A Slow Parade
A Slow Parade of Love's Ebb and Flow
Lyrics
Drag your shadow down the street
Feeling burdened or haunted by something
Is it you I was to meet?
Questioning if the anticipated meeting was with the intended person
With your saints there on a chain
Symbolizing religious or meaningful figures or memories carried
Waiting on another rain
Waiting for change or hoping for something new
And I'm going down
Descending into a situation or emotional state
Where the waves will surround
Heading towards a place of immersion or overwhelming circumstances
To the roar and the pound
Symbolizing the powerful, tumultuous nature of the sea
Of the wild wild sea
Describing the allure of something dangerous or unpredictable
Talking sweet to me
Being seduced or enticed by something risky
Marching in a slow parade
Moving forward slowly with a sense of ceremony or melancholy
There are ashes where you lay
Symbolizing a place of loss or destruction
And sometimes I don't mind at all
Accepting certain situations without much concern
And sometimes head against the wall
Experiencing frustration or feeling stuck in a situation
The tide will bring and tide will take
Symbolizing the cyclical nature of life's changes
Find another horse to break
Finding new challenges or situations to overcome
You're just a rider on a wheel
Being a participant in a cycle without much control
In a dream where love was real
Reflecting on a past where love felt genuine or authentic
And I going down
Repeating the descent towards a tumultuous situation
Where the waves will surround
Describing the engulfing nature of overwhelming circumstances
To the roll and the pound
Emphasizing the powerful, relentless aspect of the sea
Of the wild wild sea
Being enticed by something dangerous or unpredictable
Talking sweet to me
Experiencing the allure of something risky
