Ghost Knocking
Salvation's Seduction
Lyrics
What’s become of all that numb I used to feel?
Questioning the absence of previous emotional numbness
Upside down, you let me drown to reveal the heal
Feeling overturned and submerged, leading to healing
You picked me up, filled my cup, I guess it’s just my luck
Grateful for support received, considering it fortunate
One fell swoop, I’m recouped, my fate is sealed
Recovered suddenly and convinced of a predetermined destiny
I felt salvation at the door
Sensed deliverance or relief approaching
Was it too much to afford?
Questioning if the relief was too costly
But you swore open hearts could lead to more
Doubting the promise of deeper connections through vulnerability
All these years, all these fears, I walked them off
Endured many years and fears through resilience
Make father proud, big stick and loud, this cocktail’s Molotov
Striving to meet paternal expectations, resorting to aggression
Self-destruct, self-obstruct, I guess it’s just my luck
Tendency to self-sabotage, attributing it to fate
I’m compelled to break from this cell and feed from your trough
Feeling compelled to break free and rely on someone else's resources
I felt salvation at the door
Experiencing a sense of deliverance again
Was it too much to afford?
Similar doubt regarding the cost of the relief
But you swore open hearts could lead to more
Reiteration of doubt about the promise of open-heartedness
God knows I’m trying
Acknowledging efforts to change or improve
Expand this supply
Desiring an increase in resources or support
Still hurts when crying
Continued pain despite attempts at improvement
“Understand” is not “comply”
Understanding does not equate to compliance or agreement
Native plants on foreign lands, golden in your glow
Metaphorically referencing unfamiliarity in a familiar setting
Plant the seed, fertilize and feed, and watch it grow
Metaphorically cultivating and nurturing something valuable
And if it blooms right on cue, it’s all because of you
Crediting someone for success or growth
Place it on a grave, placed by mistake, and make it a show
Making a symbolic offering or gesture that might not be appropriate
I felt salvation at the door (I guess it’s just my luck)
Reiteration of sensing deliverance despite doubts
Was it too much to afford? (You showed up, right where I was stuck)
Reflecting on the cost and the unexpected support received
But you swore open hearts could lead to more (offered a branch with open hands)
Reaffirmation of promises of deeper connections
(Before the midnight bell struck)
Reference to a time constraint or deadline
I felt salvation at the door (I guess it’s just my luck)
Reiteration of sensing deliverance despite doubts
Was it too much to afford? (You showed up, right where I was stuck)
Reflecting on the cost and the unexpected support received
But you swore open hearts could lead to more (offered a branch with open hands)
Reaffirmation of promises of deeper connections
(Before the midnight bell struck)
Reference to a time constraint or deadline
