Through The Years
Elegy of Lost Love: Wrath Upon Eden's Emotional Journey
Lyrics
How was I supposed to know, was I supposed to know
Expressing confusion and lack of awareness about a situation.
That you were slipping further from tomorrow
Realization that the person is moving away or facing challenges in the future.
How am I supposed to live, how do I forgive
Questioning how to cope and forgive oneself for not preventing the other person's suffering.
Myself for letting you slip into your sorrow
Acknowledging guilt for allowing the person to descend into sorrow.
How was I supposed to know
Reiteration of not knowing or understanding the impending situation.
That this would be last time, I'd see your face
Regret over realizing that a moment was the last time seeing the person's face.
That this was our last embrace
Expressing sorrow over the final embrace with the person.
And through so many years, you helped me find my way
Acknowledging the support received from the person over the years.
If I had a second chance, I'd tell you that I love you everyday
Desire for a second chance to express love and gratitude daily.
'Cause in my life you were there to take the pain away
Highlighting the positive impact of the person in alleviating pain.
But now that you're gone, there's a darkness, that can't be explained
Conveying the profound darkness and unexplainable void after the person's departure.
Closing in around me now, why is this your elegy
Questioning the reason behind the emotional intensity and the reference to "elegy" (a mournful poem).
Was it all for nothing
Pondering whether the experiences with the person were meaningful.
Left here to die trusting, that you'd come back for me
A sense of abandonment and trust in the hope of the person's return.
Drowning in this sea
Metaphorical drowning in emotional turmoil and distress.
Abandoned, lost, and broken
Feelings of being abandoned, lost, and shattered.
I've fallen apart, the shards of my heart
Emphasizing emotional breakdown, with the heart metaphorically breaking.
Break the skin; I will bleed forever from within
Indicating enduring emotional pain that continues to affect the person.
I won't let you go
Expressing a strong determination not to let go of the memories or emotions related to the person.
I can't let you go
Reiterating the difficulty in moving on from the person.
Wake me up and tell me, I'm no longer dreaming
Desire for a reality check and confirmation that the current painful situation is not a dream.
Because the things that I have seen, are menacing, weakening
Describing the haunting and weakening impact of distressing experiences.
I'm caught in a web of lies, this nightmare, I'm screaming
Expressing feeling trapped in a web of lies and experiencing a nightmarish reality.
And through the years, we walked side by side
Reflecting on the shared journey with the person throughout the years.
Never facing the pain we kept inside
Acknowledging avoidance of confronting internal pain during the shared years.
For far too long, we stood silent
Highlighting a prolonged period of silence and lack of communication.
And now I'm here, wishing that I could have found the words
Expressing regret for not finding the right words during the shared time.
To break the silence
Desire to break the silence that lingers, suggesting unspoken sentiments.
