Part of Me
Eternal Bonds: A Melodic Reflection on Life's Transience
Lyrics
My, ain't it funny how time can fly?
Reflecting on the swift passage of time.
First you're here and then you're off to the sky
Noting the transient nature of life, from being present to departing like going to the sky.
Sigh, tears are welling up inside my eye
Expressing a sigh and the welling up of tears, possibly in response to the inevitability of loss.
Wonderin' 'why do all my heroes die?''
Pondering the mortality of heroes and questioning why they all seem to die.
The way I'm forced to face the fact of my mortality
Confronting the reality of one's own mortality and the impact it has.
It reminds me of the way you used to be
Recalling how someone used to be in light of the changed circumstances.
The more I try to understand my new reality
Struggling to understand and accept a new reality.
The more that I'm beginning to see
Gaining insights as attempts are made to comprehend the changed circumstances.
It's like you're talking in almost every word I say
Feeling a connection with the departed, as if they are present in everyday words.
Feeling closer to you every day
Experiencing a growing closeness to the departed each day.
It's like you're walking with me ev'ry step of the way
Sensing the presence of the departed in every step taken.
All my life I've been so proud to be
Lifetime pride in being associated with someone.
a part of you
Expressing a sense of identity as a part of the departed.
now you are a part of me
Acknowledging that the departed is now a part of the speaker.
Oh, I remember every second spent
Recalling vividly every moment spent with the departed.
Souvenirs of every place we went
Collecting memories from various places visited together.
Multi-colored pictures running through my head
Mentally revisiting colorful images of shared experiences.
Of the one that I could never forget
Emphasizing the indelible impression left by the departed.
The way I try to hang on to a sense of liberty
Struggling to hold onto a sense of freedom or independence.
It reminds me of the way you used to be
Recalling how the departed used to embody a sense of liberty.
The more I try to understand my new reality
Continuing efforts to understand the changed reality.
The more that I'm beginning to see
Increasing awareness and understanding of the new circumstances.
It's like you're talking in almost every word I say
Perceiving the departed's influence in almost every spoken word.
Feeling closer to you every day
Growing emotionally closer to the departed with each passing day.
It's like you're walking with me ev'ry step of the way
Feeling accompanied by the departed in every step taken.
