Nobody's Child
Unwanted Echoes: The Heartbreaking Tale of Nobody's Child
Lyrics
As I was slowly passing
Observing an orphanage while passing by slowly.
An orphan's home one day,
Describing the setting as an orphan's home.
I stopped for just a little while
Paused briefly to witness the children at play.
To watch the children play.
Reflecting on the scene of children playing.
Alone a boy was standing
A boy standing alone captures attention.
And when I asked him why,
Inquiring why the boy is alone.
He turned with eyes that could not see
Discovering the boy has sightless eyes.
And he began to cry.
The boy begins to cry due to his situation.
I'm nobody's child,
Expressing that the boy is without parental care.
I'm nobody's child.
Reiterating the theme of being nobody's child.
Just like the flowers
Comparing oneself to wild flowers, symbolizing lack of guidance.
I'm growing wild.
Metaphorically growing untamed and uncontrolled.
I got no mummy's kisses
Expressing the absence of a mother's affection.
I got no daddy's smile.
Conveying the absence of a father's smile or presence.
Nobody wants me,
Emphasizing being unwanted or unclaimed.
I'm nobody's child.
Repetition of the theme of being nobody's child.
No mummy's arms to hold me
No maternal comfort or solace during times of distress.
Or sue me when I cry,
Expressing a longing for someone to care during moments of sadness.
'Cause sometimes I feel so lonesome
Describing intense loneliness and a wish for release.
I wish that I could die.
Expressing a desire for an end to the emotional pain.
I'll walk the streets of heaven
Anticipating walking in a heavenly place.
Where all blinds can see.
Where everyone, even those with blindness, can see.
And just like for the other kids
Comparing the experience to that of other children.
It will be a home for me.
Heaven as a metaphorical home for the speaker.
I'm nobody's child,
Reiteration of the theme of being nobody's child.
I'm nobody's child.
Reiterating the lack of parental belonging.
Just like the flowers
Comparing oneself to wild flowers, reinforcing lack of nurture.
I'm growing wild.
Metaphorically growing without guidance or restraint.
I got no mummy's kisses
Expressing the absence of a mother's affection.
I got no daddy's smile.
Conveying the absence of a father's smile or presence.
Nobody wants me,
Emphasizing being unwanted or unclaimed.
I'm nobody's child.
Final repetition of the theme, underscoring the sense of abandonment.
