The song "Miracle" by Emarosa explores themes of loss, pain, and the fading of hope. The lyrics depict a personal struggle and the emotions that come with witnessing a loved one's decline. The song begins with the realization that something is wrong, as the protagonist's throat closes and their body feels as vast and dark as a night sky. The sound of someone's voice shakes them to their core, leading to a sense of wounded pride. The line "(This has to hurt)" emphasizes the intensity of the situation. The protagonist admits to thinking about the need to talk to the person they care about, indicating a desire for communication and understanding. However, they also express a feeling that their "miracle" is fading in this individual. This could refer to a sense of hope or positivity diminishing, as the word "miracle" suggests something extraordinary. The chorus repeats the idea of the miracle fading in and from the person, highlighting the emotional toll and sense of loss. The protagonist observes the person's suffering, watching them die a little and cry a lot. They acknowledge that perhaps they both deserve their pain, suggesting a sense of guilt or self-reflection. The lyrics also touch on the contrast between usually dry eyes and the overwhelming emotions that come when facing this particular situation. The phrase "I am an ocean" expresses the vastness and depth of these feelings. The bridge of the song shifts the perspective, addressing the loved one directly. The protagonist asks them not to deny fault and acknowledges their vulnerability as they hold hands. The line "Nothing ever happens until it happens to you" reflects the idea that empathy and understanding often only truly come when experiencing similar hardships. Overall, "Miracle" conveys the complexities of pain, guilt, and fading hope that arise when witnessing someone's decline. Despite the somber subject matter, the song encourages open communication and the need to confront these emotions rather than denying them.
