Seppuku
Echoes of Betrayal: A Tale of Love, Loss, and Redemption
Lyrics
Days of old and tales so long
Reflecting on past times and lengthy stories
My oh my what a lovely song
Expressing admiration for a beautiful song
That you and I would sing
Recalling shared moments of singing together
Underneath the cedar trees
Describing a setting under cedar trees
I said I love you in a pinch
Confessing love in a challenging situation
So you returned it with a burn and a stitch
Receiving a hurtful response and healing
Cross my heart hope to die
Swearing sincerity with a childhood promise
When you said all your love was a lie
Discovering the falsehood of professed love
So if you hear me today
Calling attention to the present moment
The words that I will say are
Anticipating impactful words to be spoken
Avenge me avenge me!
Pleading for retribution, possibly from betrayal
Lover's spit soon to fall
Reference to intimate connection and its decay
is building up inside my mouth
Feelings of emotional congestion
And as I'm pressed against the wall
Intimate moment taking an unpleasant turn
This gracious moment soon turns south
Intensifying difficulty and discomfort
Heavy pounds of pain and dread
Enduring heavy emotional burden
will never wash away
Recognition that pain may persist
But mark my words upon this sword
Promising a future meeting despite challenges
We will meet again some day
Committing to a reunion with determination
There's a fire in the sky that reminds me of you
Connecting celestial phenomena with memories
Leaving bright and fast to show off the blue
Observing a rapid departure of something cherished
Now It's gone hidden by the clouds
Expressing the loss or concealment of something special
Just like the gun that I had found
Comparing the disappearance to finding a hidden object
You change your seasons just like the midwest
Analogizing changes in seasons to emotional shifts
From cold to warm to cold again
Commenting on the unpredictable nature of emotions
Miserable weather I've never felt better
Paradoxically finding contentment in misery
I once was comfy but you destroyed my sweater
Reflecting on the destruction of comfort and stability
