
Raising concerns about potential regrets
Tried it for thousand times
Repeated attempts with a sense of familiarity
But you feel like a stranger in mine
Feeling a sense of estrangement despite efforts
But I carry you
Declaring the commitment to carry the other person
Like you carry me
Highlighting reciprocity in emotional support
Tried it for thousand times
Reiterating persistent efforts despite challenges
But you feel like a stranger in mine
Emphasizing a lingering sense of unfamiliarity
But I carry you
Continuing the commitment to carry the other
Like you carry me
Reiterating the mutual support in the relationship
You took me to every place
Acknowledging shared experiences and places
I should be happy
Expressing the expectation of happiness
Look at we made
Reflecting on achievements together
This is foul to say
Recognizing a challenge in expressing happiness
It's not that simple as 'yes' or 'no' (What I feel)
Stating the complexity of emotions (What I feel)
It's a feeling I can't control (What is real)
Acknowledging a lack of control over emotions (What is real)
Tried it for thousand times
Continuing efforts despite persistent challenges
But you feel like a stranger in mine
Reiterating the feeling of estrangement
But I carry you
Affirming the commitment to carry the other
Like you carry me
Highlighting the reciprocal nature of support
Tried it for thousand times
Persisting in carrying the other despite difficulties
But you feel like a stranger in mine
Repeating the sense of the other as a stranger
But I carry you
Reaffirming the commitment to mutual support
Like you carry me
Stressing the reciprocal nature of the relationship
Tried it for thousand times
Continuing efforts with resilience
But you feel like a stranger in mine
Reiterating the feeling of estrangement
But I carry you
Persisting in carrying the other emotionally
Like you carry me
Emphasizing mutual support despite challenges
I Carry You
Final declaration of carrying the other
