otuka - still save a seat for you

produced by grayskies

lyrics:

I still save a seat for you
it’s just out of habit
I can’t remembered what happened

it’s like I blinked then you’re gone
it’s not the same place without you
don’t think I forgot you
why does it feel so wrong?
hate to go on but I got to
My words never got through
and they won’t cuz you’re gone

there’s this void inside my chest
inside my head, I can’t fill it
don’t know the last thing I said,
the last thing we did
why couldn’t I cry that day?
no tears streaming down my face

I wish I could say goodbye- bye- bye
would I feel the same?
or would I get peace of mind? - mind - mind
wish we could go back frame by frame
take it all away
one more time

but we don’t get what we ask for

why am I breaking down
I’m feeling it now
there’s no use in hiding when no one’s around
I’ll figure it out
I won’t make a sound
I’ll keep it to myself like it’s all I’m allowed
I still save a seat for you
Only if I knew
We’d be stuck like glue
Til the end

it’s like I blinked then you’re gone
it’s not the same place without you
don’t think I forgot you
why does it feel so wrong?
hate to go on but I got to
My words never got through
and they won’t cuz you’re gone

[craftiermemo]

each drop is better than the last, your genuinely some of my top artists

[the_blxck_sheep]

ik this is prob abt a relationship w someone special but I also interpreted it as losing your connection to your past self.

"its like i blinked and your gone" (life passes so quickly)
"its not the same place wo you" (i dont know who i am anymore)
"my words never got through and now they wont because your gone" (couldnt help myself in the past)
"why couldnt i cry that day" (too much trauma caused by too much change too quickly)
"i wish i could say goodbye" (lack of closure w the passage of time)

a song of mourning, truly beautiful no matter the interpretation
I love your art man, please continue carving yourself into our world <3

I still save a seat for you
It's just out of habit
I can't remember what happened
(I'm just procrastinating)

[Chorus]
It's like I blinked and you're gone
It's not the same place without you
Don't think I forgot you
Why does it feel so wrong?
Hate to go on but I got to
My words never got through
And they won't 'cause you're gone
(And they won't 'cause you're gone)

There's this void inside my chest
Inside my head, I can't fill it (I can't fill it)
Don't know the last thing you said
The last thing we did
Why couldn't I cry that day? (Why couldn't I cry that day?)
No tears streaming down my face

[Verse 2]
I wish I could say goodbye, bye, bye
Would I feel the same?
Or would I get peace of mind, mind, mind?
Wish we could go back frame by frame
Take it all away one more time (More time)

[Bridge]
But we don't get what we ask for

[Verse 3]
Why am I breaking down? I'm feeling it now
There's no use in hiding when no one's around
I'll figure it out, I won't make a sound
Keep it to myself like it's all I'm allowed
I still save a seat for you, only if I knew
We'd be stuck like glue 'til the end

It's like I blinked and you're gone
It's not the same place without you
Don't think I forgot you
Why does it feel so wrong?
Hate to go on but I got to
My words never got through
And they won't 'cause you're gone
It's not the same place without you
Don't think I forgot you
Why does it feel so wrong?
Hate to go on but I got to
My words never got through
And they won't 'cause you're gone

[Outro]
The emergency stop will now activate
The ship will detonate in t-minus
Five, four, three, two, one

[kaptain-quake]

Sounds like an acceptance of despair... Life is beautiful there is always a Choice.
