Requiem on Repeat
Eternal Echoes: A Requiem for Love's Unseen Presence
Lyrics
This is a requiem for a love that passed
This marks a requiem for a love that has ended.
A love that was meant to last
Refers to a love that was expected to endure.
This is the mourning of a dream
Expressing grief over a shattered dream.
Beyond the hope of all it seems
Describing a dream that appears hopeless to revive.
And though I look and you're not found
Despite searching, the loved one is not found.
I cannot put you in the ground
The inability to let go and bury the memories.
This is a requiem for a love that's fled
Another requiem, this time for a love that has fled.
It won't rise, nor is it dead
Emphasizes that the love won't revive, nor is it entirely gone.
May eternal light shine upon them
A wish for eternal light upon the departed love.
May perpetual light shine upon them
A repetition of the desire for perpetual light.
This is a requiem for a love anew
Introducing a requiem for a new, possibly unfulfilled, love.
You hoped we'd share, and I did too
Acknowledging shared hopes that may not come to fruition.
This is the crying for a home
Expressing sorrow for the loss of a comforting home.
The warmest space I've ever known
Describing a cherished, warm space.
And though I slip away without a sound
Despite departing silently, the loved one won't remain buried.
You will not stay under the ground
Reiterating the resistance of the loved one to stay buried.
This is a requiem for a love that's stalled
Marking a requiem for a love facing obstacles and stagnation.
Which tries to rise, but just can't fall
Describing a love that struggles to rise but can't fall.
May eternal light shine upon them
Wishing eternal light for the troubled love.
May perpetual light shine upon them
Repeating the wish for perpetual light.
Though I slip away without a sound
Reiterating the idea of departing silently, but not staying buried.
You will not stay under the ground
Emphasizing that the departed won't remain underground.
Your spirit floats in as my muse
Describing the departed's spirit as a source of inspiration.
Do you come to inspire of confuse?
Pondering whether the spirit comes to inspire or confuse.
I send a eulogy each time
Sending a eulogy, a tribute, each time in remembrance.
And choose our words that seem to rhyme
Choosing words that seem to rhyme in crafting the eulogy.
But though I look and you're not found
Despite searching, the loved one is not found.
I cannot put you in the ground
Reiterating the difficulty of letting go and burying the memories.
May eternal light shine upon them
Wishing eternal light for the departed love.
May perpetual light shine upon them
Repeating the wish for perpetual light.
