Daughter
Emotional Reflections: A Father's Haunting Confession
Lyrics
Over a lifetime
Reflecting on a lifetime
I never loved her
Expressing a lack of love
My daughter, my daughter
Repetition for emphasis: addressing the daughter
Seems to be a distorted shift
Describing a distorted shift or change
I'm lost now, I'm lost
Feeling lost in the present
In the universal absence
Noticing a universal absence or void
And it is dizzying, dizzying
Expressing a dizzying experience
Pitch black, pitch black
Emphasizing darkness
Over a lifetime
Reiterating a lack of love over a lifetime
I never loved her
Continuation of expressing lack of love for the daughter
My daughter, my daughter
Repetition for emphasis: addressing the daughter
Before there were
Introducing a past scenario
Ships sailing under a swollen moon
Describing ships under a swollen moon as a reference point
But enough now, enough
Declaring "enough" in response to memories causing pain
Every memory awakens an agony
Associating memories with agony
But enough now, enough
Reiteration of "enough" in response to painful memories
Every memory awakens an agony
Emphasizing the agony associated with every memory
Over a lifetime
Reiterating a lack of love over a lifetime
I never loved her
Continuation of expressing lack of love for the daughter
My daughter, my daughter
Repetition for emphasis: addressing the daughter
Over a lifetime
Reiterating a lack of love over a lifetime
I never loved her
Continuation of expressing lack of love for the daughter
My daughter, my daughter
Repetition for emphasis: addressing the daughter
I keep carrying the dead with me
Carrying the burden of the deceased
So let us pity them, bury them all at once
Suggesting compassion and collective burial for the dead
I keep carrying the dead with me
Repetition of carrying the burden of the deceased
So let us pity them, bury them all at once
Emphasizing collective burial for the dead
