Seth's Song
Sacrifice Unveiled: Seth's Journey for Red, White, and Blue
Lyrics
That boy down the hall says he leaves early fall
Expressing that a person nearby plans to leave early in the fall.
And he swears he'll come back a changed man
Emphasizing the belief that the person will return transformed after a significant experience.
His high school dreams were colored in Army green
Reflecting on the individual's dreams influenced by military service.
And he's headed straight for over seas, oh yeah
Indicating the person's immediate journey to a foreign land.
He wakes up at 3 am
Describing the early morning routine of the person, preparing for duty.
Straps on his boots, he's out the door again
Highlighting the commitment and dedication as the person leaves for duty again.
He says goodbye to his family, his kid
Depicting an emotional farewell to family, including a child.
And they all pray he comes back home again, oh yeah
Expressing the family's collective hope for the person's safe return.
But you don't know what he sees when he closes his eyes
Stressing that outsiders are unaware of the person's traumatic experiences.
Or the demons that he fights each and every night
Acknowledging the internal struggles and battles the person faces nightly.
Just so we can do what it is that we want to
Linking the individual's sacrifices to the freedom for others to pursue their desires.
Yeah well he'd give his life for the red, white, and blue
Affirming the person's willingness to sacrifice their life for the country.
He stands out on that corner every day
Depicting the person's daily presence on a street corner, seeking help.
Just begs for a stranger to give him a break
Clarifying that the person desires understanding and empathy, not just financial support.
He don't mean in your pocket, when he says that he wants change
Explaining that the person seeks emotional well-being rather than monetary assistance.
All he wants is to feel okay
Highlighting the person's fundamental need for emotional stability.
But you don't know what he sees when he closes his eyes
Reiterating the hidden trauma the person experiences when closing their eyes.
Or the demons that he fights each and every night
Acknowledging the ongoing struggles and psychological battles faced each night.
Just so we can do what it is that we want to
Connecting the person's sacrifices to the freedom others enjoy.
Yeah well he'd give his life for the red, white, and blue
Reaffirming the person's dedication to sacrificing for the nation.
5150 now he's on the phone
Introducing a crisis point (5150) where the person reaches out for support.
Just tryin' not to feel alone
Expressing the person's struggle with loneliness and a desire for connection.
He don't mean where he grew up, when he says he wants to go home
Clarifying that the person's idea of home is not their place of origin but a state of emotional well-being.
He's on the edge, and says God only knows
Describing the person's precarious mental state, known only to God.
But you don't know what he sees when he closes his eyes
Reiterating the unseen challenges the person faces when closing their eyes.
Or the demons that he fights each and every night
Acknowledging the ongoing struggles and inner conflicts faced by the person.
Just so we can do what it is that we want to
Connecting the person's sacrifices to the collective freedom enjoyed by society.
Yeah well he'd give his life for the red, white, and blue
Emphasizing the person's commitment to giving their life for the nation.
Yeah and he gave his life for the red, white, and blue
Affirming that the person indeed sacrificed their life for the nation.
