This time, there was no turning back. No time travel that could fix the pain in Mario's heart. His soul was destroyed and his heart, broken. He felt terrible. How could he consider himself a hero, if he couldn't even save his own brother, Luigi? How can he keep saving Princess Peach, if the feeling that he didn't save Luigi keeps in his head?
He wonders how he can move on with his own life.
I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone
There was no person or job that could stop his fears of death. His life became hell without Luigi to comfort him or make him smile, like he always did. After their parent's death, Mario and Luigi became alone in the world, and promised to never let the other one go. Mario knew that he would never leave his heart, and that they will be always together, no matter what or who.
These wounds won't seem to heal; this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
Even the most powerful of the times couldn't take away the horrible memory of see Luigi laid down, with pale skin and unmoved. See his once bright, now dead, blue eyes. No smile in his once happy face. He was found like that in Bowser's Castle, under a big pile of wood and stone. Mario left him to save Peach, thinking that Luigi would make trough. But he didn't, and that would torment Mario till the rest of his life.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
Luigi always had a fear for ghosts, since a little child. Mario had to come all the nights in his bedroom to "scare away the terrifying ghosts", he said. But he didn't mind, it was great to see his happy face after the "Good job, Mario''. He remembers Luigi's first heartbreak, when they were fifteen. Luigi cried for a whole week, and Mario had to come to his bedroom to comfort him from the hole that the girl left in his chest. He was Luigi's right arm, holding his hand and catching him every time he falls. He would always be there for Luigi, but he was no longer there for him.
You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you've left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
Mario's dreams became nightmares after Luigi's death. His soft voice would chase him in every dream, asking him to help. He had no longer sanity to move on, Luigi's ghost had taken away all of his life. He was always so happy, always smiling and showing Mario the bright side of life. Now, there was no joy in his heart.
These wounds won't seem to heal; this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along
Luigi is gone. G-O-N-E. Mario would tell himself that, in a desperate way to get used to no longer have his brother company for life. But it didn't work, he would be always in his mind, in his heart, in his soul.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
