Lions
Echoes of Forgotten Names: Lions by William Fitzsimmons
Lyrics
And after the rains came
After a difficult period, possibly symbolic of hardship or emotional turmoil.
And washed out her remnant
A metaphorical reference to the removal or erasure of what remains of someone or something.
And again for traces
Searching again, possibly trying to find evidence or remnants.
Of bloodlines in faces
Looking for familial connections or similarities in physical appearance.
And you remind me of the breath
Comparing someone to the life force provided or sacrificed for them.
That I drew for you
The act of sustaining or supporting someone.
The shadow of a ghost
A barely noticeable or fading presence or memory.
There's lions between us
Signifying obstacles or challenges separating individuals, possibly threatening to cause harm.
They'll cut us to pieces
Implies potential harm or destruction due to these barriers.
And before the sun came
Before a positive change, perhaps hinting at forgetfulness or loss.
Forgotten her old name
Forgetting or leaving behind a previous identity or sense of self.
And you remind me of the breath
Reiteration of the comparison between someone and the life force given for them.
That I drew for you
Continuation of supporting or sustaining someone.
The shadow of a ghost
A lingering presence that's barely perceptible, almost like a ghost.
No more
An abrupt end or conclusion to the situation or relationship.
