The Wake Of Tragedy
Echoes of Loss: Navigating the Wake of Tragedy
Lyrics
Nothing in this world feels right
Expressing a sense of discomfort or dissatisfaction with the current state of the world.
Too far gone, oh God please take back that night
A plea to undo a tragic event, possibly seeking divine intervention or regretting a specific night.
'Cause I can't comprehend living the rest of this life
Difficulty in understanding or accepting the prospect of living without someone important.
Without you here feels like the sun burnt out
Describing the absence of a loved one as a profound loss, akin to the extinguishing of the sun.
And all that is light, was stained a charcoal grey
Depicting the world as darkened and joyless after the departure of a significant person.
With no end to this heartache in sight
Expressing the enduring nature of heartache with no apparent end in sight.
We wipe away our tears just long enough
A momentary pause in grief to acknowledge the presence of the departed in a spiritual sense.
To see you shining down from heaven bright
Recognizing the departed as a guiding and comforting presence from the afterlife.
Another day, trying to mask the trauma
Struggling to cope with the emotional aftermath, attempting to conceal the pain.
Disconnect from reality, while the walls close around us
Escaping from the harsh reality while feeling surrounded by overwhelming difficulties.
Falling further away, grasping onto what's left of my sanity
Losing touch with reality, holding onto the remnants of sanity amidst increasing distance.
Only time, separates you from me
Time as a barrier separating the speaker from the departed loved one.
Until we meet again
Anticipation of a reunion in the afterlife.
I will sing for you, in memory
A commitment to preserving the memory of the departed through song.
I will sing for you, in the wake of tragedy
Emphasizing the act of singing as a tribute in the aftermath of a tragic event.
I will sing for you, in memory
Reiterating the dedication to singing in memory of the departed.
I will sing for you, in the wake of tragedy
Continuing the commitment to singing in the face of tragedy.
Nothing in this world feels right
Repetition of the sentiment that the world feels wrong without the departed.
Too far gone, oh God please take back that night
A plea to reverse a tragic night, echoing the initial desperation.
'Cause I can't comprehend living the rest of this life
Reiteration of the difficulty in accepting life without the departed.
Without you here feels like the sun burnt out
Recalling the emptiness and darkness felt due to the absence of the loved one.
And all that is light, was stained a charcoal grey
Repeating the imagery of a world darkened and stained after the departure.
With no end to this heartache in sight
Reemphasizing the perpetual nature of heartache without a visible resolution.
We wipe away our tears
A continuation of wiping away tears as a symbolic gesture of mourning.
Until we meet again
A bridge to connect the ongoing grief with the anticipation of a future meeting.
I will sing for you, in memory
Reaffirming the commitment to sing in memory of the departed.
I will sing for you, in the wake of tragedy
Restating the act of singing as a response to the wake of tragedy.
I will sing for you, in memory
Reiterating the pledge to sing in memory of the departed.
I will sing for you, in the wake of tragedy
Reaffirming the commitment to sing in the aftermath of tragedy.
I will sing for you, in memory
Continuing the promise to sing in memory of the departed.
I will sing for you, in memory
Repetition of the commitment to sing as a tribute to the departed.
In Memory
A conclusive expression of the dedication to remembering the departed.
