Dead Horse
Harvest of Heartbreak: Embracing Life's Painful Symphony
Lyrics
Here is my harvest of heartbreak
Expressing a collection of emotional pain and disappointment
Here is my threshing of tears
Acknowledging the process of dealing with and expressing sadness
I'd give you my dream but I lost it
Willingness to share dreams, though they have been lost in difficult times
Down in the locust years
Referring to a challenging period in life symbolized by "locust years"
Still praise is the song that I'm singing
Choosing to praise despite being surrounded by sorrow
Even though sorrow's my tune
Recognizing sorrow as a dominant theme in life
My love is only a whisper now
Love has become faint, almost like a whisper, but it is not wasted
But nothing is wasted with you
Emphasizing the value and purpose even in challenging situations
Here is my secret miscarriage
Revealing a personal and hidden experience of loss and pain
Here is my public divorce
Highlighting a painful and public separation
Nobody taught me to let go
Acknowledging a lack of guidance in learning how to let go
So I learned how to beat a dead horse
Metaphorically describing persistent efforts in a futile situation
Now all of my altars are empty
Describing a sense of emptiness and abandonment in spiritual spaces
Except for this lone hallelu
A solitary expression of praise, a lone "hallelu"
The heat of your fire's just a memory
Remembering the warmth of past passion and intensity
But nothing is wasted with you
Reiterating the idea that nothing is wasted, even in memories
Hungry as a mother who cannot find her child
Describing a deep hunger and a sense of loss comparable to a mother losing her child
We keep missing each other I'm in the liquor aisle
Expressing a sense of missing important connections in life
Prostrated in your glory I am bowed low under this
Being humble and prostrate in the face of divine glory and uncertainty
Either nothing is wasted or everything is
Contemplating the dichotomy of whether nothing is wasted or everything is
Here in the Holy of holies
Referencing a sacred and divine place, the Holy of holies
Here by the blood of the lamb
Symbolizing spiritual connection through the blood of the lamb
Words I have said all my life and believe
Expressing a belief in certain spiritual truths, yet facing a lack of understanding
but still I do not understand
Expressing a desire to live in divine presence despite challenges
But I want to live in your presence
Desiring divine presence regardless of timing or circumstance
However inopportune
Embracing the memories of past intensity despite the challenges
The heat of your fire's just a memory
Repeating the theme of remembering past passion as a memory
But nothing is wasted with you
Affirming that nothing is wasted, even in the face of memory
My love is only a whisper now
Love remains a faint whisper, but its value is not lost
But nothing is wasted with you
Reiterating the idea that nothing is wasted, even in the subtle expressions of love
