Helena
Echoes of Redemption: Decoding Taylor Acorn's 'Helena' Melody
Lyrics
Long ago
Reflecting on the past
Just like the Hearse you die to get in again
Comparing life to a hearse, suggesting a cycle of death and rebirth
We are so far from you
Feeling distant from someone or something
Burning on
Continuing to endure despite challenges
Just like the match you strike to incinerate
Metaphorically igniting destruction, possibly through actions or choices
The lives of everyone you know
Causing harm to the lives of those around
And what's the worst you take
Questioning the consequences faced
From every heart you break?
Asking about the emotional toll on others
And like the blade you'll stain
Leaving a lasting impact akin to a stained blade
Well, I've been holding on tonight
Holding on despite difficulties
What's the worst that I can say?
Exploring the potential negative outcomes
Things are better if I stay
Considering improvement through perseverance
So long and goodnight
Expressing farewell and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Repeating the sentiment of parting
Came a time
Referring to a specific moment in time
When every star fall
Describing the emotional impact of falling stars
Brought you to tears again
Connecting celestial events to tears
We are the very hurt you sold
Identifying with the hurt that has been sold
And what's the worst you take
Reiterating the negative consequences faced
From every heart you break?
Questioning the toll on hearts
And like a blade you'll stain
Comparing impact to a stained blade
Well, I've been holding on tonight
Persisting through the night
What's the worst that I can say?
Continuing to explore potential outcomes
Things are better if I stay
Considering improvement through perseverance
So long and goodnight
Repeating the sentiment of farewell and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Emphasizing the finality of departure
Well, if you carry on this way
Addressing a choice to continue a certain path
Things are better if I stay
Stating potential improvement through persistence
So long and goodnight
Repeating the sentiment of farewell and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Emphasizing the finality of departure
Can you hear me?
Seeking connection and communication
Are you near me?
Expressing proximity and longing
Can we pretend to leave and then
Suggesting a temporary separation and reunion
We'll meet again
Anticipating a future meeting
When both our cars collide
Symbolizing a collision, possibly of emotions or events
What's the worst that I can say?
Repeating the exploration of potential negative outcomes
Things are better if I stay
Considering improvement through perseverance
So long and goodnight
Repeating the sentiment of farewell and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Emphasizing the finality of departure
And if you carry on this way
Addressing the consequences of a chosen path
Things are better if I stay
Stating potential improvement through persistence
So long and goodnight
Repeating the sentiment of farewell and goodnight
So long and goodnight
Emphasizing the finality of departure
