In his lyrics he emphasizes the difficulty of saying goodbye to someone he has lived with forever.

Donc comment peut-on tourner la page et avancer après ce genre d’épreuve.

How does one move on and move on after such an ordeal? "How do I say goodbye to someone who has been with me my whole damn life?", especially if this person is his father. He looks like him and it is because of him that he exists. He says it himself in his lyrics 'you gave me my name and the color of your eyes, I see your face when I look at mine'.

His only goal for moving on, if his father leaves, is to make sure his mother is OK. He emphasizes this by saying: 'I saw the way she looked in your eyes. And I promise you that if you leave, I will make sure she is OK'. So the only way he has found to move on is to take care of his mother?

This music does not directly answer our questions on the subject, but rather emphasizes the importance of retrospection to find an answer, simply because it is a personal answer and can only be found by us
