Lyrics
In a time of quietness I reflect on childhood memories
In a moment of calm reflection, I ponder memories from my childhood.
Caught wisping through my mind
Various thoughts and memories are drifting through my mind.
Falling leaves create the stage
Falling leaves symbolize a setting or backdrop for the unfolding events.
Words spoken were not cherished
Words spoken in the past were not valued or appreciated.
On the last day of our friendship
Referring to the final day of a friendship.
And those words were possibly the last
The words exchanged on that day might have been the last spoken between the individuals.
What were your thoughts
Prompting a question about the thoughts of the other person during that farewell.
As a dreaming child I awaken to a nightmare
Describing a transition from a blissful childhood to a nightmarish reality.
After a gentle nudge I find out you're gone
Discovering the departure of a significant person after a gentle revelation.
The machines that kept you alive were careless
Criticizing the indifferent nature of machines that sustained a person's life.
Did you ask Him to forgive you
Raising a question about whether the departed sought forgiveness from a higher power.
Before, before you passed on you slipped
Highlighting a moment just before passing away where a significant action or realization occurred.
You slipped, you passed on
Emphasizing the passing away of the individual.
The machines that kept you alive were careless
Reiterating the negligence of the life-sustaining machines.
Did you ask Him to forgive you
Repeating the question about seeking forgiveness before passing away.
Before you passed on
Rephrasing the idea of seeking forgiveness before the final moments.
You slipped on away into the ground
Describing the departure of the individual into the afterlife.
You broke the vanity
Symbolizing a breaking of pride or arrogance.
You brought the silence
Signifying the arrival of silence, possibly representing death or the end of a chapter.
