Five Years
Parkwood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you′ve been gone five years now
And it feels like there's nothing there
I want to remember but i′m not sure that i can
I know they happened but i'm not sure that i care anymore
And i have reached a point solitude in my life
'Cos i cant sleep and i cant cry i feel i′m truly alone
I still don′t think that i can cope with what you had done
Repeating scenes run through my head oh god its happening again
Repeating scenes run through my head oh god its happening again
Repeating scenes run through my head oh god its happening again
Repeating scenes run through my head oh god i can believe you're dead
I feel the weight lift off your chest
I feel that you′re no longer in a state of constant unrest
You traded us away to ease the pain
You traded us away to ease the pain
I hear friends telling stories that their fathers have shared
And you've been gone five years now
And it feels like there′s nothing there
(Nothing left)
Nothing left
The song "Five Years" by Parkwood portrays the feelings of remorse, grief, and loneliness that come after a loved one's death. The opening lyrics depict the singer struggling to remember their father's stories, which were once treasured memories but now feel hollow and meaningless without his presence. The repetition of "I'm not sure that I care anymore" emphasizes the numbness that follows the loss of a close family member, as the singer tries to hold on to the memories but finds them slipping away.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on their current state of being, feeling wholly alone and unable to find relief in either sleep or tears. They acknowledge the fear and anxiety that plagues their thoughts about the future, and the difficulty of coping with what their father had done. The repetition of "repeating scenes run through my head" creates a feeling of being trapped, unable to escape the painful memories and emotions that continue to haunt the singer.
The final verse of "Five Years" is directed to the father who has passed away. The singer imagines his relief from the pain and unrest that haunted him in life, but in doing so, they also confront the reality of having been "traded away" as a means of coping with that pain. The repetition of "nothing left" in the final line reflects the despairing realization that, even after five years, there is still a profound sense of loss and absence that cannot be filled.

I want to remember you but I'm not sure I can
I know they happened but i'm not sure that i care anymore
I know things happened, but I'm not sure if I still care about them
And i have reached a point solitude in my life
I feel alone in my life
'Cos i cant sleep and i cant cry i feel i'm truly alone
I can't sleep or cry, I feel completely alone
I have my thoughts but they are scared they fear whats yet to come
My thoughts are afraid of what might happen in the future
I still don't think that i can cope with what you had done
I don't think I can handle what you did
Repeating scenes run through my head oh god its happening again
I keep seeing the same thing happen over and over again in my mind and it's unbearable
Repeating scenes run through my head oh god i can believe you're dead
