On this post I will explain the meaning behind one of the lyrics I wrote for my Chapbook. The song is called Glimpse of Happiness.
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Hey there,
I keep remembering all the moments we shared
a vivid memory of those long gone days
where everything felt so true
I couldn't imagine
[Chorus]
That everything would change
in the blink of an eye
I would lose my way
I would give up on my faith
[Verse 2]
Hey man,
I keep listen to the same old songs
Those who remind me of who I am
and the one I left to be
I can't believe
[Chorus 2]
That everything has changed
in the blink of an eye
I lost my way
I gave up on my faith
[ Bridge]
Which one are you choosing, my boy?
Which one are you going for?
[Verse 3]
Hey man,
We haven't talked for quite some time
I wish I could hear from you, my friend
It doesn't make much sense
I can't believe
[Chorus]
That everything has changed
in the blink of an eye
I lost my way
I gave upon my faith
The Lyrics are about grief. I wrote it as letter to a friend who passed away in 2018. The first verse is about memories that I shared with him and confirm and accepting that we do not have control over overwhelming majority of circumstances in life and as human being we are very fragile and vulnerable. Moreover, It is also about expressing gratitude and let this feeling being greater than pain and sadness after such a tragic event. In the chorus I expose my reaction to that situation and the consequences of that event which leaded me to an existential crisis in such short period of time. The second is a reference to the bands that I used to listen years ago and I am still listening nowadays. Also about how I changed as a person and the things I have learnt after that experience. The bridge is about the belief of life after death, and the possible existence of heaven, hell and reincarnation and the possibility to choose a place to rest in peace. The third verse is an expression of nonconformity and denying the facts that are too hard to digest.
