The Tide and Its Takers
Embracing the Tides of Love: 36 Crazyfists' Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Open to May, when we were young and brave
Reflecting on a past time in May, recalling youth and courage.
Took steps to remove me, I'll come in and out with the tides
Expressing resilience, asserting presence despite attempts to be removed.
The lost and the love, I admire
Admiration for both the lost and the loved.
You had every chance to close this, to take it all down and out of sight
Addressing missed opportunities to end a situation, urging closure and concealment.
Where there's nothing to find and there's nothing to hide
Describing a state where there's nothing to discover and nothing to keep secret.
Your breath fills my skin, all the way in
Intimacy described through the sensation of breath on the skin.
In the event of an emergency, I'll ask for your saving again
In crisis, seeking salvation from the other.
Return to now, as we are opened wide
Returning to the present moment, emphasizing openness.
Underneath the haze of lights and scents of cigarettes and lies
Under the influence of distractions (lights, scents, lies).
So say your goodbyes and let it all die tonight
Encouraging farewells and the end of a situation tonight.
'Cause you have every chance to close this, and let it all in and out of sight, where there's nothing to hide, where faith buries strike
Reiterating missed chances for closure, suggesting transparency, and referencing faith.
Your breath fills my skin, all the way in
Repetition of the intimate connection through breath.
In the event of an emergency, I'll ask for your saving again
Repetition of seeking salvation in emergencies.
I'd sleep in mountains of rain to never escape from the endless you
Willingness to endure challenges (mountains of rain) to remain connected.
And we'll side step the masses and live life through the glasses of truth
Choosing an authentic life, viewing reality through the lens of truth.
And you'll never go away
Expressing a desire for the other to persist.
Yeah, you'll never go away
Repetition, emphasizing the permanence of the other's presence.
