I Kill Giants
Elegy of Loss: Unraveling the Heartbreak in 'I Kill Giants'
Lyrics
The end of June came
The end of June arrived.
And took you away
June ended and took the person away.
We were all crying
We were all crying.
Felt like I was dying
It felt like I was dying emotionally.
Black dress & black shoes
Wearing mourning attire - a black dress and shoes.
Tied laces for you
Tying laces, possibly for the deceased.
The saddest of days
The day was extremely sorrowful.
Why couldn't we save you?
Questioning why the person couldn't be saved.
Inside my head
Reflecting on thoughts inside one's mind.
At the edge of the bed
Being on the edge of the bed, possibly contemplating.
Where somberness lay
A feeling of sadness and gloom.
In your children that day
The sadness seen in the deceased person's children.
As goodbyes are spent
Saying goodbye while holding on to what remains.
Holding on to what's left
Clutching onto what little is left.
The saddest of days
Expressing extreme sorrow again.
Why couldn't we save you?
Questioning again why the person couldn't be saved.
Nothing but ashes
Only remnants remain in the fireplace.
In the old fire place
The memories have been erased by someone.
With all of the memories
All the memories are gone.
He has erased
Someone has intentionally erased the memories.
Heavier heels
Someone is walking heavily in mourning.
His mourning concealed
His mourning is not apparent or visible.
On the saddest of days
Another mention of extreme sorrow.
Why couldn't we save you?
Questioning again why the person couldn't be saved.
