I Held Her in My Arms
Embracing Shadows: A Soul's Quest for Identity and Love
Lyrics
I'm gnawing on the knowledge,
The speaker is grappling with information or understanding.
That I have been burned,
They've experienced a painful situation.
And I'm learning things that I should've already learned,
Realizing they're learning lessons belatedly.
Everyone I already knew, wasn't kind and coy,
People they knew previously were not genuine or gentle.
I was with a girl, but it felt like I was with a boy,
Their relationship lacked an emotional connection.
I can't even remember, if we were lovers, or if I just wanted to,
Uncertainty about the nature of their past relationship.
But I held her in my arms,
They physically embraced someone.
I held her in my arms,
Repeated embrace of someone.
I held her in my arms but it wasn't you
The person they held wasn't the one they desired.
I will not kill, the one thing that I love,
They won't destroy something they love.
In this world of wreckage, I look above,
In a world of chaos, seeking guidance.
I said help me lord, help me understand,
Requesting assistance to comprehend masculinity.
What it means to be a boy, what it means to be a man
Understanding the concepts of boyhood and manhood.
I can't even remember, if we were lovers, or if I just wanted to,
Similar to line 7, uncertainty about past intimacy.
But I held her in my arms, I held her in my arms,
Reiteration of physically holding someone.
I held her in my arms but it wasn't you,
Embraced someone, yet not the desired person.
I'm gnawing on the knowledge that I have been burned,
Revisiting the pain of being hurt.
And I'm learning things that I should've already learned
Continued realization of delayed learning.
Everyone I ever knew, wasn't kind and coy,
Previous acquaintances were not genuine.
I was with a girl, but it felt like I was with a boy,
Feeling disconnected emotionally in a relationship.
I can't even remember, if we we're lovers, or if I just wanted to,
Reiterating uncertainty about past intimacy.
But I held her in my arms,
Physical embrace of someone.
I held her in my arms,
Repeating the act of physically holding someone.
I held her in my arms but it wasn't you
Physically holding someone, not the desired person.
I can't even remember, if we we're lovers, or if I just wanted to,
Uncertainty about past intimacy resurfaces.
But I held her in my arms,
Repeated physical embrace of someone.
I held her in my arms,
Reiteration of physically holding someone.
I held her in my arms but it wasn't you
Final repetition of holding someone who wasn't the desired person.
