As The Footsteps Die Out Forever

Streetlight Manifesto

Transposer:

Just thought I would post a complete version of the song. Tuning: Standard [Intro]: |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| |-----------------------------------------------------------------------| D|-----------------------------------------------------------------------|X2 E|----0---0--5-4-5/7--7---------5---5----5----2-2-2-4-5-5-4-2-0----------| She was diagnosed on a Friday The kids were almost home The kids were on their way back home from school Lying face down in the gutter Of unaccomplished dreams And broken memories of things to come. "Sorry ma’am I really am. I had to break the news. I had to make the phone call to tell you that you’re due You know where I’ll tell you when And I suggest you start living these next three weeks The best way that you can. " Every night for three long weeks She’d roam the hallways half asleep And as the footsteps fade away In my mind I could swear I could swear I heard her say: Don’t wait for me you’ve got a lot to do you’ve got a lot to be And in the end maybe I’ll see you there. x4 Lost her strength on a Saturday Spent the day in bed. Yeah I’m fine; it’s just the flu she said with a smile But when they turned their backs The tears would flow. She knew she only had a while to live To breathe to be to see to bleed To stand on her own two weakened feet "And so I pray everyday: don’t take my mother away" Every night for three long weeks She’d roam the hallways half asleep And as the footsteps fade away In my mind I could swear I could swear I heard her say: Don’t wait for me you’ve got a lot to do you’ve got a lot to be And in the end maybe I’ll see you there. x4 Every night for three long weeks She’d roam the hallways half asleep And as the footsteps fade away In my mind I could swear I could swear I heard her say: Don’t wait for me you’ve got a lot to do you’ve got a lot to be And in the end maybe I’ll see you And in the end you know I’ll see you There and in the end I’ll see you there. Don’t wait for me you’ve got a lot to do you’ve got a lot to be And in the end maybe I’ll see you there.

La chanson évoque l'histoire d'une femme qui, confrontée à une maladie grave, essaie de vivre pleinement ses derniers jours. Elle prend le temps de rassurer sa famille, même si elle sait qu'elle n'a plus beaucoup de temps, en leur conseillant de ne pas l'attendre et de profiter de la vie. Les paroles capturent cette lutte entre l'acceptation de la réalité et le désir d'encourager ceux qu'elle aime à continuer à avancer malgré sa souffrance. Le récit se déroule sur une période de trois semaines, où elle erre dans sa maison, partageant son désespoir tout en essayant de donner de l'espoir aux autres. Ce moment difficile est un rappel poignant de l’importance de vivre chaque instant, tout en laissant finalement une promesse de retrouvailles dans l’au-delà. Ce mélange d’émotion, de tristesse et de résilience résonne profondément.
