Blow Wind Blow
Unveiling Love's Resilience: Blow Wind Blow by Alison Moyet
Lyrics
Don't cry,
Expressing a plea for someone not to cry.
Please, don't cry.
Reiterating the request for the person not to cry.
I will take you somewhere
Promise to take the person to a safe place where they won't be harmed.
Where they can't hurt you.
Ensuring protection from harm for the person.
I won't let them hurt you now.
Reassurance that the speaker will prevent any harm to the person.
Let them know that our love knows no shame,
Expressing a commitment to a love without shame or judgment.
And we'll do it time, and time, and time again
Emphasizing the enduring nature of their love through repeated experiences.
Till everything comes down.
Suggesting a willingness to face challenges until everything resolves.
I'm not afraid.
Declaring fearlessness in the face of adversity.
I'm not afraid.
Reaffirming courage and resilience.
Blow, wind, blow.
Invocation for the wind to blow.
Blow dust into their eyes, and
Asking the wind to throw dust into the eyes of those causing harm.
Make them see that they have always been blind.
Desire for others to realize their blindness and shortcomings.
Touch me.
Expressing a desire for physical closeness and comfort.
I want to wrap you in my arms, and
Ensuring that the person has no reason to cry.
You'll have no reason for crying.
Reiterating the intention to protect from sadness.
Blow, wind, blow.
Invocation for the wind to blow again.
Blow, wind, blow.
Repetition of the plea for the wind to blow.
Blow dust into their eyes and help them
Asking the wind to help others realize their blindness.
Realize that they have always been blind.
Continuing the theme of awakening others to their shortcomings.
And I could show you something that you would never believe.
Offering to reveal something unbelievable to the person.
You could never conceive the joy that I could give you.
Expressing the potential for immense joy that the speaker could provide.
Take me.
Expressing a desire for the person to take the speaker.
Take me.
Repetition of the plea for the person to take the speaker.
Blow, wind, blow.
Invocation for the wind to blow again.
Blow, wind, blow.
Repetition of the plea for the wind to blow.
Blow, wind, blow dust into their eyes and
Asking the wind to throw dust into the eyes of those causing harm.
Let them know that nothing that we do will ever...
Asserting that their actions will never be forgotten.
Never be forgotten.
Emphasizing the lasting impact of their endeavors.
Blow, wind, blow.
Invocation for the wind to blow once more.
Blow.
Repetition of the command for the wind to blow.
Blow.
-Blow, wind, blow.
Final invocation for the wind to blow.
