Who Knows After All
Eternal Farewell: Sonya Kitchell's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Let us drink one last glass of wine
Expressing a farewell gesture by proposing to share one last moment together with a glass of wine.
I will wish you luck in all you find
Wishing good fortune in the future endeavors and experiences.
I'm not sorry, this is no mistake
Asserting that the current situation is intentional and not regrettable.
For I can only give the things you take
Acknowledging a limitation in the ability to give more than what is taken.
For I'm going away for a long, long time
Indicating a prolonged absence and uncertainty about what will be discovered during that time.
And I do not know what I'm bound to find
Expressing uncertainty about the outcomes or experiences awaiting in the future.
Sunlight in the afternoon
Mentioning positive elements like sunlight and hope in contrast to the impending departure.
Hope in a darkened room
Highlighting hope in a situation that seems dark and challenging.
Love in a lingering tomb
Describing love in a setting that may seem somber or inactive.
Who knows after all?
Pondering the uncertainty and unpredictability of what will come next.
So let us make love this one last time
Proposing an intimate moment as a final expression of closeness.
As our hairs and hearts intertwine
Symbolizing a deep connection through the intertwining of hairs and hearts.
I'm not sorry, this is no mistake
Reiterating that the current situation is intentional and not a mistake.
But I fear my heart is bound to break
Expressing a fear that the speaker's heart may suffer in the process.
For I'm going away for a long, long time
Repeating the theme of a prolonged departure, emphasizing the uncertainty ahead.
And I do not know what I'm bound to find
Reiterating the uncertainty about the discoveries awaiting during the absence.
A plastic heart at my feet
Describing a heart metaphorically as plastic, possibly indicating emotional resilience.
Lost on a lonely street
Depicting a state of being lost and alone in a metaphorical lonely street.
With this song in my head on repeat
Connecting the emotional experience with a repetitive presence of a particular song in the mind.
Who knows after all?
Reflecting on the uncertainty and mystery of what lies ahead.
If you're searching any way to find me
Suggesting a way to be found by throwing the speaker's name into the vastness of the sea.
Throw my name out to the waves in the sea
Encouraging an active search for the speaker by utilizing the natural elements.
And you, you will find me
Assuring that the speaker can be found through concerted effort.
But you cannot bind, you cannot bind me
Asserting that the speaker cannot be constrained or tied down.
For I'm going away for a long, long time
Repeating the theme of a prolonged absence, underscoring the uncertainty of the future.
And I do not know what I'm bound to find
Restating the uncertainty about what the speaker will encounter during the extended period away.
