Nobel Prize
Uncelebrated Genius: A Father's Legacy in Nobel Shadows
Lyrics
My father changed the world
My father had a significant impact on the world.
But no one gave him prizes
Despite his contributions, he didn't receive recognition or awards.
The scientific world
The scientific community didn't fully understand the extent of his achievements.
Never realized just what he'd done
They failed to realize the importance of what he had accomplished.
He kept me warm
He provided me with warmth, both physically and emotionally.
He kept me warm
Emphasizing the care and support he offered.
My father changed the world
He made various contributions in different ways.
In many shapes and sizes
However, critics and commentators never acknowledged his work.
But critics and their commentators
The recognition he deserved was never given.
Will never celebrate the work he done
They failed to celebrate his achievements.
To keep me warm
His contributions were instrumental in keeping me safe and secure.
Safe and dry
Highlighting the protection and comfort provided by the father.
Safe from harm
He created a safe space, shielding from harm.
And build my home
He played a role in building my home.
I home I know
Expressing familiarity with the concept of home.
I home I loved
Reiterating love and attachment to home.
I hope that old man's watching now
Hoping that his father is observing from beyond.
Father, you get the Nobel Prize
An appeal for recognition and honor through the Nobel Prize.
Father, you get the Nobel Prize
Repetition of the desire for the Nobel Prize.
Father, you get the Nobel Prize
Emphasis on the yearning for acknowledgment.
And no one realized
No one realized the significance of his father's contributions.
My father ruled the world
His father once held a position of influence.
But time will take its prizes
Time has taken its toll, and recognition has faded.
The scientific boy with big ideas
The speaker's father had ambitious ideas but faced compromises.
Beset by compromises when I came along
Compromises occurred when the speaker came into the picture.
A foolish boy
Admitting to past foolishness or naivety.
My troubled mind
Reflecting on a troubled state of mind.
My wayward ways
Describing wayward tendencies.
But still you came
Despite flaws, the father continued to support and guide.
To take me home
The father took the speaker back to a place of comfort.
A home I loved
Expressing love for the home provided by the father.
I hope you're watching over now
Hoping the father is watching over from the afterlife.
Father, you get the Nobel Prize
Repetition of the desire for the Nobel Prize.
Father, you get the Nobel Prize
Reiteration of the plea for recognition.
Father, you get the Nobel Prize
Emphasizing the longing for the Nobel Prize.
And after all this time
Even after a significant amount of time has passed.
I realise
Realizing the importance of the father's contributions.
