Can I help you, not to hurt, anymore?
We saw brilliance, when the world, was asleep
There are things that we can have, but can't keep
If they say
Who cares if one more light goes out?
In the sky of a million stars
It flickers, flickers
Who cares when someone's time runs out?
If a moment is all we are
Or quicker, quicker
Who cares if one more light goes out?
Well I do
The reminders, pull the floor from your feet
In the kitchen, one more chair than you need, oh
And you're angry, and you should be, it's not fair
Just 'cause you can't see it, doesn't mean it, isn't there
If they say
(I do)
Who cares if one more light goes out?

Back in July 2017, when I only sent these song's thoughts via WhatsApp
and didn't post here on the blog, I wrote about this song. I remember
people asking if it was about Chester Bennington, because I wrote about 6
days after his death. I can say yes and no, because the lyrics were
tickling my head again and again. And they did again when playing my
songs in random.
It is difficult to talk about death. Dealing
with it, even more! Everyday during news there is at least one call
about death. We are getting numb. Our feelings are getting numb. We
don't care anymore about others. We only want to check our belly
buttons, our ego. Our self. But how about the person next to me? And
when I say that, I don't mean only the ones I know, but those strange
faces we see passing by on streets. Have you ever thought about their
feelings? Have you ever noticed their facial expressions? Have you ever
stopped someone who was crying on a bench and asked if you could help?
We only care about life when someone dear to us dies. We only see the
real value when it isn't here anymore. We are 7 billion people in the
world. If just one dies, who will care? We all should and must care.
It's a life! Someone isn't here anymore! A family is crying. A family is
missing someone at their dinner table. Their thoughts and feelings will
never be the same.
Finally, coming back to the first
paragraph, where I said about Chester. He committed suicide because of a
hard depression he was suffering. Recently, I've seen lots of headlines
in articles saying someone has died because of depression, and even in
church with many pastors, a place you probably know I am into.
Depression is not a devil's thing. Depression is real and it is a
disease! Open your eyes. See the people. Care about them. Talk to them.
And if you're the one suffering, someone cares about you. Be strong and
seek help. If it's urgent, talk to me. I'm here for you!
Who cares if one more light goes out? I do.
