Breathe
Eternal Longing: A Melodic Journey of Loss and Remembrance
Lyrics
It's been so long since you've gone away
Expressing the passage of a significant amount of time since the person left.
And I know things will never be the same
Acknowledging that the absence has permanently changed the speaker's life.
I break it all down so it will show to me clear
Reflecting on the situation to gain a clear understanding of it.
But all the while I'm wishing you were here
Despite understanding, the speaker wishes for the person to be present.
In my dreams I can see and feel your face
In dreams, the speaker visualizes and senses the presence of the person.
But next to me sits an empty space
An empty space next to the speaker emphasizes the physical absence.
Sometimes this life doesn't make any sense to me
Expressing confusion and frustration about the incomprehensibility of life.
I need some time to heal and some space to breathe
Expressing a need for time and space to cope with the emotional pain.
I'm breathing you in and I'm breathing you out
Continuing to feel the presence of the person through the act of breathing.
As I lay on the floor and I wonder why
Lying on the floor, contemplating the reasons behind the person's death.
The question lingers why did you die
Persisting questions about the circumstances leading to the person's demise.
I thank God for you and the memories
Expressing gratitude for the memories shared with the departed person.
But I still wish you were here with me
Despite gratitude, the speaker desires the continued presence of the person.
I'm breathing you in and I'm breathing you out
Reiteration of the connection through the act of breathing.
Gone away and I pray for the strength to
Expressing the hope for strength to cope with the absence.
Strength to carry on
Specifically, strength to carry on with life despite the emotional challenges.
As I am breathing you in and I'm breathing you out
Repeating the theme of breathing in and out while feeling the person's essence.
I still feel you though you're gone
Despite physical absence, the emotional connection with the person is still felt.
I'm breathing you in and I'm breathing you out
Reiteration of the ongoing process of breathing in and out, symbolizing the enduring connection.
