Safe in Your Arms
Embracing Loss and Love: Safe in Your Arms
Lyrics
Home is where the heartbreak
Home is a place of heartbreak.
Wraps cold around my bones
The pain of heartbreak feels physically cold and enveloping.
Forgives me if I promise
Forgiveness is sought with a promise to forget past experiences.
To forget what I have known
The willingness to let go of what has been known.
Ignores and never mentions
Ignoring and avoiding mentioning past mistakes.
I just came waltzing in
The narrator entered casually, perhaps without due consideration.
With stones tied together
Carrying emotional burdens symbolized by stones and broken string.
With broken bits of string
Fragmented and damaged elements in the narrator's life.
Time moves so sure
The inevitability of time's progression.
Runs rings around the trees
Time moves steadily, encircling nature.
Its silence mocking
The silence of time mocks, creating a contrast with nature's sounds.
In the wind against the leaves
Wind against leaves emphasizes the mocking nature of silence.
For all your loss and gain
The soul defines suffering through loss and gain.
The soul defines the suffering
Highlighting the significance of the soul in experiencing suffering.
An illusion is hope born from fear
Hope is portrayed as an illusion born from fear.
And now you're right back here
The return to a familiar place despite previous experiences.
Safe in my arms my dear
Feeling secure and protected in the arms of a loved one.
All is as I left it
Returning home, finding everything unchanged on the surface.
Never more so what it seems
Things are not always what they appear to be.
My bed is as I made it
The bed remains as made, but what transpired is hidden.
Just not what went between
Alluding to the intimacy that occurred in the bed.
And I still feel alive
Feeling alive despite the absence of something significant.
In what is no longer there
An awareness of what is no longer present.
The shadows slide behind
Shadows symbolize the remnants of the past.
Drawing clouds across the air
Creating a visual representation of memories affecting the present.
Time moves so sure
Reiteration of the inevitability of time.
Runs rings around the trees
Time encircles nature, repeating its influence.
Its silence whispers
The silence of time whispers against the leaves.
In the wind against the leaves
Emphasizing the subtle impact of time on nature.
For all your loss and gain
Defining suffering through the experiences of loss and gain.
The soul defines the suffering
Reiterating the soul's role in the perception of suffering.
An illusion is hope born from fear
Hope is portrayed as an illusion originating from fear.
But now I'm right back here
A return to a familiar and comforting place.
Safe in your arms my dear
Feeling secure and protected in the arms of a loved one.
