Husam Husam
The Anniversary Lyrics

I saw the stones in her eyes
I noticed the hardness or coldness in her gaze, possibly indicating emotional pain or trauma

I saw the shadow of the world turn white
I saw the darkness and troubles of the world seem to dissipate or lose their power in her presence

She thought she did it right
She believed that she made the correct or best decision or action in a particular situation

The girl who fell across the sea
Referring to a girl who traveled or moved from a distant location, possibly experiencing challenges or obstacles along the way

Husam, who shot your daughter
Addressing a person named Husam, questioning or accusing them of being responsible for harming or killing someone's daughter

Asleep in the house of your father
Implies that the act occurred in a familiar or intimate setting, possibly by someone known to the victim or her family

The girl who fell across the sea
The same girl mentioned earlier, who may have faced violence or danger during her travels or after arriving at her destination

Turn as the earth, and be free
Suggesting that being grounded and in harmony with nature can bring a sense of liberation and peace

Weep in the well, and be free
Encouraging the release of emotions and sorrow, allowing for healing and personal growth

Drink mother's milk, and be free
Metaphorically representing the nurturing and comfort of familial love, which can provide a feeling of security and freedom

Turn as the earth
Reiterating the idea that being connected to nature, and perhaps to a spiritual sense of the earth, can bring a sense of grounding and peace

Turn as the earth, and be free
Repeating the previous sentiment, emphasizing the importance of feeling free and liberated through this connection

Turn as the earth, and be free
Continuing to reiterate the idea of finding freedom and peace through nature and the earth

Turn as the earth, and be free
The repetition of this line suggests an emphasis or importance on finding this connection and sense of liberation

Weep in the well, and be free
Repeating the idea that allowing oneself to feel and express emotions can lead to a sense of freedom and healing

Drink mother's milk, and be free
Again, emphasizing the importance of familial love and support, which can bring a sense of security and freedom

Turn as the earth and be free
The final line of the song reiterates the central idea of finding grounding and liberation through the natural world
