It Broke the Boy's Back
Unspoken Echoes: A Melodic Tale of Self-Discovery and Resilience
Lyrics
So say what you want to
Expressing a willingness to hear others' opinions or statements.
You have said enough
Suggesting that the listener has already spoken extensively and there's no need for further words.
I'll sing for you always
Committing to sing for someone consistently.
If you can't save yourself
Offering support, but only if the person can't save themselves.
Candence sets in the moment I look away
Describing the onset of a rhythmic pattern at the moment of distraction or avoidance.
For my tear soaked pillow no longer holds my head
Indicating that the tear-soaked pillow no longer provides comfort or solace.
So I reach out
Reaching out, possibly for help or connection.
My conscience will keep me awake
Acknowledging that conscience will prevent peaceful rest.
So I breathe in
Emphasizing the act of breathing, possibly as a means of coping.
I strive for this sacrifice
Expressing a commitment to a challenging or selfless act.
So I reach out
Continuing to reach out, possibly despite challenges.
I hold myself up anyway
Maintaining resilience and self-support despite difficulties.
I breathe you in
Absorbing the presence or essence of someone or something.
I'll say what I want to
Reiterating the right to express personal thoughts or feelings.
While at a loss for words
Experiencing a difficulty in finding words or expressing oneself.
So say what you want to
Repeating the invitation for open communication.
You have said enough
Implying that the listener has already communicated more than necessary.
As long as you're okay
Ensuring the well-being of someone as long as they are fine.
As long as you can dwell
Allowing someone to remain in their current state.
I'll sing for you always
Committing to continuous singing for someone.
But you can't save me now
Recognizing that the person being sung for can't offer help in return.
So I reach out
Continuing to reach out, potentially for connection or assistance.
My conscience will keep me awake
Highlighting the impact of conscience on sleep and peace of mind.
So I breathe in
Reiterating the act of breathing, possibly as a form of endurance.
I strive for this sacrifice
Striving for a challenging or self-sacrificial goal.
So I reach out
Continuing to reach out and seek support.
I hold myself up anyway
Maintaining self-support despite challenges.
I breathe you in
Absorbing the presence or essence of someone or something again.
I breathe you in
Repeating the act of absorbing someone's presence or essence.
As you breathe me out.
Suggesting a reciprocal relationship where one person's presence is exchanged with another's absence.
