Eternal Echoes: Reflecting Love, Loss, and Healing
Lyrics
Arms of steel, hair of gold
Describing physical attributes: strong arms and golden hair.
Royal blue eyes, with a rebel soul
Characterizing with royal blue eyes and a rebellious soul.
You scared me, you still do
Expressing fear from the person being referred to, both in the past and present.
But I loved you
Acknowledging a strong emotional connection despite fear.
More than you ever knew
Highlighting a depth of love not fully understood or reciprocated.
This is my act of remembrance
Declaring an intentional act of remembering someone or something.
My act of remembrance
Reaffirming the act of remembrance for emphasis.
Doctor's face, said the time had come
Referring to a significant moment signaled by a doctor.
I stood up, and began to run
Reacting to the news by standing up and running, possibly to cope.
My boy's voice, called your name
Hearing the voice of a son calling a name, possibly the person being remembered.
You roared back and the silence came
Receiving a response marked by roaring, followed by silence.
This is my act of remembrance
Reiterating the act of remembrance, emphasizing its significance.
My act of remembrance
Reaffirming the intentional act of remembering, underscoring its importance.
Drove my car, to your street
Physically going to the person's street by driving a car.
Hoped a ghost, I would meet
Expressing hope to encounter a ghost, a symbolic representation of the person being remembered.
Well that ghost, he's moved on
Noticing that the symbolic ghost has moved on, suggesting a change or departure.
But his anger, Dad is it gone?
Questioning whether the anger associated with the person has also disappeared.
Is the pain gone, is it all gone?
Pondering if the pain and emotions connected to the person are gone.
This is my act of remembrance
Repeating the declaration of the intentional act of remembrance.
