Room with a View
Eternal Views: A Melodic Reflection on Loss and Remembrance
Lyrics
No matter how much the clock goes around
No matter how much time passes
There's an aching pain
There is a persistent feeling of sorrow
The sun goes up and the sun goes down
The cycle of day and night continues
But it still feels the same
Yet the emotional pain remains unchanged
Your house is just some drywall now
Your home is now just walls
Your parents moved away
Your parents have relocated
I know you got a room with a view up there
Acknowledgment of the deceased having a heavenly perspective
And you're looking down on me
The departed loved one watches over the speaker
I know you got a room with a view up there
Reiteration of the awareness of the departed's heavenly view
Please save a spot for me
Plea to reserve a place for the speaker in the afterlife
It's been ten years without you
A decade has passed since the absence of the loved one
And all your friends have aged
The friends of the departed have aged during the absence
Some got married and some had kids
Life milestones of marriage, kids, and relocations
And some just moved away
Some friends have moved away
And theres a few that came to live with you
Reference to those who have passed away and those yet to
A few that are on the way
Anticipation of more friends joining the departed
I know you got a room with a view up there
Acknowledgment of the departed's heavenly perspective reiterated
And you're looking down on me
The departed loved one continues to watch over the speaker
I know you got a room with a view up there
Request to reserve a place in the afterlife remains
Please save a spot for me
Plea to save a spot for the speaker in the afterlife
All the laughter that you missed out on
Recognition of missed moments and joy without the departed
Tears in your name
Tears shed in remembrance of the departed
Your brother and sister are doing great now
Update on the well-being of the departed's siblings
But your mother's never been the same
The mother continues to grieve and is affected deeply
And your father's there to comfort them
The father provides comfort during festive times
On every happy holiday
Father's role in supporting the family during joyful occasions
I know you got a room with a view up there
Reiteration of the departed's heavenly perspective
And you're looking down on me
The departed continues to observe and care for the speaker
I know you got a room with a view up there
Renewed plea to reserve a place for the speaker in the afterlife
Please save a spot for me
Continued request to save a spot for the speaker in the afterlife
