@Kahiara Actually I think the husband passed away,
"She sang for you last night
She heard you were calling"
Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed.
"Don't be scared now
Close your eyes
She holds guard tonight
Go on forward no remorse
Life will take it's course"
This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral.
"She danced with you last night so you will remember
All you have shared, a lifetime."
This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
I was born in 1989
All we could do
No shakes or coughs or burst relief
Or lists of all our things
Just minutes making minds
I was born in 1989
All we could do
But the making never made
The comers never came
But I, I still felt that awful news
It was patience that we had
And the miles that we had left
That held us there
Until we could let go
I was born in 1989
And it'll be over soon
No moon children or people's sun
No ringing in my ears
When I, I still felt that awful news
It was patience that we had
And the miles that we had left
That held us there
Until we could let go
It was patience that we had
And the miles we had left
That held us there
Until we could let go (if our hearts would ever come around)
I was born in 1989
All we could do
And I didn't hurt nobody
In our minds, in our minds
And I didn't hurt nobody
And I, I still felt that awful news
It was patience that we had
And the miles that we had left
That held us here
Until we could let go
It was patience that we had
And the miles that we had left
That held us here
Until we could let go (if our hearts would ever come around)
All we could do
No shakes or coughs or burst relief
Or lists of all our things
Just minutes making minds
I was born in 1989
All we could do
But the making never made
The comers never came
But I, I still felt that awful news
It was patience that we had
And the miles that we had left
That held us there
Until we could let go
I was born in 1989
And it'll be over soon
No moon children or people's sun
No ringing in my ears
When I, I still felt that awful news
It was patience that we had
And the miles that we had left
That held us there
Until we could let go
It was patience that we had
And the miles we had left
That held us there
Until we could let go (if our hearts would ever come around)
I was born in 1989
All we could do
And I didn't hurt nobody
In our minds, in our minds
And I didn't hurt nobody
And I, I still felt that awful news
It was patience that we had
And the miles that we had left
That held us here
Until we could let go
It was patience that we had
And the miles that we had left
That held us here
Until we could let go (if our hearts would ever come around)

I believe this is another amazingly on point and nuanced commentary on the insanity that follows emotionally abusive relationships. The abuser has no anxieties, no emotional pain, or salience/memory for that matter, so the survivor appears to be the crazy one, obsessed with the abuse and that buzzword that seems to ignite arguments about diagnosing people without a degree, etc. funny how you say the words domestic violence, abuse, abuse survivor and boom the subject changes. Anyways, I especially relate to her midnights becoming afternoons, complex PTSD often leads to this phenomenon, whether due to purposeful sleep deprivation by the abuser, or just hyper vigilance associated with the PTSD, along with the fear of facing people, especially your loved ones, who
Never actually understand, even if they try, because all they see is you, on fire, screaming about the arsonist that no one ever sees, and who has been spreading lies about your alleged mental instability, deceptive personality, etc. the whole time. While the last thing survivors need is more blame, our society supports a narrative that blames the objectively innocent party because the blatantly guilty party has spent their entire lives fabricating a persona and we’re just being human, and human psychology is quite counterintuitive especially in the context of trauma. Look at Amber Heard. Vilified and not believed, regardless of what any abuse survivor could recognize as a fellow survivor instantly. But Johnny depp is a malignant narcissist, a man, and wealthy as all get out. It’s sick.
