The Perfect Kiss
Dreams Beyond Despair: Bette Midler's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
Across the bridge of mercy bound,
Embarking on a journey through compassion.
Rooms so full of say you will
Spaces filled with promises of commitment.
And trains that rock like cradles in the air.
Trains symbolizing life's gentle movements, like cradles in the sky.
I'll stay here and hold your hand.
Expressing a willingness to offer support and comfort.
Love likes fools you understand.
Love can be irrational and bewildering.
It's part of what this life has brought;
Acknowledging the diverse experiences that life presents.
Sirens and forget-me-nots.
Mixing elements of danger (sirens) and remembrance (forget-me-nots).
Either way it's no use now.
A resigned realization that the situation is futile.
He's up there and i'm down here.
A physical and emotional distance between two individuals.
I will try to make the best of this.
Determined to find positivity despite challenges.
Someday angels will dream the perfect kiss.
An optimistic hope for a transcendent, perfect kiss in the future.
All the signs that pointed home
Indications pointing towards home become unhelpful.
Turned their backs the more i roamed
Abandoning the familiar for unknown paths where love seems absent.
And walked where love would never call my name.
Choosing a route where love does not recognize or acknowledge.
So let me take you to the train
Offering companionship and tenderness in difficult times.
And hold you softer than the rain.
A promise to hold someone gently despite life's challenges.
We're all alone, two alley cats
A sense of shared solitude, comparing themselves to alley cats.
Curled up like a scarf and hat.
Intimacy expressed through the imagery of curled-up figures.
Who knows how it came to this.
Reflecting on the inexplicable nature of their current situation.
I don't know you and you don't know me.
A mutual lack of knowledge about each other.
But sometimes strangers cross that great abyss.
Strangers overcoming significant differences for a moment of connection.
That's when angels will dream the perfect kiss.
The idealized moment when divine forces create the perfect kiss.
Either way it's no use now.
A repetition emphasizing the hopelessness of the current situation.
He's up there and i'm down here.
Reiterating the physical and emotional distance between individuals.
But i must try to make the best of this.
Persisting in making the best out of a challenging circumstance.
Someday angels will dream the perfect kiss.
A renewed hope for a perfect kiss in the future, despite challenges.
Someday angels will dream the perfect kiss.
The expectation that divine beings will one day orchestrate the ideal kiss.
