R.I.P. Bon
Unspoken Goodbyes: The Heartache in R.I.P. Bon's Meaning
Lyrics
I was waiting for you man, right down there by the sea
I anticipated your arrival at the sea, a place of significance for us.
Where we used to meet, to share in our pain and decry misery
Referencing a shared location to express the shared emotional pain and sorrow.
I waited I waited I waited I swear, but when I got down to the ocean
Expressing prolonged waiting for the person, emphasizing commitment.
Man you were not fucking there
Disappointment at not finding the person at the expected place.
I just wish that you spoke up and held out your hand
Desire for the person to communicate openly and seek help.
Because you I was there man you that I cared
Expressing the speaker's presence and care for the person in distress.
I waited for you but you never came, no you never came
Reiteration of waiting, emphasizing the person's failure to arrive.
And now that you're gone I feel
Acknowledging the person's absence and the emotional burden on the speaker.
I'm to blame yeah I feel I'm to blame
Feeling a sense of responsibility or guilt for the person's departure.
I wanted to hear it, I wanted to know
Expressing a desire to understand the person's feelings or thoughts.
I've been grieving so much with each passing day
Revealing the speaker's intense grief over time.
But I'm angry and hurt and I hate you all the same
Conveying mixed emotions of anger, hurt, and hatred towards the absent person.
I just wish that you spoke up and held out your hand
Reiteration of the desire for open communication and support.
Because you know I was there man you know that I cared
Emphasizing the speaker's presence and care despite the strained emotions.
I waited for you but you never came, no you never came
Repeat of the waiting theme, underscoring the person's continued absence.
And now that you're gone I feel
Acknowledging a sense of self-blame now that the person is no longer present.
I'm to blame yeah I feel I'm to blame
Reiterating the speaker's perceived responsibility for the departure.
I know now you hated life even more with each breath
Acknowledging the person's deep dislike for life and struggles.
I know now that you did not have any fight left
Recognizing the person's lack of will to continue the fight for life.
To know you were grieving with each passing day
Acknowledging the person's grief over time.
I know you were grieving with each passing day
Repetition of the acknowledgment of the person's ongoing grief.
And to know most of all you did not want to say
Acknowledging the person's reluctance to express their struggles.
And I know most of all you did not want to stay
Reiteration of the person's desire not to remain in their current state.
And you know you were grieving with each passing day
Highlighting the continued struggle and grief of the absent person.
I waited for you but you never came no you never came
Reiteration of waiting, emphasizing the ongoing absence of the person.
And now that you're gone I feel
Acknowledging the emotional impact of the person's departure.
I'm to blame yeah I feel I'm to blame
Reiterating the speaker's perceived responsibility for the absence.
Did I never listen did I never show, did I never show
Pondering on potential failures in listening or understanding the person's struggles.
'Cause I wanted to hear I wanted to hear it I wanted to know
Expressing a strong desire to hear and understand the person's feelings.
