Requiem
Corey Lyrics

We were ready for anything
We had prepared ourselves for any situation that may arise.

Everyone knows some pain
Pain is a common experience that affects everyone at some point in their life.

I see the loss everytime someone says your name
The singer is reminded of their loss whenever someone mentions the name of the person they lost.

When you know someone who shines hard
When you know someone who stands out and has a strong impact on others.

A soul of the age who doesn't care who the fuck you are
This person was accepting of all and did not judge based on societal norms or status.

You had a friend, a brother who was everything
The singer had a close relationship with the person they lost and they meant everything to them.

But he had to go away....that was yesterday
The person they lost has passed away and it happened in the past.

I've lost a lot of people in my time
The artist has experienced the loss of many loved ones throughout their life.

The good, the bad, the unreal, and the ones who shine
The artist has lost people who were good, bad, imaginary, and significant in their life.

So I know you all understand when I say that until they left
The artist believes that others can relate to feeling unprepared and shocked by the loss of a loved one.

We were reasy for anything...but this
The singer and others were prepared for any challenge or obstacle, but they were not prepared for the loss of their loved one.

You are not gone
Although the person they lost has passed away, they still exist in the memories of those who loved them.

We keep you here inside us
The singer and others hold onto the memory of their loved one and keep them close in their hearts and minds.

We know you're still beside us
The singer and others believe that their loved one is still present in their lives in some way.

We have this light you gave to us
Their loved one had an impact on their life and the positive influence they had is still felt by those who knew them.

Now it's time to, lay to rest our friend
The loved one who passed away is being honored and laid to rest at a funeral.

And through these songs
The artist and others use music to remember and honor their loved one.

His memory will never fucking end
The memory of their loved one will never fade or be forgotten.

We will see that
The singer and others will make sure that the legacy of their loved one continues on.

Through this loss we'll shed some light on you
Their loved one's life and character will be celebrated and remembered, even in the wake of their passing.

Until the day you left us
The artist and others were not prepared for the loss of their loved one and it still hurts deeply.

Why'd you have to go? We never had a chance
The loss of their loved one was unexpected and they did not get a chance to say goodbye.

I can't believe it so I won't admit it
The singer is struggling to accept the reality of their loss and is in denial.

Life ain't shit without you in it
The artist believes that life without their loved one is meaningless and empty.

Everybody says the light that shines the brightest burns out fast
It is common to hear that people who have a significant impact will have short lives or burn out quickly.

But what they never say is all the light they gives us lasts
Although there is a perception that bright lights fade quickly, the singer believes that the positive impact their loved one had will last forever.

We hold the memories and cherish everyday we had
The singer and others treasure the time they had with their loved one and the memories they made together.

But we would give it up in a second just to have you back
Although memories are cherished, the artist and others would give anything to have their loved one back with them.
