Hello – Adele
October 16, 2022
I came across Adele’s Song – ‘Hello’ – Today in my YT Music Play List . Though the song is nice, But the Lyrics caught my attention, and i gave it a very big thought.
Hello, it’s meI was wondering if after all these years you’d like to meetTo go over everythingThey say that time’s supposed to heal ya, but I ain’t done much healingHello, can you hear me?I’m in California dreaming about who we used to beWhen we were younger and freeI’ve forgotten how it felt before the world fell at our feetThere’s such a difference between usAnd a million milesHello from the other sideI must’ve called a thousand timesTo tell you I’m sorry for everything that I’ve doneBut when I call, you never seem to be homeHello from the outsideAt least I can say that I’ve triedTo tell you I’m sorry for breaking your heartBut it don’t matter, it clearly doesn’t tear you apart anymoreHello, how are you?It’s so typical of me to talk about myself, I’m sorryI hope that you’re wellDid you ever make it out of that town where nothing ever happened?It’s no secret that the both of usAre running out of time
The Song focuses on someone trying to say Sorry for all the hurt. Looking back at my own journey through life. Would Saying Sorry really heal all the damage done? All the People affected? I believe Faith and Culture has provided to people the tool of Forgiveness in one word – ‘Sorry’. But does sorry change anything. Makes me a very cold person … isnt it?
In my personal thought, i believe Sorrys are for those that accidentally impact you in the wrong way and not for habitual offenders. Sorry for those, People who truly believe they want to make amends for some wrong doing … mostly via mis-understanding or accidental incidents. But those that harm you for years and then have a major realization after decades have in a deep way lost you.
But does that mean there is no hope for long term reconciliation? Forgiveness? ….
I say there is ! … but depends on both, not just one and there should be progress towards making amends. You cant just say sorry anymore and expect the world to heal itself. The offender first needs to heal themselves, then give back to the world in the form of healing and love and then try to make amends with those hurt. But in the end its left in the hands and heart of those hurt – Whether life will move on!!!
So after listening to Adele – Hello ?… Am i truly cold ? No… just being practical.
