Don't Ask Me Why
Unraveling Pain: Echoes of Loss and Starting Afresh
Lyrics
Found another bird today
Discovery of another dead bird
Lying dead on the driveway
Bird found deceased on the driveway
35 this week alone
35 dead birds found this week alone
A tiny pile of tiny bones
Reference to a small pile of bird bones
Something oozing through the soil
Something unsettling emerging from the soil
An ancient rage is nearing boil
An ancient anger or frustration is intensifying
And I donu0027t, I donu0027t want to say it
Reluctance to express a difficult truth
Do I have to say it?
Questioning the necessity of verbalizing the truth
Found her by the window in a watery stare
Discovery of someone in a distressed state
Pages lying everywhere
Scattered pages suggesting emotional turmoil
She donu0027t know what to call this pain
Character experiencing an indescribable pain
Cause she donu0027t know what I found in the rain
The speaker found something significant in the rain
Please donu0027t, please donu0027t make me say it
Plea not to force the speaker to express it
Leave it behind, donu0027t ask me why
Encouragement to leave difficult things behind
Donu0027t ask me why
Emphasizing not to ask for reasons
Just leave it behind, donu0027t ask me why
Reiteration of leaving the past without questioning
Donu0027t ask me why
Repetition of the advice not to ask for explanations
Under the stairs I found a light
Discovery of a light source under the stairs
We leave tonight
Decision to leave tonight
We leave it behind
Resolution to abandon the past
Just leave it behind, donu0027t ask me why
Reiteration of leaving without asking why
There upon that virgin ground
Starting anew on untouched ground
Weu0027ll start again with what weu0027ve found
Beginning again with what has been discovered
And if the spirits grow angry and they curse the land
Potential consequences if faced with adversity
Weu0027ll poison the well and leave again
Willingness to take drastic measures and relocate
