This song is gorgeous, just like everything Emily Wells creates.
I would say that this songs mere position on the CD is part of its meaning.
It is positioned number 9. Most people who listen to her CD will probably think the "peak" (most intense part; the climax) of the album is Symphony 6, but I would say they are incorrect. The peak to me is number 8, when she peaks the album to its finale. Life or death. Existense or not. She infers that all you have is your life, and you have to give it more than one chance.
Then comes this song, Symphony 9. The afterglow after the intensity of glimpsing the end.
"I'd fire off a round if I had it in me;
but I know someday'll be a sunshine memory"
She speaks of life and love. Childhood and present. Future and unknowing. Memories forgotten. Memories remembered.
