This song is about a father who is reminiscing, wishing, and mourning. The first verse starts out with a line that is almost directly taken from Philza himself. “Things, (riches), they can be replaced. People, they can’t be replaced.” The next phrase, “Some say the life we live is the game we play, why do we play when we are in checkmate?” Is Philza practically saying, “why do we give up the things that matter when it will only end in losing the game?” The second little bit of the first verse is simply this father reminiscing on their past. Sweet things such as braids and flowers and soft songs before bed time. The verse takes a bitter turn at the end, when Philza references the fact that, as a young father, he could never have imagined them running from each other, from him, and from the family as a whole. This takes the entire song to a whole new level as the next verse begins with the line “fights, crying, we’d all disagree.” The saddest part of life is the loss of innocence and joy with aging and time. Philza explains how his very own family was practically being torn apart because they each focused on different beliefs and opinions that separated them, rather than the moments and things that brought them together. Well, life only seemed to get harder for each of them, as the next part focuses on each son in the darkest time of their lives. The first line of this next portion, “destruction, loss, and death”, represents Tommy during his exile. Lost and alone, held by the chains of his worst enemy who would soon be a factor of the result of his own (temporary) death. The next line is in reference to Technoblade, who has, ever since a child, suffered from the violent and cruel “voices in (his) head”. Notice how the main harmonies begin here, in representation. Last, but certainly not least, is the line “power turned to madness.” If there were any phrase that could describe Wilbur in his main arc in the story, it would be this. However, this is not the end of Wilbur's story. Not yet, at least, as the song continues to explain that, during Wilbur's darkest phase, he hadn’t quite made the right choice. Because of this, Wilbur ended up dying with his crave for power. “But you couldn’t quite grab…” At this portion of the song, the notes descend slowly, as if Wilbur were falling with his hand outstretched to his distant father who wanted nothing more than to save him from his own mind. “my wings,” Phil contributes, sighing, “oh, my wings.” With one of his sons gone, Phil sings in mourning that if only the others will come to him, he will take them into his wings and protect them and love them as any father longs for and desires. Sadly, this is only in his head for the time being, because his sons will not be back for him any time soon.
