Emma
Mallory Merk Lyrics

Man this a little bit serious
The situation is quite significant and has real consequences

Remember when they didn't believe in us
Looking back on a time of disbelief from others

Thinking 'bout you up in heavens hands
Reflecting on the idea of a loved one being in a better place

Up in heaven's arms until you land
Believing in a higher power taking care of the deceased loved one until they reach their final resting place

Leaving my heart heavy like some lead
Feeling an immense weight of sadness and grief

Writing this shit with a heavy hand
Pouring out emotions through written words

Sending you texts, I'm just checking in
Making an effort to stay connected with the departed loved one

Stuck on your laugh I can't hear again
Holding onto the memory of the loved one's laughter

Everything 'bout you is heaven sent
Feeling like the loved one was a gift from above

Chief Keef
Reference to the rapper and his impact on the artist's life

Played that shit once, I knew we was friends
Finding common ground with the loved one through shared interests like music

Brought you right back where we let you in
Reminiscing about good times spent with the loved one

Up at the game and we held your hand
Remembering a moment of camaraderie and support for the loved one

You know what it means to us down on land
The importance of earthly bonds, even with the knowledge that the loved one is no longer with them

You will [?] shine till the top of the stairs
Believing that the loved one will continue to have a radiant presence

Maybe it was your time to fly
Accepting that the loved one's passing was a natural course of events

Just feel that my tears never dry
Feeling deep, constant sadness and grief

"Hi this is like my first like real formal YouTube video so bare with me, I don't really know what I'm doing, um but I just wanted to tell, like, the story of how I, um, how like I found out I got sick and that whole thing"
An audio clip of the artist introducing the video, setting it up as a personal story about being sick

I remember the day that you broke the news
Recalling the moment the artist learned of the loved one's passing

Your voice is like rubber, my heart the glue
The shock of the situation holding the artist's heart together, with the loved one's voice as a triggering memory

Thought to myself how could it be true
The disbelief and confusion surrounding the loved one's death

To so many people you would amuse
Referencing the loved one's outgoing personality and likability

Wish I could say I'm passed the blues
Recognizing that the sadness has not yet subsided

I'm looking around, are you leaving clues?
Searching for signs of the loved one's continued presence

See you through lights in the purple hues
Perceiving the loved one in certain colors or lighting due to memories

The Emma I talked to, I know it's you
Feeling that even in death, the loved one remains present and recognizable

Slowin', slowin it down one time
Pausing to appreciate the moment and honor the loved one's memory

Emma, my girl, you know you's a dime
A term of endearment for the loved one

The way that you smile made everyone so bright
Reflecting on the loved one's positive influence on others

Dreamin' about you, you sleepin' tight
Thinking about the loved one at nighttime
