A story about loss of a loved one and how to re-membering the person afterwards.
Here I experiment with sounds and tries to create something a bit different from the "Depraved Soul" koncept.
Story behind the song
Inspired by my work with people with cancer.
Lyrics
Losing You
The news was choking
When death came knocking
Looking back, we never had a clue
In this change of weather
We cried together
The autumn night was purplish-blue
Those dreadful hours
People came with flowers
You called your parents on the telephone
Remember you said to me
Words like poison misery
You cannot leave me here alone
Now you lay here in this hospital bed
I sit beside you and caress your head
You get weaker as the days go by
Preparing your soul for the time to fly
I see you shaking
Your body’s aching
Within weeks you’ll fade away
I scream in violence
To avoid the silence
I can’t believe the price we pay
Clarified; you’re leaving
But when you saw me grieving
You’ve calmed my mind, as you always do
A woman so gracefully
With strength and harmony
As this, my love, I will remember you
You spoke the words, people long to hear
You hold their hand and released their fear
In this moment, you do the same
You break down the burden and restore the flame
The gloomy night slides into my eyes
Leaving the distance so far behind
You’ve opened the window into my heart
I embraced your loving right from the start
What will happen when you die?
Will you reach for me from the sky?
How can I ever love again?
This emptiness, I can’t comprehend
You were the ship that carried my life
Now you’ve left me drowning deep inside
To face the morning light without you
I rather inhale the deep dark ocean blue
But you are gone now
I must get by somehow
To take you away was such a crime
Oh, how I miss you
I long to kiss you
And hold you near me for one last time
Shadows are falling
The nightlight is calling
I hear your voice from the great beyond
You whisper to me
I must set you free
To release the pain that lingers on
Shades of hope seize the light of day
I feel your warmth put a spark in me
I sense the burning from the distant sun
And discover a new ride has begun
It is my faith to regain my life
I owe it to you, my dearest wife
I choose to live and to glorify
But to you I never say goodbye
