Morning Drum
Echoes of Resilience: Morning Drum's Poetic Message
Lyrics
Can you hear the morning drum
Reference to a distant sound, possibly symbolic of awakening or a call to action
Beating out over the city hum
The sound extends across the noise of the city, metaphorically representing an awakening or realization
Growing fainter through these bitter months
As time passes, the awakening or realization diminishes during difficult or challenging times
Laying low your hopes they rest
Suggests suppressing or keeping one's aspirations low
They’ve been sleeping in a drunken mess
Refers to neglecting or not nurturing aspirations due to intoxication or distractions
Better leave them they’re not ready yet
Advises against pursuing aspirations prematurely, indicating they're not yet developed or matured
Underneath the undertone
Refers to hidden or underlying aspects, possibly related to societal constructs
Where they build things to intimidate
Refers to structures created to intimidate or overpower
Cold designers of our common fate
Highlights the influence of powerful individuals or groups on collective destiny
You can’t forget your history
Emphasizes the importance of remembering past events or lessons
There are scars where there was once divide
Indicates remnants or marks of past conflicts or divisions
Cover up your different states of mind
Suggests concealing or hiding one's differing thoughts or emotions
Lighting up solitary streets
Describes illuminated, yet solitary, paths or journeys
Phosphorescence in the river Spree
Depicts luminescence in a specific river, symbolizing something remarkable or unique
Everybody’s not my enemy
Contradicts the notion of everyone being an adversary
Coming up for air again
Returning to the surface or consciousness after a challenging period
Find the holes in the sheets of rain
Searching for clarity amidst difficulties or hardships
Hold your breath until they come again
Suggests anticipation or preparedness for difficult times to come again
I can hear the morning drum
Reiteration of the distant awakening sound, possibly indicating continuity
I can’t love you if you break me down
Expresses an inability to love if one is emotionally or physically broken down
I can’t love you if you break me down
Reiterates the condition of being unable to love if damaged
