Thief
Lost in the Clouds: A Poetic Journey Through Loss and Reflection
Lyrics
I heard you talking about
I overheard you discussing
Dying from the couch
Talking about the prospect of dying while on the couch
He's trying to fix it
Someone is attempting to address the situation
Find a way to fix this
Seeking a solution to resolve the issue
Nearing the end isn't fun
Approaching the end is not enjoyable
Don't want to burden you my son
Expressing a desire not to be a burden to one's child
He doesn't want to hear it
He is reluctant to listen to the impending hardships
Find a way to fix it
Searching for a way to mend the situation
Would you call me to your bed
Questioning if the person would call for companionship in their final moments
If you knew you were leaving
Contemplating the inevitability of departure
Or handle it instead
Considering handling the departure independently
Take all the time
Encouraging the person to take as much time as needed
Stay for awhile
Inviting them to stay for a while longer
Lost in the clouds
Feeling disoriented and detached from reality
Miss having you around
Expressing a longing for the person's presence
How's the view now?
Asking about their perspective from the afterlife
I'll keep you around
Committing to keeping memories alive
Lost in the clouds
Feeling lost without the person around
I'll miss having you around
Expressing the void left by their absence
If there's something after
Contemplating an existence after death
If I make the cut
Reflecting on the possibility of making it through
Will I see my dog there?
Questioning if a pet will be present in the afterlife
Will she remember me at all
Wondering if the pet will retain memories
Their twin size mattresses
Referring to shared beds, implying continuity
Won't be left vacant
Assuring that the space won't be left empty
You can see them growing
Observing growth as intended
Just how you were suppose to
Reflecting on how things should progress
Maybe we're the ones asleep
Suggesting the possibility that they are unaware of reality
Left the phone off the hook
Leaving communication open, anticipating inquiries
In case you're wondering
Addressing a potential state of wonder or confusion
Maybe I'm the one asleep
Considering the speaker might be unaware or oblivious
Left your phone off the hook
Leaving communication open but not receiving expected calls
I know you've been calling
Acknowledging missed attempts at contact
You don't pay mind to the sky
Not paying attention to positive signs or hope
Or look for any light
Choosing not to seek light or positivity unless it's necessary
Unless it's dark outside
Highlighting a preference for darkness or difficult times
