Irreversible
Grieves feat. Mr. Lif Lyrics

I remember being too young to spell it
Even as a child too young to spell the word 'piano', the singer understood the power of music when his father played the instrument.

But old enough to know That when his fingers touched the keys It lit something up in his soul
Although young, the singer recognized that his father's piano playing elicited deep emotions and stirred something within him.

But at four years old It's hard to notice the power But I sat under that piano for hours. Learnin' the sound of it
Although the singer was only four years old, he would sit under the piano and spend hours listening intently to the music and familiarizing himself with the sound of the instrument.

You heard an old mans noise I heard every tear that he wept and every crack in his voice. Heard every fear that he kept And every passion and joy As he scrambled across the keys And I played with my toys
While the others may have heard a noise, the artist discerned more; he heard the raw emotions behind the music, spanning the spectrum from fear to joy, and would play with his toys in the presence of his father's music.

I saw the power that projected from that living room That man lost his family and everything he ever knew He played that piano like it saved him from the hell he flew Runnin away from the pain that awaited From bein' raised a Jew.
The music played in the singer's living room conveyed an intense power that they could sense. The owner of that piano suffered from the loss of his family and hometown, and the music became a refuge that helped him escape from his troubled past.

Some people paint with their music Stimulate your senses Enabling you to view it But, those dogs raise and train to take a tune with me Everywhere I go Makin my home where the music speaks.
Music has the power to stir the emotions and paint pictures in our minds like a work of art. The singer, like a trained dog on the hunt, follows the music wherever it takes him and makes his home where the music speaks to him most strongly.

( You swear you've heard it before, ) (as it slowly rambles on and on,) (no need in bringin' em back,) (Cause' they're never really gone...)
The familiar tune of the music can seem like an old friend that you've heard before, and it has a way of lingering in your mind long after the notes have faded away.

I can still hear the music His old box used to play And I am what I am because of you And they can't take that away...
The artist still hears the music from their father's old piano, and attributes who they are today to the impact it had on them. That connection cannot be taken away.

(Just an old fashioned love song...)
The song is an homage to the power of music to connect people and evoke deep emotions.

Saturday morning Wakin up yawnin' Smellin' moms cookin and I couldn't stop lookin' at the TV creature double feature. Godzilla verses Rodan and King Ghidorah I gotta watch.
The artist reminisces about his childhood and the comfort he would take in his mother's cooking, while glued to the TV to watch a double feature of Godzilla, Rodan and King Ghidorah film.
