Eternal Reflections: A Son's Unspoken Words
Lyrics
i know it's been a while
I acknowledge that a significant amount of time has passed.
since we've had a talk
We haven't had a conversation for a while.
y'know, a man to man
Expressing a desire for a sincere and meaningful conversation.
a real heart to heart
A wish for a genuine heart-to-heart discussion.
i would call you
Expressing a willingness to reach out.
on the telephone
Referring to a possible phone call.
just to say hi
The intent to say a simple "hi" if circumstances allowed.
if you weren't dead
An acknowledgment of the person being addressed being deceased.
but you are, so i cant, so i dont
Unable to make a phone call due to the person being deceased.
i could say a little prayer but i wont
Choosing not to offer prayers despite the possibility.
just know that it's not your fault
Assuring that the situation is not the deceased person's fault.
that i ruin everything
Admitting a tendency to ruin things since the person's absence.
since you've been away
Reflecting on the lack of communication since the person's departure.
i havent had much to say
Acknowledging a difficulty in finding words to express.
but one thing i need to know
Expressing a need for reassurance and affirmation.
are you still proud of me?
Seeking validation of pride from the deceased person.
when you were alive
Recalling the ability to bring joy to the deceased person while alive.
i could make you smile
Being the cherished and favored individual.
apple of your eye
Highlighting a strong connection and similarity.
we were two of a kind
Admitting shared mistakes and experiences.
you and i have made
Receiving guidance and correction from the deceased person.
all the same mistakes
Acknowledging the continued impact of the person's absence.
you would tell me so
if you weren't dead
Recognizing the finality of the person's death.
but you are and im not
Comparing the difference between the person's state and the speaker's.
i could even the score
Hinting at a potential way to address the imbalance.
it just takes one shot
Reference to a drastic action that could equalize the situation.
but i wont
Choosing not to take a drastic measure.
and when i get like that
Reflecting on thoughts and memories of the deceased person.
i just think of you
Frequently thinking about the deceased person.
yeah, i do that alot
Repeating the behavior of thinking about the person frequently.
so here's my little note to you
Presenting a written message as a form of communication.
it's something i needed to do
Emphasizing the importance of the written message.
and know that i still love
Confirming ongoing love despite uncertainties.
i dont know if i'll see you again
Expressing uncertainty about future reunions.
i hope i will someday
Expressing a hope for a future meeting.
but i'll write this down in case
Preparing for the possibility of not meeting again.
i just wanted you to know
Stating the importance of the deceased person's impact.
that you were my everything
Affirming the profound significance of the person in the speaker's life.
all my life, you were by my side
Reflecting on a lifelong companionship with the person.
i'll do what's right and
Committing to do what is right in honor of the deceased.
make sure your still proud of me
Ensuring a continuation of actions that would make the deceased person proud.
