See Him On The Street
Unveiling the Silent Symphony of Despair: Street Encounters with Life's Shadows
Lyrics
He never left a trace
There is no evidence or indication of his presence.
They only found a note
There's only a written message left behind.
Take the past nine years
Reflecting on the time span of the past nine years.
Back from where they came
Returning to their origin or starting point.
People call it suicide
People label it as a deliberate act of ending one's own life.
Why'd I see him on the street today
Questioning the sighting of the person on the street despite the apparent end.
He kept his winter coat
The person had prepared for winter, suggesting a readiness for hardship.
It's cold outside in April
Despite being April, the outside remains cold, possibly mirroring emotional coldness.
All this time away
The extended period of being away from a familiar place or situation.
From his wife's soft bed
Being apart from the warmth and comfort of his wife's bed.
Would it help to say I understand?
Expressing empathy and a desire to comprehend the situation.
Why'd I see him on the street today
Reiterating the perplexity of encountering the person after an apparent departure.
He left it all the same
Leaving everything unchanged or as it was.
They say this boy is yours
Others claim the boy belongs to him.
Take the past nine years
Reflecting on the same nine-year period from a different perspective.
Back from where they came
Returning to the origin or starting point once again.
If people call that suicide
If people characterize it as suicide, acknowledging the perception.
Why'd I see him on the street today
Repeating the confusion about seeing the person after the perceived act.
If people call that suicide
Re-emphasizing the societal judgment of the situation as suicide.
Why'd I see him on the street
Reiterating the puzzling encounter with the person on the street.
