For the Sake of Brevity Lyrics

Listen up cubs, please don't be afraid
This is the worst news I swear I'll have to say to you

Mom's not here

God took her elsewhere, she's playing with deer
Where the snow is glistening year after year
I swear she's not dead
But she's never coming back again

Antarctica look what you did to us
Antarctica look what you did to us
Antarctica look what you did to us
Antarctica look what you did to us
You fucked it up
And for the sake of brevity, I'll sum this up
I'll sum this up

You opened my eyes, and closed them at the same time
You opened my eyes, and closed them at the same time
You opened my eyes, and closed them at the same time
You opened my eyes, and closed them at the same time
You opened up my eyes and closed them at the same time

What is the Meaning of For the Sake of Brevity?

Ever have an emotional rollercoaster of a song that hits you right in the feels? 🎢 Tiny Moving Parts crafts a bittersweet story about loss and acceptance. The narrator breaks the sad news of their mother's absence, explaining to "cubs" (possibly younger siblings) that she’s gone to a serene, snowy place—likely a metaphor for heaven. They blame "Antarctica" for taking her, personifying it as a cruel force that changed their lives forever. With the phrase "for the sake of brevity," they attempt to simplify a complex emotional journey. The recurring line about opening and closing eyes symbolizes a harsh awakening to reality. This song beautifully captures the pain of loss and the struggle to move forward. #LossAndAcceptance #EmotionalJourney 🌨️
