Sympathy
Sympathy's Raw Emotions: Begging for Life Amidst Despair
Lyrics
I know I come to you only when in need
I approach you only when I am in need
I'm not the best believer
I lack strong faith
Not the most deserving
I don't consider myself the most deserving
But all I have all I am all I can
I offer everything I have, all I am, and all I can for him
For him
Dedicated to someone important
I'd beg you on bended knees for him
Expressing a willingness to plead fervently for him
Precious baby, is your life hanging by a thread?
Concern for someone's life hanging by a thread
All I have all I am all I can
Reiterating the commitment to give everything for him
For him
Repeated expression of readiness to beg for him
I'd beg you on bended knees for him
Continued commitment to plead passionately for him
I've got this curse in my hands
Feeling cursed with the hands causing deterioration
All I touch fades to black
Everything touched fades to black
Turns to dust turns to sand
Things turn to dust and sand upon touch
I've got this curse on my tongue
A curse affecting the sense of taste
All I taste is the rust
All tasted is likened to rust
This decay in my blood
A sense of decay in the blood
I don't like the doctor with the deep long face
Dislike for a pessimistic doctor
Only wants to give us the very worse case
Doctor predicts the worst outcomes
I'd rather shout out and shake him and do anything
Willingness to do anything for him in the face of bad news
For him
Reiterating a passionate plea for him
I'd beg you on bended knees for him
Continued commitment to beg fervently for him
When the moment strikes
Reflection on unexpected moments in life
It takes you by surprise and
Surprise takes one by surprise
Leaves you naked in the face of death and life
Vulnerability in the face of life and death
There is no righteousness in your darkest moment
Acknowledgment that righteousness may not prevail in such moments
We're all equal in the face of what we're most afraid of
Equality in facing fears
And I'm so sorry
An apology for those who didn't survive
For those who didn't make it
Sympathy for mothers left with broken hearts
And for the mommies who are left with their heart breaking
Blank line, possibly for emphasis or transition
Search for the meaning in sores
Searching for meaning in wounds or injuries
The sentences they might form
Exploring the potential sentences formed by wounds
It's the grammar of skin
The importance of understanding the skin's language
Peel it back, let me in
Invitation to peel back layers and reveal oneself
Look for hope in the dark
Searching for hope in darkness
The shadow cast by you heart
Shadow cast by the heart
It's the grammar of faith
Exploring the language of faith
No more rules, no restraint
Freedom from rules and restraints
How anger I would be
Expressing anger if someone took him away
If you'd taken him away
Expressing a wish for wisdom in facing challenges
I wish I was wiser but instead
Gratitude for what one has and expressing thanks
I'll be grateful I'll say thanks
Gratefulness despite a lack of wisdom
For the joy for the love for the smile on his face
Appreciation for joy, love, and smiles
I'd beg you on bended knees for him
Reiterating a plea for him with intense emotion
