A Song for You
embrace today Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Its a shame you had to end this way.
Your ignorance so thoughtless so dead.
You had the chance to be somebody's hero and you decided to turn and walk away.
You had the chance. you turned away.
And I won't forget your face.
Look into these eyes and tell me what you see.
This is how we kill your ignorance.
So thoughtless so dead.
You had the chance to be somebody's hero and you failed.
I raise my fist to the sky, I drop to my knees I wonder if retribution is the answer motherfucker
You can burn in hell.
Burn in hell
The lyrics of "A Song For You" are a poignant commentary on the tragedy of wasted potential. The singer reflects on the loss of someone young and beautiful, but ultimately empty and thoughtless - someone who had the opportunity to be a hero to someone else, but instead chose to turn away. The singer refuses to forget the face of the person they are addressing, and challenges them to look into their eyes to see what they have become.
The second verse continues with frustration and anger, as the singer describes the way in which ignorance and thoughtlessness lead to broken dreams and wasted lives. The singer raises their fist in defiance, but also acknowledges the futility of seeking revenge or retribution - instead, the person they are addressing will simply be left to burn in hell.
Overall, the lyrics of "A Song For You" are a powerful reminder of the potential we all have to make a positive impact on the world and on those around us. They also serve as a warning that egotism, apathy, and negligence can ultimately lead to a tragic end.
