Shallow Lakes
Whispers of Shallow Lakes: A Tale of Time and Memories
Lyrics
We went through the night,
We experienced the night together.
To find our ghosts,
We sought to discover our inner demons or past experiences.
Trembling with evening songs we wrote.
We were emotionally vulnerable, expressing our feelings through evening songs.
Threw a heavy stone, followed the aim of my arm home,
I threw a heavy stone, aiming for a target, possibly metaphorical, and followed its trajectory home as the sun set.
For sundown.
This action took place during sundown.
Though your arm is steady, you've got winter
Despite your firm resolve, the passage of time and the harshness of life are evident.
In your bones you're growing old,
Winter in your bones symbolizes aging or feeling the effects of time.
cnd the lines around your eyes come when you smile,
Lines around the eyes appear when you smile, suggesting the beauty in aging.
Shallow lakes, sending ripples through your skin.
Shallow lakes represent emotional depth, and the ripples suggest the impact of experiences on your essence.
She says 'I think I'm leaving this behind when the
A person contemplates leaving something behind when the shadows on the heath lose their sight, possibly referring to leaving a troubled past.
Shadows on the heath go blind, the night comes in again'
Night returns, and there's a sense of uncertainty or fear.
I would paint the memory, write it down, save it when
Expressing a desire to preserve memories through art and writing.
You come to town we'll share, in it, then.
Planning to share and relive those memories when reunited in town.
Though your arm is steady,
Reiteration of the theme of aging and the inevitable passage of time.
You've got winter in your bones, you're growing old,
Reiterating the presence of aging or the metaphorical winter in one's bones.
cnd the lines around your eyes come when you smile,
Lines around the eyes as a result of smiling, emphasizing the beauty in the aging process.
Shallow lakes, sending ripples through your skin.
Repeat of the metaphor of shallow lakes and their impact on the person's essence.
We'll be buried with our evening songs, she sang,
Anticipation of being buried with the emotional experiences expressed through evening songs.
Buried with our evening songs, she sang,
Repetition of the idea of being buried with evening songs, emphasizing its significance.
So follow them on with the faith you gave them then.
Encouragement to follow those evening songs with the faith that was given to them.
