The Lovers
Embracing Vulnerability: The Otherworldly Dance of Love in 'The Lovers'
Lyrics
I'm so scared
I'm experiencing fear
That this could end
Concern that this relationship might conclude
Before the moon has reached it's bed
Before the night has concluded
Afraid of light
Fearful of illumination
We see by touch
We comprehend through tactile sensation
Silhouettes in this bedroom
Outlines in this room
If you're willing I am ready
Expressing readiness if the other party is also willing
To open up my heart to you
Ready to reveal emotions to the other person
If you're willing I am ready
Expressing readiness if the other party is also willing
To open up my scars for you
Prepared to reveal past emotional wounds for the other person
Don't be scared
Encouraging the partner not to fear the shared experiences
Of what we've shared
Not to be afraid of what they have together
We're barely humans in this bed
Feeling less than human in the intimacy of the bed
We dance with ghosts
Engaging with memories or remnants of the past
We sleep with stars
Metaphorically connecting with celestial bodies while asleep
We're otherworldly in the dark
Feeling otherworldly in the darkness
If you're willing I am ready
Expressing readiness if the other party is also willing
To open up my heart to you
Willing to disclose emotions to the other person
If you're willing I am ready
Expressing readiness if the other party is also willing
To open up my scars to you
Prepared to reveal past emotional scars for the other person
Show me your scars
Request to see the emotional wounds of the other person
Show me your scars
Repeated request to see emotional scars
Show me your scars
-Show me your scars
-You want me to be scared of you
Suggesting a desire for the partner to evoke fear
It's so hard
Expressing difficulty in feeling scared
When we touch we bloom
When physically intimate, they both flourish
Yeah
Emphatic agreement or confirmation
If you're willing I am ready
Expressing readiness if the other party is also willing
To open up my heart to you
Willing to disclose emotions to the other person
If you're willing I am ready
Expressing readiness if the other party is also willing
To open up my scars for you
Prepared to reveal past emotional scars for the other person
