The Town Where Only I am Missing
Embracing Redemption: Unveiling Life's Choices in 'The Town Where Only I am Missing'
Lyrics
Do you want to be alive; do you want another life
Reflecting on the desire for existence and the possibility of a different life.
Do you want to live a lie; one more night
Questioning the authenticity of one's life and contemplating another night of living a lie.
Burdened by time, you sink, the past is fading; you lose everything
Feeling weighed down by time, witnessing the fading of the past, and experiencing loss.
Happiness fades to something gray and you change and you change
Describing the transformation in emotions as happiness turns into something gray, emphasizing change.
Oh, I would have loved to know, the stories that I would have told
Expressing a desire to know and share untold stories.
Do you want to be alive; will you find another life
Reiterating the questioning of the desire for life and the possibility of a different, authentic one.
Do you want to be alive; do you want another life
-Do you want to be alive; do you want another life
-Do you want to live a lie again
-Lost in the sea of thought, depression's here she is never lost
Feeling lost in a sea of thoughts, acknowledging the persistent presence of depression.
And though I loathe her touch and she talks too much
Expressing disdain for the touch and excessive talk of depression.
I am a guardian of what the world was
Identifying oneself as a guardian of the past world, holding onto its memory.
And oh, I would have loved to know, the stories that I would have told
Reiterating the desire to know and share untold stories, reflecting on missed opportunities.
Do you want to be alive; will you find another life
Continuing to question the desire for life and the potential for finding peace of mind.
I don't know if I'll find, peace of mind in this time
-The fuller life is getting old, the stories told
Commenting on the aging of a fuller life and the passage of time.
I wonder if I'll ever catch my withered soul
Wondering if the narrator will ever rediscover their withered soul.
Catch my soul, catch my soul
Emphasizing the need to catch and reclaim the soul.
Do you want to be alive; will you find another life
Final repetition of the questions about the desire for life and living a lie, with a plea to catch the soul.
Do you want to be alive (Catch my soul) do you want another life
-Do you want to be alive (Catch my soul) do you want another life
-Do you want to live a lie again
