Love's Redemption: Switching Off the Past
Lyrics
It’s what you do
Expressing the importance of actions.
What I don’t do
Highlighting personal omissions or inactions.
Why I love you
Stating affection for a specific reason.
What I meant to say
Referencing a previously intended message.
I already miss you
Expressing pre-emptive nostalgia or longing.
We were the fools
Reflecting on past foolishness.
And you were right
Acknowledging another's correctness.
But for now just hear me
Requesting attention for a specific message.
What I meant to say
Referring again to a previously intended message with added emotional emphasis.
I’ve always loved you anyway
Affirmation of enduring love despite circumstances.
These stupid fights
Describing conflicts as senseless.
Killed our islands of light
Indicating that conflicts have dimmed positive aspects.
But for the last time
Declaring a final resolution.
Our souls ignite
Emphasizing a shared spiritual connection.
My beacon, my silver and gold
Symbolizing a cherished person or relationship.
I had to lose
Accepting loss as a necessity.
This beautiful baggage that I never choose
Describing burdensome aspects of a relationship that were not chosen.
I'll hang me out
Publicly acknowledging a sacrifice.
For the whole town to see
Expressing willingness to reveal personal vulnerabilities.
What a woman did for me
Recognizing a woman's significant impact.
Switch off the machines
Metaphorically suggesting an end to external influences.
Lie next to me
Desiring physical closeness for comfort.
So I can breathe you
Expressing a need to absorb the essence of a person.
Mainline your smile
Seeking a deep emotional connection through a smile.
Bring forth a kiss
Requesting an affectionate gesture.
Before I release you
Indicating a willingness to let go or set free.
I switched on the lights
Recalling a commitment to illumination.
I promised that I’d protect you
Committing to protection.
And now that it’s done
Declaring completion and the need for progress.
It's time to move on
Acknowledging the necessity of moving forward.
It’s what you do
Repeating the contrast of actions and inactions.
What I don’t do
Reiterating personal omissions or inactions.
Why I love you
Reaffirming affection for a specific reason.
What I meant to say
Referring again to a previously intended message with added emotional emphasis.
I already miss you
Expressing pre-emptive nostalgia or longing.
