Forever in My Dreams
Eternal Regret: A Brother's Lament in 'Forever in My Dreams'
Lyrics
I can't forget that night
I cannot erase the memory of that particular night.
Or the arguement that made you run away
Recalling the disagreement that prompted you to leave abruptly.
I thought you'd come back soon
I anticipated your return shortly after, but it extended to a year and seven days.
But soon became a year and seven days
Time passing since your departure.
I stood there petrified
I was immobilized, unable to react.
As they dragged your car
Witnessing the removal of your car from Laurel Lake.
Out of laurel lake
Geographical reference to a specific location.
The overwhelming guilt
The intense feeling of responsibility, convinced it's entirely my fault.
That it's all my fault
The burden of guilt becoming unbearable for my heart.
Was all my heart could take
The emotional toll reaches its limit.
at night you always seem so near
During the night, your presence feels close.
It sometimes feels like you're still here
A sense that you might still be present.
your voice will never fade away
Your voice remains vivid and will not diminish.
Forever in my dreams
You will persistently exist in my dreams.
I know you're always gonna stay
Your enduring presence is assured.
Forver in my dreams
Assurance that you'll be a part of my dreams indefinitely.
You're always young, with wings to fly
Imagery of eternal youth and freedom.
Forever in my dreams
You'll remain in my dreams eternally.
One place I know you'll never die
Confidence in your immortality within my dreams.
Forever in my dreams
Your existence is everlasting in my dreams.
I hear your footsteps walking
Auditory perception of your footsteps in our shared space.
Around the room where our time was spent
The room where we spent time together holds echoes of your presence.
I hope you know I miss you
Expressing the longing and void caused by your absence.
I need to tell you how much that you meant
An acknowledgment of how much you meant to me.
today I'll drive to roselawan
Planning to visit a specific location, Roselawan.
Hang my head and put flowers on your grave
A solemn act of honoring you by placing flowers on your grave.
Why did we always aruge?
Pondering on the frequent disagreements and their impact.
It's not the way that brothers should behave
Reflecting on the inappropriate behavior between brothers.
