August
Embracing the Echoes of August: A Tale of Loss and Longing
Lyrics
August feels like it's the end
August is perceived as a conclusion or an ending.
When August went you left as well
When August ended, you also departed.
The months that came were broken then
The subsequent months were damaged or troubled.
The pieces made of hollowness
Those months were filled with emptiness or lack of substance.
The time to feel alive
This is the moment to experience vitality or a sense of being alive.
Written in stone beneath the sky
The essence of being alive is permanently inscribed beneath the sky.
Here only shovels know the lie
Only shovels understand the deception or falsehood of experiencing happiness.
Of feeling happiness
The deceptive nature of feeling happiness is acknowledged.
So, August stay close
Therefore, it is requested for August to remain close.
Standing out in front of him
Being present in front of someone, possibly facing a challenge.
To read the words of life he spent
Reading the words that represent the life he lived.
Then I turn to speak and bury him
Turning to communicate and perhaps concealing or ending something.
I don't see how I'm supposed to live
Expressing difficulty in understanding how to continue living.
So, August stay close
Reiteration of the request for August to stay close.
August stay close to me
Emphasizing the importance of August staying close.
August stay close
Continuing to express the desire for August's proximity.
August stay close to me
Repeating the plea for August to stay close.
And brother come home
Addressing a brother and urging them to return home.
Brother come home to me
Specifically requesting the brother to come back.
Brother come home
Repeating the plea for the brother to return home.
Are you still close to me
Asking if the brother is still emotionally connected or close.
August stay close
Reiteration of the request for August to stay close.
August stay close to me
Emphasizing the importance of August staying close.
August stay close
Continuing to express the desire for August's proximity.
August stay close
Final repetition of the plea for August to stay close.
