The Barrier
Breaking the Barriers: Discovering Life's Grandeur in Alexandra Riorden's Song
Lyrics
I have been lost many a time
I have experienced being lost multiple times
How do I get back to the light?
How can I return to the light?
Dreamed I fell from the top
Dreamed of falling from the top of the roof
Of the roof
Specifically from the roof, like a drop
Like a drop
Emphasizing the ease of being washed away
Was so easy to wash me away
Expressing a desire to be part of everything
Guess I wanted to be
Intention to belong to all that is observed
A part of all I see
Questioning how to overcome a barrier
How do I break down the barrier?
Metaphorically washing laundry in the rain
Washing laundry in the rain
Finding significance in simple activities
Something grand in the simple things
Waiting in line for oranges as a mundane yet grand act
Standing in line for oranges
Allowing time to progress naturally
Letting time fill out its orders
Counting and valuing one's own resources (quarters)
Counting all of my quarters
Describing life as a quarter of its entirety
Said it's a quarter of life
Inviting someone to stay
Won't you stay?
Being found in the kindness reflected in others' eyes
I have been found in the kindest of eyes
Lonely individuals understand not to cling too tightly
It's the lonely who know not to hold on too tight
Having experience on multiple planets, feeling life's waves
Cos I've been around a planet or two
Sensations of waves passing through
And I've felt the waves
Repeating the metaphor of washing laundry in the rain
Rolling right through
Finding significance in simple activities (again)
Washing laundry in the rain
Repeating standing in line for oranges
Something grand in the simple things
Allowing time to progress naturally (again)
Standing in line for oranges
Counting and valuing one's own resources (quarters) again
Letting time fill out its orders
Describing life as a quarter of its entirety (again)
Counting all of my quarters
Inviting someone to stay (repeated)
Said it's a quarter of life
Expressing a desire to be part of everything (repeated)
Won't you stay?
Questioning how to overcome a barrier (repeated)
I just wanted to be
Expressing a desire to be part of everything (repeated)
A part of all I see
Questioning how to overcome a barrier (repeated)
How do I break down
Expressing a desire to be part of everything (repeated)
Before I break down
Before facing a breakdown
How do I break down
Questioning how to overcome a breakdown
The barrier
Emphasizing the existence of a barrier
